1. December 44 Historical Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 228 reviews
The December 44 Museum is located in the hearth of the Belgian Ardennes, in the village of La Gleize, where the Battle of the Bulge was fought, on the northern part of the offensive. Surrounded by American airborne, armored and infantry forces, 800 German survivors of the 1st Panzer SS, a "Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler" elite division, lead by Peiper, fled on Christmas Eve leaving behind 135 armoured vehicles including the 69 tonne King Tiger tank, still visible at the museum.The museum accurately recounts these tragic events through one of the most important collection in Europe, most of it collected on the very battlefield where it was fought.

I had long wished to visit the area and I finally did this in December 2019. I'll try not to repeat what has been written before - but essentially, the museum focuses on the German side of the Battle of Bulge and a lot of the artefacts and uniforms were found in the immediate area of La Gleize - which is as far as Peiper and his tanks got. Dioramas with mannequins display a variety of original SS, Heer, Fallschirmjäger and Luftwaffe uniforms. There are certainly US exhibits - both in display cases and with dioramas, but the focus is on the German aspect of the campaign. I'm a militaria collector as well as a WW2 tour guide and I have to say, this is an impressive display. Did a mention there is a Königstiger out the front? :-) I got here late in the day so it was not so busy. Staff were friendly and approachable.

Nice exhibition, beautiful building with modern extensions. Management does a lot of efforts to explain and show past and present history.

Although it is not the main church of Luik, this one is at least as pretty, but probably prettier than the St paul. Especially the roof is amazing. A very good place to enjoy piece and quietness.

This is a site ( massacre of US Army POWs at the Crossroads nearby ) of historical importance to show how the situation can have a decisive impact on individual soldiers. Visiting the memorial site and the museum is a must see for every interested person in the Battle of the Ardennes. Fantastic collection of historical correct uniforms and equipment and very wel displayed. The audio system works splendid and is even overwhelming in its information in so far it can become to much. The uniformed mannequins, the equipment, armory, information, rewards, badges,.... highly informative. A MUST SEE!!! Friendly staff, top location, up to date and a small cafetaria in annexe. Don't forget to visit also LA GLAIZE museum with the kings tiger tank ( Königstiger Panzer ). Remember the hardship these men went through in the frostbite of the winter 1944 into 1945. So many got maimed, prisoner of war or lost their live. Respect

Reviewed By Aipalovik - Brussels, Belgium
Our visit lasted one hour due to lack of time, but we could have stayed longer. The exhibits and the 10 min introductory film are very good and give a clear view of the war context, the strategic importance of the fort, and the reasons why the fort was captured so quickly. The only negative was the status of the path around the top of the fort. While the circuit is relatively well indicated, it is poorly maintained and some sections can be dangerous for pedestrians that do not have good footing especially where the handrails are missing or broken. The path offers views of some of the top bunkers but again access for good views is not always easy. We also missed the side path with the view over the Meuse and the canal.
8. Opera Royal de Wallonie-Liege
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 197 reviews
Founded in 1967, the association Opéra Royal de Wallonie-Liège is largely subsidized by the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, the City and Province of Liege. It is one of three major opera houses in Belgium. From the beginning, the institution occupies the Théâtre Royal de Liège, beautiful building loaned by the City of Liège (opened November 4, 1820). Its location in the heart of Liège and the Euregio, at the crossroads between Germany, the Netherlands, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and France, attracts a wide audience both Belgian and international.

Recently renovated to perfection in the best state-of-the-art, the Opera Royal de Wallonie-Liege, is a stunning place. To listen to classical music or to watch an opera in this beautiful environment is a delight. Not talking about the overall quality of performance! A small city like Liege, thanks to its rich history, is so lucky to have a place like this!

Had planned to visit three brewpubs in Liege, but never managed to drag myself away! Lucky to find a little table in the busy court yard/beer garden, set in a lovely historical building. Tasted 4 excellent beers of the 6 on offer, service was friendly and efficient with good knowledge of the beers and good English spoken by the staff! Got chatting to some other friendly folk, also there for the beer and eventually ordered some food and enjoyed the rest of the evening! Can't recommend this place enough!
