Liège shopping centre Galeries St Lambert counts on boost thanks to tram

With the brand new tram line dropping shoppers at the doorstep of Galeries St Lambert after years of large-scale works, the Liège shopping centre hopes to grow again to seven million visitors a year.

A long ordeal

For the past six years, Liège city centre has been one huge construction site due to major infrastructure works. On top of this came the drastic pandemic: needless to emphasise that Liège’s retailers had to undergo a long ordeal. That is now fortunately behind us: the tram line has been operational for a few weeks, with a stop in front of the Galeries St Lambert inner-city shopping centre, which opened in 2004 and has been owned by AG Real Estate since 2015.
