A captivating contrast of old and new, Luxembourg City's past is celebrated by its World Heritage status; its present sway by its position as headquarters for several significant European institutions. Small enough to explore on foot, this compact city offers a wealth of attractions, including dramatic promontory The Bock, underground passages in Petrusse Casemates, Palace of the Grand Dukes and the National Museum. Countless banks on Boulevard Royal, once a fortress moat, hint at the duchy's wealth.

Philharmonie Luxembourg in all it's beauty would have deserved to have been built on top of a mountain, to be seen from far away. At a first glance its more than 800 white columns somehow look like the strings of an exotic instrument which makes the building a true house of music. When you walk around the elliptical foyer and are so lucky to have a clear sky and the sun shining into the foyer from the south you are blessed with the most wonderful shadow-play created by the shadows of the offset columns which surround the foyer in rows of 2 and 3. Walking up the ramp inside the foyer reveals impressive seemingly insurmountable ravines, reminiscent of Vauban's architecture which gave Luxembourg-city some of it's characteristic looks. The acoustic inside is absolutely fabulous. Christian de Portzemparc has really placed a true gem among buildings that do make it stand out, not only because of it pure White color or because of its it's atypical shape but due to their "functional, sterile contemporary ugliness". Do not miss this beauty when in Luxembourg.

Towards the end of our Viking river cruise from the Swiss Alps to Paris, we toured through Luxembourg and the American Cemetery. Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site atop a gorge cliff. We viewed attractive houses, the Place d’Armes, the Monument of the Millennium and the Grand Ducal Palace. Just outside the city center, the American Cemetery holds more than 5,000 U.S. soldiers buried here after the Battle of the Bulge during the winter of 1945. We saw the grave of General George S. Patton.

It starts near Bock Castemates and takes you around all the main historical sites of the city through the gorges and the hills. If you're an avid fan of scenic photographs, then this is the best way to get some beautiful photos of the views this delightful city has to offer.
