Vianden Castle (Chateau de Vianden)
JohnnySpangles Says: The Viandenburgers, which is possibly what they are called, have always cherished their non –German status and there was a Battle of Vianden in WWII to prove the point. Although the Allies were a little tardy in helping them out and thus Vianden was the last place in...
JohnnySpangles Says: If you tire of the castle then there’s also a cable-car in Vianden which takes you up to the top of a hill that’s even higher than the one the castle is perched on. One return ride is free with your Luxembourg Card, and that’s about all you’d want unless you’re particularly...
tompt Says: The touristoffice provides several walkingroutes around Vianden. Most of them are in the hills surrounding the town. Through forests and green meadows and always coming back in town. They are signposted with letters. Get a map at the touristoffice to find out the perfect...
StuartDutchman Says: Many people visit Vianden to wander through its hilly, historic streets or as a centre for walking, camping or cycling in the north of Luxembourg. During the summer months, a chairlift operates from the banks of the river in the lower part of the town taking you high above...
StuartDutchman Says: The recently restored castle of Vianden is set spectactularly on the rocks above the town. It has become a museum. The castle was built between the 11th and 14th centuries and became the seat of the counts of Vianden. It was further developed until the 18th century but with...
himalia11 Says: The castle was build between the 11th and 14th century on a hill above the village. It's well restored and very impressive when you see it from the street. Inside, you will find a few furniture, armours, weapons etc. on several floors. It's pretty huge and labyrinthine, but...
fisherbray Says: Situated on a hill overlooking the village, the castle provides an outstanding view of the local area and into Germany. The tour was self paced and we never felt rushed as the castle was not busy at all. Entry price is 5,50€ for adults and 2€ for children.
el_ruso Says: Well, the point to visit Vianden is to see its magnificent castle. It was built in the XI-XII centuries by the counts of Vianden, who lost in the subsequent power struggles to the counts of Luxembourg.The castle laid abandoned for centuries, and a local merchants has sold...
Hôtel "Oranienburg" / Restaurant "Le Châtelain": A very special menu !!!!!!!
hdv63 Says: During the yearly Vianden Nut Festival we wun a prize in a local lottery. It was dinner for two at Restaurant "Le Châtelain" and it was an amazing expirience.... Our dish was:1. Salade Caille - Quail salad2. Potage Potun - Pumpkin soup3. Medaillon Cerf - Deer steak4....
Restaurant Belle Vue: Gastronomic
tompt Says: The restaurant Belle Vue, the restaurant of hotel Belvedere, is absolutely a must try. They serve all kind of gastronic dishes. You can let the chef choose for you up to a 7 course menu. In this 7 course menu we got to small greetings from the kitchen (appetizers) to make it...
el_ruso Says: We had a great luck in finding this place. It is open late unlike most other restaurants in this country. It is very unassuming, but the quality of service and food is magnificent. Food is presented beautifully also. pork medallions with tomato and melted mozzarella
hdv63 Says: After having dinner at Du Pont you can go somewhere else, but of course you can also choose to stay (Or come in later at night when you had dinner at another location).A very pretty pub with a lot of good beers to choose. Often funny music, mostly nice audience and friendly...
el_ruso Says: Luxembourg is a great place to drive. Roads are excellent, landscape is gorgeous, and gasoline is a lot cheaper for some reason than in the nearby countries.To reach Vianden you may either take N7 north past Diekirch. If you are coming from Belgium, take the highway to...
Train and bus from Luxembourg city
leplaya Says: If you don't have a car, don't think that you can't make it to Vianden. It's a little bit of work and requires a bit of timing, but I think that it's worth it. First, take the train from Luxembourg city to Ettelbruck (about 45 min). Then from Ettelbruck, take a bus to...
Museum of caricature and cartoon Vianden
florinbalaban Says: The museum of Caricature and Cartoons presents the history of national and international caricature and the best of nowadays caricature. The museum welcomes an permanent exhibition, the "Salon International de Caricature et Cartoon" of Vianden and temporary exhibitions of...
hdv63 Says: On a Sundau in October is the yearly Vianden Nut Festival. It's a crowded happening, all inhabitants and tourists are in the streets. Eating, drinking, music, it's all there. At this day Vianden is one big market-place where you can get many food and drinks made with nuts,...
The upper reservoir/ bassin supérieur
himalia11 Says: As we just had visited the hydro-electric power station, we were curious to see the reservoirs, which are used to "store" the water until electricity is needed. There's not so much to see, and we only found one place from where you can take a closer look at the lake. There's...
himalia11 Says: A bit outside of Vianden, upstream the Our river, you'll find a hydro-electric power station, managed by SEO (Societe Electrique de l'Our). There's an artifical lake of the Our river with a dam in Vianden and from there, water gets pumped to two upper reservoirs (509 m high)...
yumyum Says: I can recommend taking a walk up and down the Grand-Rue ie the main drag. The street is rather narrow in places, so watch the traffic. You will pass the museums and many restaurants. Also you will see a statue of the justice cross.Across the river you will find the Victor...
RhineRoll Says: Wheelchair access is not very good in these parts of Europe and that pretty much goes for Germany, Luxembourg and Belgium alike with slight advantages for German tourist attractions where you *might* be lucky to find handicap facilities. Belgium is the worst which is a pity...

We came here by car exploring some areas in pretty Luxembourg. The weather was perfect for this trip. Since it was the Easter weekend, Vianden was flooded with day trippers.

A Town, A Castle, A River -- Essentially Europe!
In a small area, Vianden unites many of those qualities people come to Europe for. It is a small, extremely picturesque town in the valley of the river Our near the German border.
