A quick guide to Luxembourg City
Officially called the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, this European country is one of the smallest in the world, but its capital is nothing short of spectacular. The deep cut Alzette and Pétrusse rivers run through the streets, with houses positioned right up to the water’s edge. The towering cliffs are dotted with colourful homes, fascinating forts and amazing castles.
Luxembourg City is full of arts and music venues, delicious traditional restaurants, and welcoming cafés. You may be lucky enough to visit during one of the city’s wide range of festivals. National Day, for example, celebrates the Grand Duke’s birthday in June, and is well worth planning your travels around.
