I propose to the authorities of Luxembourg to build a second elevator (additional to the one taking you to Grud) to take people from Kirchberg to Beggen where there is a Shell gas station open after hours and providing basic goods for survival :-) Leave a Comment

Climbing up from the river valley to the old city is a testing experience for an old asthmatic like me! Leave a Comment

No real dangers here, but Luxembourg City is NOT for cars, which can be a real problem when access to the country as a whole is best facilitated by car. Note that the police are zealous in the extreme about ticketing - and it is not cheap. Luxembourg City is a maze of narrow one way streets in an otherwise great road system.
Also, while the people are generally friendly, you cannot count on it. If you are looking for directions, don't necessarily expect that the first person you meet will be eager to help. Leave a Comment

This isn't so much a danger, but I think it warrants notice. We were driving through Luxembourg City, turned a corner, and ran into a curb. These curbs extended farther out into the road than the sidewalks, and we did a bit of damage to our rental car. Please, pay attention when driving through the cities!! Leave a Comment

I didn't found any dangerous things. But I think in such a big city you find the same dangers like in Berlin, Paris,London,Rom and so on!

A little on the expensive side, but definitely worth it for a weekend trip. Leave a Comment

I am in Frankfurt today laughing about the "problem" yesterday of accidently getting seperated from my tour when the bus driver sent me off in the wrong direction to join my group. OK not a "cool" thing but what made it worst was when I explained my problem to a pair of patrol officers in a car, the one in charge just laughed and offered no advice or assistance at all, refusing to even take my name in case my group contacted the police for help finding me. The "subordinate officer was stuck with the "offical line" but he did hand me a map and circled it where I was and were I probably should be to catch the bus back to Frankfurt.
Luxembourg needs to work on the attitude of its patrol officers, whether they like Americans or not, they are, or should be. part of the public they are paid to protect even if it is from themselves or their mistakes!!)
I dId encounter some VERY thoughtful, helpful people at the Grand Hotel Cravat near the main "drop off and pick up point". I know very little about their other services but their humanity was certainly OUTSTANDING in this case.
Sadly I don't even have a photo of the Hotel, just it's name and location. When I get home I will try to add a map that will "point" you to them!!
A google search does return a link for them so I have included it below!
"Check them out" tell them you heard about how nice they were when some of the Luxembourg police were LESS than helpful. Yet the one officer certainly put himself at risk for handing me the map that got me to the hotel Leave a Comment

I stopped in Luxembourg for a petrol/bathroom/coffee break. The coffee came from a coffee machine that served it with optional cream and/or sugar. It was delicious! Until I spilled it all over my white pants. The darkest coffee on the lightest pants...only my luck. I'll try not to hold ill will toward Luxembourg.
