Luxembourg: a land of contrasts, a city that connects

Where medieval charm meets modern class, where travellers love exploring historic fortresses, lush countryside, and enjoying the good life in a cosmopolitan and laid-back atmosphere.

Luxembourg

Skylines and river valleys, new buildings on historic foundations, and swathes of green: Luxembourg’s capital is as diverse as its residents, who hail from more than 170 nations. A city that combines international harmony with easy-going hospitality; modern architecture among fortress walls; innovation alongside UNESCO World Heritage.

The Wenzel Walk follows the medieval walls past several gates and towers, crossing locks and bridges in what was once one of Europe’s mightiest fortresses. Wander along the Chemin de la Corniche, down the cobbled streets towards the Grund old town, and meet Melusina, the mermaid by the Alzette river.

Back up town, you can greet the Golden Lady and delve into the Casemates, a maze of criss-crossing underground tunnels carved into the enormous rock. On the pedestrian streets around the Grand Ducal Palace, you can stroll around the main squares and find many restaurants, museums, independent shops and art galleries.

Green wonders and art in urban spaces

The whole country is home to over 60 art and history museums, galleries and cultural heritage spaces,  as well as an array of parks with quirky sculptures and installations.

LUGA – Luxembourg Urban Garden – is one of the most exciting open-air initiatives of the year (from 7 May to 18 October 2025), showcasing how urban landscapes, art, and technology can harmoniously connect with nature, spanning emblematic sites in Luxembourg City and in Ettelbruck.

 

Experience the very heart of Europe

A short, free, bus ride away, and you’ll find yourself on the banks of the meandering river Moselle, surrounded by vineyards and a distinctly relaxed vibe. You can taste locally produced Rieslings and the much-loved Crémant de Luxembourg at several wineries along the Route du Vin, but Schengen would be a choice spot, particularly as 2025 celebrates a special anniversary. This pretty wine village is a place of modern wineries and significant samples of history co-existence, where the historic Schengen Agreement for free movement within Europe was signed forty years ago, on 14 June 1985.

Luxembourg’s other regions are also easily reachable by free public transport. From Guttland, the garden of the capital city, to the red landscapes of the transforming former industrial region Minett in the south, the wild Éislek with its rugged hills, to the rocky cliffs and forests of the Mullerthal.
