Overview
Verviers is a charming city of 55,000 in Belgium's Wallonia region, sitting at the foot of the Ardennes. Once a major industrial centre powered by water and renowned for textile and wool production, it now preserves that heritage in a beautifully hilly landscape dotted with elegant 19th-century buildings.
