Luxembourg

About

Discover the history of Luxembourg

Capital of the Grand Duchy, Luxembourg City stands out for its imposing fortifications and UNESCO-listed Old Town, perched on cliffs overlooking the Alzette and Pétrusse valleys. The Corniche path, Bock plateau and casemates testify to a rich military past, while the Kirchberg district reflects the city's European and financial vocation. Museums, the Grand Ducal Palace and cobbled squares are easily discovered on foot, in an atmosphere blending French, German and Luxembourgish influences. Multilingualism and international diversity shape daily life in this compact city. Surrounding hills and vineyards invite excursions from a historic centre where tradition and modernity coexist seamlessly.
