Sightseeing Guide to Luxembourg City's Old Town
Luxembourg, Luxembourg, Luxembourg
"I just visited the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, one of the smallest, yet very diverse countries in Europe, with a capital full of history, Unesco sites, spectacular viewpoints and buzzing neighborhoods, cafés and restaurants, that blew my mind! The Grund is one of the oldest neighborhoods of the city in the lower part of Luxembourg's capital. Perfect to admire the views of Upper Town, with its city walls that are Unesco listed and the beautiful parks surrounding it." Naomi Louwerens, Summer 2022

The historic city centre is extra special due to its division into several layers by the city walls - 70 metre high cliffs!
Luxembourg, Luxembourg, Luxembourg
The 70 meter high cliffs look out on the lower city, lined by the Alzette and Pétrusse rivers and several historic bridges. Although this area has a medieval feel, all houses here are from the 19th or 20th century. Built on the banks of the small Alzette River with a nightlife that is surprisingly vibrant, due to its many restaurants and cozy cafes! Luxembourg’s Old quarters and fortifications have been recognised by UNESCO and it’s easy to see why. With crumbling, thousands of years old walls rubbing up with modern building, spires reaching for the sky and a huge fort dominating the scene – all built around two rivers – this part of Luxembourg makes for an impressive site.

"During the ride up you can enjoy the views on both sides to the Pont Grande Duchesse Charlotte and the historic city center. And when you get to the top don't miss the glass viewing plateau for those Instagrammable shots!" Naomi Louwerens

Once uptown, wander along the Chemin de la Corniche and enjoy more beautiful views in a historic place!
Luxembourg, Luxembourg, Luxembourg
"Certainly called the most beautiful balcony of Europe for good reason, right?! From these high city walls and fortified towers, that guarded the crossing of two Roman roads ages ago, you can now overlook the valley of the city. With Grund, the Alzette river and several historic buildings all laid out in front of you."
