On what was probably Brevin’s last off weekend of the season, we trained to Luxembourg, Luxembourg for the night.
We had such a great time and definitely think Luxembourg is an underrated country. It was so beautiful and unique, with its fortress and architecture. If you get the opportunity, go visit Luxembourg city for a night or two (you won’t need more time than that).
About Luxembourg:
- It’s a small European country, surrounded by Belgium, France, and Germany. You can see the influence from these countries in Luxembourg’s language and cuisine.
- One in 15 people are millionaires in Luxembourg.
- Luxembourg is a founding member of the United Nations in 1945 and NATO in 1949.
- The country’s capital, Luxembourg City, is home to about 130,000 of the country’s 640,000 residents. Foreigners make up 70% of the city’s population.
- Public transportation throughout the country is free (which is why our tour guide recommended riding the free tram loop throughout the city to see everything).
Recommendations:
- A free walking tour of the city (like always) via goldentours.lux
- Pfaffenthal Panoramic Elevator (a free glass elevator to see the city)
- Grund: a neighborhood in the valley
- Urban Bar and Restaurant for food and drinks
- Amore for brunch
