MNHM National Museum of Military History

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 the best and largest museum I have ever visited specialized on World War II. you can see and touch the heavy vehicles used in World War II. military tanks, automobiles, artillery. rifles, machine guns, knives, foods, equipment, medallions...there are some exhibitions showing the daily life of soldiers, you can spend whole day here. i certainly recommend this museum if you are nearby in Luxembourg. you will not regret it.

Vianden Castle

Reviewed By DanW440 - Portland, United States

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.

Altstadt Vianden.

Reviewed By Companion765699 - Utrecht, The Netherlands

The old town of Vianden is a must-do when in Luxembourg. Cobblestone streets, some nice shops, the views on the surrounding hilly landscapes, the castle and the river, it's all nice and cozy. You won't be disappointed.

One of the Europe Quality Trails, the Escapardenne does not disappoint! I did this one in September 2019 and absolutely loved the scenery, the well-maintained paths and amazing journey!

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.

Bourscheid Castle

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!

General Patton Memorial Museum

Two floors give a remarkably in-depth view of the occupation of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg during WWII and the special place General George S. Patton holds in the hearts of the inhabitants. Original artifacts, uniforms, weaponry etc. abound and show the fact that Ettelbruck was liberated twice, the second time in December 1944 by General Patton's Third Army.

Reviewed By PhiladelphiaPhillip - Philadelphia, United States

We heard about this museum and decided to take a slight detour to visit it. Not at all disappointed. Organized chronologically from the occupation to the resistance to the liberation, it is a great glimpse into what the occupation and war in Luxembourg was like. Not just about Patton, this also features some of the local heros and the resistance as well. Definitely worth the visit and very poignant at this time in the world.

Vianden Chairlift

Reviewed By michellebC2953WG - Rotterdam, The Netherlands

The view is amazing, but be ware: from the finish of the chair lift to the castle is a ten minute walk/climb which isn't for elderly or people with health problems.
