It's a steep climb up, but you get rewarded with great views over the city and the river...the citadel itself seems neglected though, nothing to visit there...just go for the workout and the view

The steep slope of the Citadel starts right behind the city centre and offers a stark contrast and a nice physical challenge to the visitor. Lots of green and cobble stones give it a rather rural feel, and the views are great. You get a sense of why the site was chosen to build a city, and become aware of its history and what life would have been like in this part of the world.

This hilly area of the Citadel of Liege is hard work to get to, but you'll be rewarded with excellent views of the city below. The views from the top of Montagne de Bueren are excellent, but if you go further along to Belvédère Liège, the views are even clearer and better. There isn't much to see of the citadel and it's mostly ruins. You can still walk around and see a lot of what remains as much of it is still standing. The area has paved walking paths and is a pleasant area for a stroll.…
