Luxembourg Referred to as “Little Switzerland”, a blend of picturesque scenery and ancient medieval architecture with spectacular castles scattered all over.

Luxembourg may be one of the smallest countries in the world but it’s also one of the richest. Often referred to as “Little Switzerland”, it’s a charming blend of picturesque scenery and ancient medieval architecture with spectacular castles scattered all over. The countryside is a cyclist’s dream with cycle paths crisscrossing the landscape. Resplendent in forest covered hills, rolling vineyards with delightful wineries, fairytale castles looming over quaint little villages; it’s one of Europe’s best kept secrets.

Visit Luxembourg’s grandest castle – Vianden Castle; perched on a hilltop hovering menacingly over the river below, the surrounding forest just adds to its enchanting perfection. Relax in thermal waters and pamper yourself in the spa town of Mondorf-les-Bains. Head out into the surrounding woodlands for a spot of hiking after being charmed by the pretty medieval town of Echternach or do some wine tasting in the Moselle Valley.

Despite its size, the scenic capital city of Luxembourg is a vibrant and dynamic place. With around 107,000 inhabitants, it has more Michelin-starred restaurants per capita than anywhere else in the world. The city is perched high on steep cliffs with lush green valleys melting into the Alzette and Pétrusse rivers below. Luxembourg City is divided into Upper and Lower regions, connected by several attractive bridges. Highlights of the city include the Wenzel Walk – a cobblestoned walkway that winds around the city’s historic ramparts passing palaces, towers and churches; explore the intriguing Bock Casemates – a honeycombed warren of tunnels cut into the stone cliffs which date back to 1744; observe the majestic Luxembourg Castle and Luxembourg Palace or stroll along the Chemin de la Corniche – a promenade that looks down over the stunning valley below.
