I climbed the Montagne de Bueren with a Nomax group and ended the day at a tiny café in the Carré — great company and local tips. We later explored La Batte market together.

Joining a food meetup introduced me to boulets à la Liégeoise and a craft beer bar near Guillemins; the group made the city come alive. Nomax made organizing easy and local-focused.
I met friends for a day trip to Roche aux Faucons and we discovered hidden viewpoints and a cozy bakery in Outremeuse — memorable and safety-conscious. Great way to see Liège beyond the guidebook.
