Things to do in Luxembourg City
A clifftop capital of fortress walls, deep valleys and European institutions
Why visit Luxembourg City
Luxembourg City sits on a rocky plateau above the deep valleys of the Alzette and Pétrusse rivers. For centuries it was one of Europe's most fought-over fortresses, and the old quarters and fortifications, with the tunnels of the Bock casemates, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Today the Upper Town is home to the Grand Ducal Palace and a compact shopping centre, while lifts and stairways drop to the riverside Grund quarter below. Public transport across the country is free, which makes getting around easy.
Highlights
- The Chemin de la Corniche walkway
- The Bock casemates and fortress remains
- The Grund quarter on the Alzette
- The Grand Ducal Palace
- Views from the Adolphe Bridge
