Blegny-Mine

Located near Liège, this site is a former coal mine converted into an industrial heritage museum. It is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors go here to learn about the history of the mining industry and to take a guided tour through the underground galleries to see the conditions of former mining labor.

Getting There

The site is situated outside the Liège city centre. Access is typically via car or local public transport. The journey from the centre generally takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes depending on the mode of transport and traffic conditions.

Duration of Visit
