Verviers is located in the valley of the Vesdre River, shaped heavily by its legacy as one of the world's leading wool processing centers during the 19th century. The urban landscape reflects this industrial past through large, neoclassical factory buildings and the opulent merchant mansions situated in the upper town. The Centre Touristique de la Laine et de la Mode, housed in a former textile factory, details the mechanical and social history of the local industry. The city's water supply, vital for washing wool, was secured by the construction of the Gileppe Dam nearby in 1878. Today, Verviers is undergoing extensive reconstruction following the devastating floods of 2021, aiming to modernize its infrastructure while preserving its distinct architectural heritage.
The most pleasant time to visit is Jun–Aug.
