Things to Do  

Historic City Center

Historic City Center, Luxembourg

 37 Reviews  Although Luxembourg's Vielle Ville is not really so very old there are some interesting architectural twirls, turrets and twiddles. It's worth keeping an eye open as you wander round...make sure you look up. I particularly liked the way some older houses had their date of construction in huge metal... 

Grand Ducal Palace

Grand Ducal Palace, Luxembourg

 22 Reviews  Walking through downtown Luxembourg City we were completely unaware what we were looking at when we arrrived at the Grand Ducal Palace. The palace is not set back from the street and aside from its size, the presence of guards out front, and the flags flying from the roof it is sometimes mistaken... 

Walking around

Walking around, Luxembourg

 35 Reviews  ...but you will have to search for them. Luxembourg's buildings mainly date from the late 1600s/1700s. By 'older bits' I mean before that time. Luxembourg most certainly existed then, but there is very little to show for it. One of the most atmospheric parts I came across was a little street near... 

Cathedral Notre Dame

Cathedral Notre Dame, Luxembourg

 25 Reviews  I did like the Cathedrale Notre Dame (dating originally from 1613) even though my guidebook was extremely derisory of its architecture. I liked the huge Art Deco columns (1930s, apparently), and the (modern) stained-glass, and especially the hugely twiddly Baroque gallery (1622): lots of angels and... 

Monuments

Monuments, Luxembourg

 12 Reviews  Michele Rodange was a Luxembourg writer and poet, born in Waldbillig, whose most famous work is 'Renert the Fox' (1872). I rather liked this memorial fountain in his name...especially the fox on the top. There's a bronze portrait plaque as well as a useful 'eau potable' (drinking water) sign. I... 

Bridges

Bridges, Luxembourg

 12 Reviews  A wonder of its time, the Aldophe Bridge had the greatest stone arch span in the world when it was built in 1903. Connecting the old town in Haute Ville with the train station in Gare, it has become a busy four lane throroughfare, but it also has two footpaths which offers breathtaking views across...

Sofitel Luxembourg

 1 Review and 116 Opinions  The Sofitel is definetly an very well managed, clean place with a friendly staff and delicious food.... 

Hotel Le Royal Luxembourg

 2 Reviews and 154 Opinions  Over-all excellent hotel with fantastic service. Beautiful rooms and good location. There is an...

Areas full of restaurants

Areas full of restaurants, Luxembourg

 7 Reviews  Had dinner here (solo) on Thursday 29 Oct, passing by with no prior reservation but attracted by the excellent-looking ambiance inside. Was cordially received and seated within 5 minutes. The place looked mainly like a fondue and raclette restaurant and was pretty full with families and groups... 

Pubs and Bar-Food

Pubs and Bar-Food, Luxembourg

 7 Reviews  We were treated horribly by the staff at this cafĂ©. We went there for breakfast - apparently one does not ask for croissants for breakfast at this place. And if you don't remember to order everything at the same time, the server will refuse to bring you anything else - because he already typed it in... 

Nightlife  

Pubs and Cafes

Pubs and Cafes, Luxembourg

 10 Reviews  Early in the evening, The Tube frequently offers lots of the sports games to be played on the television. As the night goes on, it turns more into a club with dance music and a more lively crowd. It is not a big place, and the long arched ceiling easily reminds you where the place got its name. The... 

Dancing

Dancing, Luxembourg

 10 Reviews  The Didjeridoo is a real disco, with a very special atmosphere. It is located in an old fabric-hall, and open three days a week. I think it is a nice place to go, if you like discos. WHAT A PITY!!!! This fabulous place has closed its doors forever. There is no didj anymore. Luxembourg has lost its... 

Transportation  

Take the train

Take the train, Luxembourg

 15 Reviews  Luxembourg has good rail links, including to adjoining countries. So, for example, it is extremely easy to make a visit to Trier (for its Roman remains, perhaps?) or to Metz (for its excellent museum)...and any number of other places, inside and outside Luxembourg itself. Luxembourg's railway... 

Ride the bus

Ride the bus, Luxembourg

 9 Reviews  I already knew that there was a regular and frequent bus service from Findel airport to the city, with a stop at Luxembourg railway station (Gare)....bus 16. I hadn't realised quite how regular (every 10 minutes during the day) or how efficient (large 'bendy' buses used at busy times) it would...

Nice Tips

Nice Tips, Luxembourg

 3 Reviews  Yeah, it is special one, always closed one :) maybe I had unlucky but since I entered the duty free zone, they closed till I could enter... there is saying that alcohol is very cheap here but I am not that interested in that. 

Tiny Things in Tiny Places

Tiny Things in Tiny Places, Luxembourg

 2 Reviews  This tip is unnecessary for female VT's, because I think every true woman will find her way thru on this one :-) Luxembourg City's principal shopping areas comprise the Grande Rue and its side streets, the Gare (train station) area, and the Auchan shopping center on Kirchberg. Jewelry and designer...

Typical luxembourgish

Typical luxembourgish, Luxembourg

 13 Reviews  It is not totally true that Luxembourgish isn't a written language, and that french is the most used language. Only the strangers who work in luxembourg (as the French, the Portugise...) speak luxembourgish, and force the luxembourgishspeakers into french. But every one who is born in luxembourg... 

Nice Tips

Nice Tips, Luxembourg

 3 Reviews   Like any other nation, people of Luxembourg are very patriot and love their country and heroes of the nation. There are monuments every where for the people who died fighting for their country everywhere in the city. One which caught my eyes was National Monument of Solidarity.  

Off The Beaten Path  

Churches

Churches, Luxembourg

 8 Reviews  I haven't been able to find anything out about this church, but I wanted to draw attention to it because its interior really surprised me. I came across whilst wandering and decided to have a look inside. The interior is very modern and I've discovered ( I think) that the building itself, despite... 

Outsite the city

Outsite the city, Luxembourg

 7 Reviews  Berdorf is a small town which is situated in the heart of a region known as "Little Switzerland". This area is dominated by a fascinating rocky landscape with forests and small waterfalls as well as little lakes. Coming from Echternach we parked our car in Berdorf and hiked about 2 hours through...

Walking around - sightseeing, Luxembourg

 14 Reviews  The so called Wenzel Circular Walk is a good way to explore Luxembourg's oldest parts in about 2 hours. The walk is named after Wenceslas II Duke of Luxembourg and leads along many historic sights. Among them are the Bock Casemates, the Castle Bridge, the Grund Gate, the Wenzel Wall, the... 

Archtecture

Archtecture, Luxembourg

 4 Reviews  Luxembourg City is no doubt situated in a dramatic physical setting. There are some interesting architectural highlights and some charming streets and hidden spots. You can find good accommodations and decent food and even some good drinking holes. However, I felt that there was something missing...
