Luxembourg Luxembourg

Positioned on the brink of two steep gorges, Luxembourg is one of the most physically dramatic capitals in Europe. The country’s rolling landscapes infiltrate the city, and medieval walls and spires share the skyline with thriving international banks and office complexes. The city’s most striking sight is the Bock, the oldest part of the town fortress. A masterpiece of tunnels and storerooms. From the entrance, explore its spiral staircases and catch fantastic views through the loopholes. The streets nearby are the oldest in town. St-Michael’s Church has stones laid in 987. The earliest section of the façade of the Grand Ducal Palace is a splendid example of the Spanish Renaissance style. When you've had enough of the bustling old city, head for parks along the shaded River Pétrusse or, for a change of pace, visit the Portuguese and Italian quarter in the Alzette ravine. You can hear guitars, bands, and choirs in the evening at place d’Armes.
