1. MNHM National Museum of Military History
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 373 reviews
First this museum was dedicated to the "Battle of the Bulge" in Luxembourg in winter 1944/45. The key topic of the museum remains the balanced and objective historical representation of the military operations in the Ardennes from the german, american and civilian points of view. Over 3000m2 of exhibition space enable an insight of the dramatic and tragic situations that both, soldiers and civilians, were caught in. Special showrooms feature extensive collections of weapons, uniforms, military equipment of all kind, wheeled- and tracked vehicles, in addition to numerous personal soldier's belongings, photographs, documents and maps. The museum's core is doubtlessly the detailed diorama of the night-time Sauer river crossing at Diekirch on January 18th, 1945. Another part is dedicated to the history of Luxembourg's own armed forces. Other sections are dedicated to Luxembourgers fighting in allied armies in both WWI, WWII, and during the Korean conflict.

This is a very wonderful restored castle with amazing history and full of information, especially if you take the tour with an audio guide (early to download on your iPhone). There are many stairs but otherwise it's an easy tour that takes about 2 hours to complete. There is a gift shop and a nice cafe as well, which are attached to the very informative visitor center. Highly recommend - it has views of the quaint city below.

The exhibition is worth seeing. Photos from all corners of the globe, showing diversity of human life and inevitable common traits. The birth, the death, and everything in between, the joy and sorrow of a human being.

We were surprised to find this medieval castle in Useldange. The rooms are well prepared and have descriptions in several languages , including English. You can climb a tower and have a beautiful view. The review below also gives an excellent atmosphere to the whole location.

See, hear, touch, smell and taste: Discover your 5 senses in a playful, pedagogical and original way in the leisure centre Park Sennesraich. In the "room of the 5 senses" visitors discover the hidden abilities of the human body. On the ground floor the experiments are all about the different sensory perceptions. Water, electricity and power are the themes that are treated on the first floor. Each area is made up of numerous stations that visitors can discover on their own. The outdoor area of the Park Sennesraich, the "garden of the 5 senses", invites visitors to linger and play. Children can use up their energy in the playground or in the multi-sport field, find their way through the labyrinth, test the barefoot path and discover the herb garden.

Reviewed By ChristianH7 - Berlin, Germany
Interesting visit. Restoring wonderfully done with respect for the ancient parts of the building. The friendly service and nice refreshments are very welcome after a climb by foot from the valley. However also reachable by vehicle using the main road. The inside visit costs 7 euro, which is absolutely acceptable considering the work they've done to the former ruins. Chapeaux!
