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.

I paid a visit with my wife to the tramway museum in Luxembourg City one Sunday afternoon recently. However,being a visitor to Luxembourg I was unsure of quite how to get to the museum,so I cheated and I hired a taxi from the city centre at the Gare Centrale costing 11 euros which took less than ten minutes to take us to the tramway museum. Returning to the city centre later from the museum,we were advised to catch the bus back from the bus stop at Bouillon (we travelled back by a No.1 bus) which is about a five minute walk away from the museum which worked well for us,but I'd suggest that you do ask for directions to the bus stop before leaving the museum if you're unsure of the area as it is a quiet part of town and there were very few people to ask directions from in the street when we did this. The museum is well worth a visit should you be a transport enthusiast,or should you be seeking an interesting attraction to occupy and entertain your children, and once you've arrived at the tram museum you'll find an interesting display of old trams all of which had been wonderfully preserved,together with many exhibits ranging from models in their display cabinets to exhibits of ancient electrical equipment and signs and so on . .. In fact if it's to do with trams - it's there! Admission is free,and the curator on duty kindly took all the visitors present including ourselves on a short ride in a old tram in the yard outside the museum which was most enjoyable and a great experience too. I feel that you need to be a transport enthusiast to enjoy the museum to the full which I certainly did, but my wife who I cannot reasonably expect to be interested in public transport surprised me by saying on the way back to our hotel that she had enjoyed Luxumbourg's tramway museum very much indeed. In my opinion it's recommended,especially if you're interested in transport, but do check before you go as it's not open every day. Do take your wife along with the kids, you may well be pleasantly surprised just as I was!

This museum gives a good overview of the banking system and how things have changed over the years in terms of technology etc. It's free to enter and a good way to spend an hour if you're in the area.
