Places to Visit in Luxembourg
Luxembourg is full of interesting tourist places combining modern and ancient architecture and picturesque nature. Let's find out which places you should visit.
Old Quarter
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Luxembourg's Old Quarter is the perfect place to start exploring this fascinating country and its capital. The city center was once surrounded by fortified walls, which earned it the nickname "Gibraltar of the North." However, these walls were torn down in the late 19th century, and today, tree-lined cobbled streets, lush parks, and gardens remain.
Notre Dame Cathedral
Built in the 17th century by Jesuit priests, Notre Dame Cathedral in Luxembourg is considered one of Luxembourg's main attractions. One of the characteristic features of this ancient building is the Baroque north gate, covered with beautiful stained glass dating back to the 19th and 20th centuries. Inside, you will find many modern sculptures and a miniature version of the famous "Madonna and Jesus" statue, which is located above the altar.
National Museum of History and Art
One of the best is the National Museum of History and Art, located in the fish market in the center of the Old Town. You will find a vast collection of exhibits, including ancient tools, coins, weapons, historical documents, and photographs. Most artworks in the museum date back to the Gallo-Roman era and tell a centuries-old story. The entrance fee is 7 euros.
Bock Rock
The Bock Cliff in Luxembourg is known for its fortifications and ancient cannons. It is here that you can explore the Casemates, which are a series of underground passages. The construction of these fantastic tunnels can be considered an engineering feat since they are 21 kilometers long and dug into solid rock. The entrance fee is 10 euros.
Adolphe Bridge
This is one of the most famous landmarks of Luxembourg - images of the bridge can be found in many tourist photos and postcards in local souvenir shops. The bridge continues the Royal Boulevard and connects the Upper and Lower Towns. The boulevard offers a picturesque panorama of this structure.
