Morning light slices across the Meuse as the town wakes; narrow streets steam with café espresso and the cathedral’s buttresses throw long, sharp shadows.

Expect cobbles and stairs
Wear supportive walking shoes—cobbled streets and the citadel climb are uneven and can be slick when wet.
Bring a light jacket
The cave stays cool year-round and the riverfront can be breezy, so an extra layer is useful even on warm days.
Cash for small purchases
Some local museums, cafes or small shops may accept only card or cash for quick purchases—have a small amount on hand.
Book private times early
Private tours are limited; reserve morning slots to avoid peak cruise-ship crowds and to catch softer light for photos.
Supportive walking shoes
Good traction and ankle support for cobbles and the citadel steps.
Light rain jacket or windbreaker
Spring showers and river breezes make a packable shell useful.
