Luxembourg Travel Guide: 1,996 reviews and 4,016 photos

Luxembourg is a small landlocked Duchy which boarders French, Belgium & Germany. The countryside of Luxembourg is beautiful with parts of it even being referred to as "Little Swizerland". The country is only 82km from north to south & 57 km wide so does not take too long to get your barings and explore.

Bourscheid Castle

There are many castle here to explore and pretty little villages, plus the capital Luxembourg city is worth a day of your time.

Today Luxembourg is a tax haven and one of the financial capitals of Europe. We found the wealth of this country very obvious when we visited.

Luxembourg City

Luxembourg has been ruled over & conquered by many European countrys over the past 1000 years.

The national language is Letzeburgesch, although there are three official languages of Luxembourg France, German and Letzeburgesch. We spoke French there.

Nice overview of this beautiful country. We are planning to visit, but I guess it will be a rather short visit, so we will stick to Luxembourg City only.

I just came back from Luxembourg (let's see when I'll get around making my own page!) It was better than I expected! I have almost the same photo from Bourscheid! I love your EERIE LUX tip! :)

Luxembourg certainly seems like a great place to wander 'round. Never heard of the Catholic custom with the burning strawman & cross! Would like to visit some of the American WWII cemetaries there! Good page!

My that is a spooky photograph. I really liked what I saw in Luxembourg and I wished that I spent more time there than two days. Very fine page.

Very helpful tips on Luxembourg. I am going there in two weeks and had planned to stay just at the capital. I see I can do much more now.. as a start the Bourscheid castle of course.

I've been to the capital only but it seems next time I should visit Bourscheid as well.
