About Luxembourg

Why Visit Luxembourg City

One of the most interesting European microstates, petite Luxembourg, boasts a rich history: it had been mentioned in chronicles as early as the 10th century. The capital of the eponymous country attracts interest thanks to its renowned landmarks, the variety of spoken languages, and the fact that it once was considered the safest spot in the world. Let's dot the "I"s.

Any Luxembourg sightseeing tour always includes the astounding Bock Casemates. The long passages inside the rock formations first appeared in the 17th century and have played the role of shelters during the Second World War. It is said that the underground tunnels still connect the casemates with many historical buildings found in Luxembourg.

Another must-see during a Luxembourg trip is the Notre-Dame Cathedral, a stunning architectural highlight of the city. What makes it unique and special? The cathedral is a great example of both the late Gothic and Renaissance architecture.

Being a glorious historical location, Luxembourg City houses many European Union institutions found in Kirchberg, also known as the European Quarter. This place is perfect to plunge into the daily life of the city: a number of business centers and official bodies exteriors also merit attention. Music enthusiasts are always enchanted with the Philharmonie Luxembourg, the notable concert hall where almost 400 musical events are held annually.
