Luxemburg
is the capital of Grand Duchy of Luxemburg and due to its geography and
strategic location has always had an important historical significance and
political role.
Today the city is the seat of some of the most important
European Organizations and is one of the leading European industrial and
iconomical centers.
Very
close to the city center is located the magnificent Monument de la Solidarite
Nationale. This nice 50 meter high obelisk with a gold statue on the very top
has an impressive history. The statue was lost during the Second World War but
then rediscovered buried into the ground.
This is an
important monument for all to remember, a real testament to bravery and horror
of war. The monument is the starting point for our tour around the city.
Right on
the top of the hill, over steep cliffs and overlooking a narrow valley is
located the city center which reveals the picturesque surroundings and nice
views towards the Alzette and Pétrusse rivers whose confluence is in Luxemburg
City.
The old
city center is a Unesco Heritage site and represents a layout complex of
buildings.
The beautiful gardens are one of our favourite spots in Luxemburg.
They are so amazing at day and at night.
An impressive
church, one of the most beautiful parts of the city. Absolutely amazing with
its unique location.
Not to
be missed is the area close to the river representing old houses, small cafes
and cosy restaurants. A very peaceful and relaxing area.
Another
amazing landmark of the city is the Palace of the Grand Dukes with the guard
posted outside. Like every place in Luxemburg, it is small and charming.
We love
visiting Luxemburg and the delightful walks around the river. It is incredibly
beautiful with its nature and the wonderful people we met here.
