Coteaux de la Citadelle

A green protected area on the south slope of the citadel hill, where vineyards, orchards, old walls, and stone-stepped alleys form a secret walking route beside the old town.

The Coteaux de la Citadelle is a green hillside between the Montagne de Bueren steps and Sainte-Walburge. It is protected as a natural and historic heritage area. Scattered across it are remnants of medieval city walls, monastery gardens, small vineyards, and steep stone-stepped lanes. Several marked trails start from rue Hors-Château or rue Pierreuse, offering views of the old town's rooftops and the Meuse along the way. The full loop takes about one to two hours and is free. It can be combined with the Montagne de Bueren steps, the citadel viewpoint, and the Museum of Walloon Life for a half-day outing.
