Visé is a municipality and city located on the river Meuse, in the Walloon province of Liège.
The municipality consists of the former municipalities of Visé, Lanaye, Lixhe, Richelle, Argenteau, and Cheratte.
In the north-east (on the eastern bank of the Meuse river) the area of the municipality extends up to the village of Moelingen in the Limburgian municipality of Voeren, while in the north-west (on the western bank of the Meuse river) it extends up to the border between Belgium and the Netherlands (on the other side of which the Dutch municipality of Maastricht is situated).
The city of Visé is located at a distance of some 20 km (12.4 miles) north-east of the Belgian city of Liège and of some 15 km (9.3 miles) south of the most southern Dutch city of Maastricht.
Apart from the Meuse River, another waterway, the Albert Canal, passes through this town.
Mineralisation in Dinantian limestone.
