"Small in size, but big in castles" Luxembourg by Mahieu

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

I live a 2-hours drive from Luxemburg, and, shame on me, I never visited this country before; I don’t really know why, it just didn’t appeal very much. Until I decided to give it a go. And what a nice surprise it was! Beautiful landscapes and qaint villages, what else do you need? Since the country is very small, you can easily drive from one side to another in a couple of hours. But it would be a shame if you didn’t spend at least a couple of days here.
I only went for a weekend and spent my time driving and walking by the river Sûre, from east to west. A very beautiful region!
I’ll definitely go back to visit some other areas.

Pros and Cons

Pros:beautiful castles, beautiful nature
In a nutshell:a great getaway for a couple of days
