Buses to Luxembourg - Luxembourg attractions and sights - Sightseeing - what to see in Luxembourg

Luxembourg - both the city and the country as a whole - gives the impression of being highly condensed. The capital in particular, with its distinctive topography, seems overly interesting, though in truth, from a tourist's point of view, it is not the first destination that comes to mind for the average tourist from Poland. And perhaps given the prices, prevailing in Luxembourg, it is good that it is not an obvious choice. But one step at a time.

Why is Luxembourg so expensive and when is it not worth going there? The answer may be surprising, but a popular weekend trip to Luxembourg may turn out to be a shot in the foot. It's all due to the fact that in Luxembourg, most of the population is made up of visitors who sit there Monday through Friday, and return home for the weekends to Luxembourg's neighboring Germany, France or Belgium. This practice means that most restaurants in Luxembourg simply close down for the weekends, and the city almost dies out.

Some facts about Luxembourg

Luxembourg is a municipality with city rights, which is also the capital of the country of the same name. It is the financial and administrative center of the country. Moreover, Luxembourg is also home to the Court of Justice of the European Union and several other institutions of the community.

The city was founded in the second half of the tenth century. It was then that Siegfried, descended from a local family, bought from a Benedictine abbey a small castle built on a rock by the former road leading from Trier to Reims. Siegfried built a new castle and today he, Siegfried of course, is recognized as the first Count of Luxembourg.

In the city you will easily find a common language with the "citizens", although these are scarce there. Nevertheless, you will get along in English, German or French.

A curiosity we wrote about at the beginning is the division of Luxembourg into upper and lower. There is an elevator between the upper and lower parts, although most of the sights of interest to you will be found in the higher, older part. This is where the Unesco-listed Old Town is located. And in the Old Town area you can see the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Chemin de la Corniche path, commonly known as Europe's most beautiful balcony, or the Palace of the Grand Dukes.
