Luxembourg is a tiny country sandwich between France, Germany, and Belgium. Its borders cover just over 2,500 km虏 which puts it at about 2x the size of New York City.

Perched on top of the聽Luxembourg Plateau, Luxembourg city is a gem. It didn鈥檛 take me long to realize that I could have spent 48 hours in Luxembourg City alone. For this trip, one day would have to do. I first walked from my Park Inn Hotel (which is conveniently located next to the bus and train station) across the viaduct to the old town.
