Luxembourg City, the capital
What strikes many visitors to Luxembourg City is the gorge splitting the centre in two. The deep valleys and high cliffs were the area's strength when "Lucilinburhuc" (small castle) was established here in 963. For almost a thousand years, the area housed a fortress that became so strong it was known as "Gibraltar of the North".
Luxembourg City has since forged a new visual identity out of the castle ruins. It built architectural gems such as "Adolphe Bridge", the town hall, "Place d'Armes", the Grand Ducal Palace, Notre-Dame cathedral, places for reflection like the "Gëlle Fra" (golden lady) and romantic riverside gardens in the Grund and city parks.
Today, the city continues to evolve architecturally making it a top tourism destination. In the Old City, you will see abbeys and other buildings that have been transformed into public cultural highlights, not forgetting modern districts like Kirchberg, where you will find the magnificent Modern Art museum Mudam and Philharmonie buildings. With an impressive array of annual events such as the Schueberfouer funfair, there is always something to see in Luxembourg City, no matter what time of year you visit.
