Luxembourg is one of Europeâs best-kept secrets. Most people who visit Luxembourg travel through the most popular tourist sites in only a day or two because it isnât a very big country. This small European nation may be only 84km long but rates as one of the worldâs three richest countries.
Although seen as a financial haven, the gem that is the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is not limited to numbered bank accounts! This scenic little country boasts about 500,000 inhabitants. Its central location makes Luxembourg a trilingual country as it has three official languages (French, German and Luxembourgish). With the influence of language comes a lot of cultural influences and unexpected charm. Luxembourg is the capital of the country. Built on a plateau dotted with ravines it looks in the distance like a theater set.
Luxembourgâs booming and rich economy is something for the country to brag about since itâs come along way from World War II. During the war, Luxembourg experienced mass destruction. Many of the museums in Luxembourg pay homage to the history of the war and the countryâs involvement.
The countryâs economic expansion started with steel but is now based particularly on banking and financial services. The capital of Luxembourg, Luxembourg Cityâ, has an ideal picturesque setting to its Unesco-listed historic core. Behind its calm landscape and picturesque scenery, it is seen as a major financial hub and headquarters for European institutions. Its diversity and population makes the city quite a lively place with a lot to do! This is due largely to the ever-growing student population. Be sure to visit Mudam, the museum of modern art, and the awe inspiring Philharmonie concert hall .The city also boasts top culinary achievements as well as the best Italian restaurant outside Italy, Mosconi, in addition to its many other Michelin-starred eateries.
Beyond, youâll rapidly find yourself in rolling part-forested hills where a string of beguiling villages each form attractive huddles beneath medieval castles. Then thereâs all the fun of champagnes and sparkling wines in Moselle wine country and some hiking and outdoor recreational activities to take in the pretty micro-gorges of MĂŒllerthal.
For the fashionistas, Luxembourgâs European charm is filled with ample shopping opportunities. Tourists can head to Grand-Rue and Rue Philippe II which are part of the pedestrian zone. All the famous fashion brands entertain a branch in this area. A few walking blocks away a farmer's market with local and organic produce sets up shop twice a week.
