Located in the historic city centre, this narrow passage—only 80 centimetres wide—is known as the most narrow street in the entire city.

Description
The Rue du Carré, stretching for about fifty metres, connects two historic streets of Liège: En Neuvice and Rue du Pont.
With an average width of just 80 centimetres, this alley is unofficially considered the narrowest street in Liège, making it a naturally pedestrian-only passage. Due to its tight width, crossing paths with someone can be quite a challenge.
Dating back to at least the 14th century, the street owes its name to the surname “Carré,” likely belonging to a resident of the street or neighbourhood. Despite its name, it has no connection with Liège’s famous nightlife district.
