As a country of short distances, you can easily discover the varied landscapes of Luxembourg’s capital and five regions. With lots of Leading Quality Trails, certified as ’Best of Europe’ by the European Ramblers Association, routes are diverse in terrain and in accessibility, with steep climbs and rocky paths for hiking enthusiasts, engaging circuits for families, and attractive routes for people with impaired mobility.
What is humanity? This is the ambitious question The Family of Man exhibition asks. A famous and thought-provoking collection of photographs, it’s a manifesto for peace between people. With 503 pictures by 273 photographers from 68 countries curated by Edward Steichen, it was first displayed at MoMA in New York in 1955 but its permanent home has been at Clervaux Castle since the 1990s.
Once one of Europe’s mightiest fortresses, Luxembourg’s capital is now a wonderful fusion of tradition and modernity. Wander along the Chemin de la Corniche, down the cobbled streets towards the Grund old town, through urban orchards and past Melusina the mermaid by the Alzette river along the way. Around the Grand Ducal Palace, soak up the cosmopolitan atmosphere at the many restaurants, bars, museums, independent shops and art galleries and light up your senses in this city of many charms.
From cosy cafés to starred restaurants – Luxembourg’s food scene is like the country itself: a mosaic of cultures, colours and flavours. The local food scene reflects Luxembourg’s traditions, but also its multicultural influences. Local specialties include kniddelen (flour dumplings) or Rieslingspaschtéit (pastry with meat filling in wine jelly) served in classic brasseries, then round off your foodie adventure with a tasting of the internationally acclaimed wines and Crémant de Luxembourg from the Moselle Valley.
