Discover Verviers, the water capital of Wallonia. Located at the heart of the "Blue Ardennes" the town was once an important wool-spinning and weaving centre. Now its industrial buildings have had a facelift and you are invited to visit! To make your stay extra special, we have included a gourmet trail along the River Vesdre. You will travel to a different restaurant for each course of your meal, with full route notes and commentary. The meal will include local specialties, and at the same time you can admire Verviers' beautiful heritage. Your tasting trail will end at a famous chocolatier's. To complete your break, add a visit to one of Verviers' museums: the Fashion and Wool Centre or the Water Centre, or stop off at Spa or Liège, which are only a short drive away!
