With high-tech buildings running alongside historic monuments, the capital represents a rich tapestry of contrasts and urban experiences. In short: Luxembourg is a modern city with deep roots.

“Sightrunning” = exercise and shared experiences in Luxembourg – it’s as simple as that.

The Chemin de la Corniche is claimed to be “the most beautiful balcony of Europe”, according to the Luxembourg writer Batty Weber. The pathway runs along the Alzette valley on the ramparts - built by the Spaniards and the French in the 17th century - from the Bock Promontory up to the lower part of the Holy Ghost Citadel, the so-called “Rondellen”. Up to the year 1870 the Corniche had staircases in steep parts which were levelled off only after the dismantling of the fortress. The greatest part of the protecting wall with its loopholes was cleared away so as to disclose a superb panorama on the valley of the Alzette, the Grund and the Rham Plateau.
