See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: urban relief and high housing budget. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Heritage
Vieille ville et casemates du Bock
The old town and the Bock's casemates show Luxembourg in all its verticality, between cliffs, bridges, ramparts and passages dug in the rock. The visit requires a little energy, but it reveals better than any other area how the city was built on its reliefs.
Historical centre
Palais grand-ducal et centre
The Grand-Ducal Palace places Luxembourg's power at the heart of an ancient centre made of neat streets, squares and narrow facades. Even from the outside, the ensemble gives an elegant urban walk, to extend towards the viewpoints and the lower districts.
Cathedral
Cathedrale Notre-Dame
The Cathedrale Notre-Dame Luxembourg combines Gothic verticality, stained glass and atmosphere gathered close to the political center. It is true for the contrast between the animation of the nearby streets and the inner calm, where the proportions read better as they progress slowly.
