What to do and see in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg: The Best Places and Tips
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 wanted to come to see Patton’s burial site. A must for any WWII enthusiast or history buff. Getting here wasn’t the quickest or easiest though. You have to go by bus (#15 is what I took) and at the Käschtewee stop you exit. From there it’s a 10 minute or so walk. There are signs, and it does sometimes seem like you might be going the wrong way (it goes under a major road) but keep walking - you’ll find it! Once inside you will see it’s a quick tour. The cemetery isn’t that large. If you stop in the visitors center you can get a guide. Patton’s burial site is front and center while the rest are in sections A-E. Make note there are some Jewish graves there marked with a Star of David. Be sure to go inside the chapel too.

Was very excited to visit here after Reading about this online. However didn’t even realise I was at the Corniche when actually there. It doesn’t stand out as a balcony yet just a high up street. The views are nice from here but no different from when in the caves. You can’t really avoid the Corniche when visiting Luxembourg as it’s such a small city.

The new glass panoramic elevator of the Pfaffenthal connects the "Pescatore" park located in the upper city centre to the Pfaffenthal area at the bottom of the Alzette Valley.
The ride features fantastic sweeping views (71-metres high) for pedestrians & cyclists alike. Using the elevator is free.

The Luxembourg Philharmonic is 10 minute drive from Luxembourg Train Station. It is located in the Kirchberg plateau. It’s in the same vicinity as MUDAM Luxembourg, Fort Thüngen, Musée Dräi Eechelen (Three Acorns Museum) and Parc des Trois Glands. You can spend a whole day visiting these places.

The Luxembourg Viaduct also know as The Passerelle, is a bridge from City Center to the Quatier Gare. It was the first bridge built, so they call it the old bridge. From behind St. Michael's Church on the bridge overlooking the Corniche, you can get a great view of the viaduct and the Petrusse Valley below.

Some google photos showed this as a beautiful old bridge, but when I visited, it was shrouded for renovation. It's a main roadway to the heart of Luxembourg, from the train station
