Hey this is the best way to...

by shiran_d

Hey this is the best way to see and visit Luxembourg. Winding down from the Bock, the pedestrian promenade known as the Chemin de la Corniche has been called 'Europe's most beautiful balcony'. At its southern base, the Citadelle du St Esprit provides superb panoramas of both the valleys and the Grund, or lower town, a picturesque, cobblestoned quarter that's home to the bulk of the city's meagre nightlife. Just west of the northern end of the Chemin is the Grand Ducal Palace.The city is easily covered on foot. Most of the sights are along the southern rim of the old town, where strollers will also find scores of scenic lookouts and serene parks. Old town is based around two large pedestrian squares, Place d'Armes and Place Guillaume. The city's modern commercial center is across the Pétrusse Valley to the south, connected by two bridges, Pont Adolphe and Pont Passerelle. The Pétrusse and...

by karakal73

Moselle ValleyWine tasting is the obvious attraction of the Moselle Valley, and if you like sweet, fruity whites, then the trip is well worthwhile. The valley's Route du Vin, or Wine Road, begins at Waserbillig and follows the Moselle River south through the wine region's capital at Grevenmacher and beyond to the picturesque villages of Wormeldange, Remich and Schengen.The Cellars of Poll-Fabaire in the hillside village of Wormeldange are worth a visit, as are the larger Caves Bernard-Massard in Grevenmacher and St Martin in Remich. All three are open for tours and tippling from late spring to early fall. Each village celebrates nearly all stages of the wine-making process during the festival season from August through November.The beautiful Moselle River, which marks southern Luxembourg's border with Germany, is known to locals as the 'Wine River'. April through September, its waters...

by karakal73

Müllerthal (Little Switzerland)This region is where Luxembourgers come to play. Centered around the old Christian town of Echternach, in a pocket of woodland northeast of the capital, the area's hiking, cycling and rock climbing also make it one of the most touristed areas in the country. Head west of town to the walking paths, which wind through rocky chasms and waterfalls to Berdorf, 6km (4mi) away, and on to the crumbling remains of Beaufort castle.If you're in Echternach on Whitsunday (the 7th Sunday after Easter), wave your hankies with the locals celebrating the pageant of St Willibrord, Luxembourg's only saint, who lived in town in the 8th century. His mortal remains now lie in a white marble sarcophagus in the town's basilica. Behind the basilica, there's also an interesting Benedictine abbey.To reach Echternach, take the E29 northeast of the capital about 50km (30mi). The town...

by karakal73

ArdennesKnown as the Eisléck or Oesling, the Luxembourg Ardennes are the Grand Duchy's northernmost - and most spectacular - region. Winding valleys, fast-flowing rivers, verdant plateaus and towering castles combine to make the region hugely popular among visitors and residents alike. Of the three main towns, Clervaux is the most accessible, Vianden is the most touristic, and Wiltz ... well, it's very nearby to the hamlet of Esch-sur-Sûre, which attracts a staggering number of visitors solely because of its location.Clervaux has two main sights: its feudal castle, in the town centre, and the turreted Benedictine abbey high in the forest above. The castle houses several exhibits, including Edward Steichen's photography collection, Family of Man. Though it's not much more than a village, Vianden's attractions stack up pretty well in a country this small. Besides the pervasive 9th-century...

by karakal73

Luxembourg CityPerched high on a promontory overlooking the Pétrusse and Alzette Valleys, the Grand Duchy's capital solemnly sits like a thousand-year-old gargoyle. In 963 AD, on a rocky outcrop known as the Bock, Sigefroid, Count of Ardennes, laid the cornerstone of a fortress that would become Luxembourg City. Although Sigefroid's fortress no longer exists - after nine centuries of attacks and occupations, his castle and most of its fortifications were blown up by the townsfolk in the latter half of the 19th century - the views and what little remains of the original structure continue to inspire.Of the fortress' remnants, the labyrinthine casemates are the most impressive to modern visitors. Built in 1644 while the fortress was under Spanish domination, the casemates are a honeycomb of damp chambers and connecting tunnels hewn from the belly of the Bock. Originally 23km (14mi) of...

by violetta

Luxembourg is a mini and very charming state. Its area is approximately 2 600 square kilometers (or nearly 1000 miles). The capital of the Grand Duchy is Luxembourg City or Luxembourg Ville, situates in the southern part of the country. It has a population of 120 000 inhabitants, but I think that this number is less after the working hours, since I have seen how every morning trains from France, Belgium and Germany deliver to the city a huge number of people, that are in a hurry to reach their desks in one of the numerous banks or institutions. In the evenings, though, you might wonder, while taking a walk in the empty streets of the city center, where have all these people so suddenly disappear?Well, everybody says that it is quite financially stimulating to work in Luxembourg, so if you are wondering where to submit your next job application, why don’t you try there?

Before visiting Luxembourg,...

by violetta

Before visiting Luxembourg, you absolutely must take a lesson in history:Allow me brief you on some historical facts that you might have forgotten or perhaps never come across to - Luxembourg, as you would presume, was one of the several hundred kingdoms in Europe. The city soon became a major point on the trade between German Trier and Paris and its defensibility with unique fortifications further enhanced its strategic importance. Later on, Luxembourg was part of the Holy Roman Empire, but in 1354 it has become independent again as a duchy and the first dukes extended their lands up to Limburg in the north and down to Metz in the south. In 1443 Luxembourg passed to the dukes of Burgundy and then, forty years later, to the Habsburgs. In 1814, after the Napoleon occupation, the Congress of Vienna decided to create a Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and though the country remained nominally...

by dinagideon

This pic is one my friend Lynn took. She did a really nice job!!Go and see that view...which is up the hill from the youth hostel... You are standing there, at the park, and the city is laid out before you, and the older part of the city is higher up behind you. Very cool. I wish Washington D.C. was this hilly. Oh, well, sometimes living in a near swamp is good. It really makes places like Luxembourg City even more spectacular...

Just walk around the city... it won't take but part of the day, and you will see incredible architecture and scenery. Walk through the park at the bottom of the fortress walls, in a ravine that runs through the city! I had the wonderful opportunity to have lunch at the Chiggeri Restaurant with my friend Flavie...

by goingplaces

If you are American, or have respect for the American involvement in World War II, I strongly recommend visiting the Luxembourg American Cemetery. It is one of the smallest American war cemeteries outside of the United States and has, I believe, 4000 graves. To walk in from the entrance and see all the crosses and Stars of David...It took my breath away. We didn't pick the nicest of days to visit Luxembourg. We were walking around in the rain and cold when, for about 10 seconds, the rain stopped and the sun came out. Right before my eyes I saw the formation of a double rainbow and snapped a picture before I even realized it. This is one of my favorite pictures of all time.
