Quick ride by bicycle from Liège to Saint-Nicolas

Hop on your bike in Liège’s vibrant city center and head west toward Saint-Nicolas on this short-but-sweet 4.4 km ride. Leaving Liège, known for its lively markets and beautiful Meuse riverbanks, you’ll quickly find yourself gaining some elevation—expect a healthy 110 meters of climbing! The good news? Most of your journey is on quiet roads with smooth asphalt, making for a comfortable ride (your legs might disagree if you’re not ready for some hills).

As you pedal along, you’ll pass through residential neighborhoods that show off a different side of Liège—less touristy, more local—and catch small glimpses of city life transitioning seamlessly into the calm of Saint-Nicolas. This suburb is famous for its working-class roots and red-brick houses lining the streets.

With so much of the route on paved, low-traffic roads, it’s a pleasant trip for commuters or anyone looking to escape the bustle of central Liège without going far. Have a great ride, and don’t forget to check out local bakeries at either end for some post-cycle treats!
