What to do and see in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg District: The Best Free Things to do
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.

Last minute activity at the end of our holiday, and I’m so glad we went! The exhibition/gallery was free of charge and showcased great pieces of work. Even if you don’t enjoy art museums or galleries you will enjoy and appreciate the art work on display. Defo recommend if you have an hour or two to spare!

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.

During my visit to Grund, there was no missing how much this building serves as a magnet for the community. Several events were in full swing and the whole space was buzzing with locals (with a few tourists like me amongst them). The building itself is hugely impressive, but despite its imposing size, it didn't feel cold and impersonal.
