What to See and Do in Luxembourg, Luxembourg, Luxembourg
The city of Luxembourg may be small but it is never boring. There are spectacular viewpoints and walks to enjoy even in the urban centre. There is a long history, an old town to explore, and museums for a wet day. But there are also modern shops, bars and restaurants. And day trips to rolling countryside, vineyards and historic towns.
