Any tips or info for a EBGL layover? I think we are staying at the Park Inn, near the airport. I'm looking for watering holes and eateries either within walking distance, or a short cab ride, but any other oddities of interest are also good.

Thank you in advance, your help is much appreciated.

Get a waffle. Liege Waffles are the best in the world!

There is nothing at all around The Park Hotel, just the airport. If you do go out don't go alone Liege is like the crime capitol of Europe as far as hold-ups/muggings. In town there are plenty of bars & restaurants.

Thanks for the the heads up, I didn't realize the Park Inn was actually at the airport till I Googled it. Sounds like the thing to do is grab a few friends (witnesses) and head into town.

About how many Euros for the cab ride into town?

well it actually is a pretty good layover despite one opinion here, crime....if your company wears bomber jackets, and if your whole crew wear them in to town, then you could be targeted.
It happens to be the french speaking side of Belgium. if you speak french, then you have it made. downtown near the river close to the the train station, there are 100's of bars and restaurants, lots of good beer,(Juplier) and hot women. have fun, ride from EBLG, to town, ? good luck, far away.
The Park used to be nice, about a year ago they had a huge fire in the place, nearly burned it down.
