See the three levels of the city. When you are at the Cote d' Eich (it's a street) under the red bridge, there are houses over you, houses at your level and houses under you (down in the Grund). Cars stop at the pedestrian crossings!!!!!!!
Pay a visit to the Luxembourg American Cemetery. The cemetery is one of fourteen permanent World War II cemeteries erected on foreign soil. The site was liberated by the US 5th Armored Division on 10 September 1944 and a temporary military burial ground was established on 29 December 1944. Free use as a permanent burial ground was granted by the Grand Ducal government in perpetuity without charge or taxation. The grave area contains the remains of 5,076 American military Dead, including a woman Army Nurse, who lost their lives in the service of their country. The honored Dead came from the 50 states and the District of Columbia. In 22 instances, two brothers rest side-by-side in adjacent graves. One hundred and one headstones mark the graves of 'Unknowns' whose remains could not be positively identified. White marble shafts surmounted by a Star of David mark the graves of 118 of the...
Luxembourg is a Grand-Duchy. Our Grand-Duc is for the moment Jean but in september his son Henri will take his place! Luxembourg belongs with its 2536km2 to the smalles countries in the world./N->S 82km and E-> W 56km) We have here two parts in our country: the south is called Gutland and the north Ösling (part of the Ardennes and the Eifel)Climate:In Luxembourg we have a continental climate. The difference between our coldest month (january with an average temp. of -0,2 C )and the warmest month July (with an average temp. of 17 C) is about 17C. Even if the country is small the climatical difference between Gutland and Ösling is great because of the difference in high of the two parts.
History and politics:Luxembourg is situated between the Frensh and German culture and was occupied therefor several times in the last five centuries. Germany and France had always opposite interest which lead to several wars and Luxembourg was often involved in their disputes. The years between 963, date when Luxemburg was fonded by Siegfried (and known as Lützelburg) and 1442 were rather calm. The former Earls of Luxembourg, who became Ducs were rather powerfull in the heart of Europe and they tried to make grow their country. Three of them even possessed the crown of the German Empire: Henry VII, Karl IV and his son Wenzel. But in 1443 it was over with the independence and Luxembourg was occupied by the Burgunds under Philipp the Good. 1477 Luxembourg was taken by the Habsbourgs and between 1555 and 1814 it was occupied by the spanish Netherlands, France, Austria and once more by...
Luxembourg is a wonderful little country in the middle of Europe. There are lots of places to see, but if you are only here for a few days you should stick to the city and the village of Vianden. I always miss the good food when I am away
If you first come to vist, you will see, that Luxembourg is a very green country, people are very friendly and the languages used the most are: Luxembourgish, French and German, a lot o people also speak English.My preferred area is around the German border, where you will find a lot of wineyards, not to forget, the big Mosel river on which you can make boat tours When I am away from Luxembourg, I miss a very nice country which I love very much, come and see, and you will understand me
Visit to the U.S. National Cemetery where General George Patton is buried with his troups. Looking with pride over the multitudes of Crosses and Star of David's and not seeing one out of alignment no matter where I stood. Absolutely perfect geometrically. Humbled by the knowledge that these young men and women, (over 10,000), gave their ALL for the country we call home.
A part (10 people) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Luxembourg as well as a luxemburgish bank the 'Banque Générale' work in that building at the corner of the 'Marché aux Herbes' street which is a typical building for the old part of the center....
Avoid the Heroin addicts and alcoholics down by the station.Do pay respect to the US military soldiers at the cemetary and dont forget to visit the German Cemetary about a kilometer away through the woods. 15 000 Dead. Makes you think. As A brit I was deeply moved by both. Peace to all. Fireworks on the Fete Nationale, Cafe Tramways, Live Blues Music at Cafe Um Nickloseck, Autumn in the city and the Grund valley that divides it. The Brittania when England Play.
socialise a little. There are so many people from all over the world with so many stories to tell all squished into a wee little country! You can travel the world in the local pub. Just relaxing whilst watching the people and listening to a brass band in the Place d'Arms
