Sightseeing, lifestyle, culinary highlights and much more
If you love a relaxed urban lifestyle, openness, diversity and an international vibe; if you long for modern architecture set amid greenery and quiet corners to unwind; and if you want to combine sightseeing, shopping, culture and good food – Luxembourg City has it all.
The capital of Europe’s only Grand Duchy invites you to discover its many levels, and that is not just a figure of speech. Step into the glass-walled Pfaffenthal Panoramic Lift for a 71-metre ride over the Alzette valley and arrive, minutes later, in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed old town. Wander from there to the charming Grund district, stroll along the Corniche – dubbed Europe’s most beautiful balcony – or head to Kirchberg, where the Mudam contemporary art museum and the Philharmonie make bold architectural statements.
Inspiring encounters happen all year round at numerous cultural events – they’re entertaining and cool, yet never overcrowded. And food is always part of the story. Luxembourg’s culinary scene is one of Europe’s most diverse for its size, shaped by a city where people from over 170 nations live and work side by side – something you taste on every street.
Luxembourg is a colourful country with recognisable influences from Europe and all over the world. Yet the nation has its own unique culture and character.
From open air festivals to world-class venues, Luxembourg has a rich tapestry of cultural events and attractions. Impressive backdrops such the city’s fortifications or the towering blast furnaces of Belval add a little something extra.
