Small but impressively varied, Luxembourg surprises with its balance of nature, heritage and modernity. Luxembourg City, a UNESCO World Heritage site, reveals a dramatic old town perched on cliffs, striking fortifications, soaring bridges and lively contemporary districts. Cosmopolitan cafés, high-quality museums and well-kept parks sit alongside a charming historic centre — ideal for an elegant, easy city break.
Just outside the capital, the country quickly turns into a nature playground. The Müllerthal, often nicknamed “Little Switzerland”, offers woodland trails, sculpted rock formations and shady gorges. The Moselle Valley appeals to wine lovers with crisp white wines and riverside walks, while the Éislek (Luxembourg Ardennes) brings rolling hills, medieval castles and peaceful villages. With short distances, free public transport nationwide and a strong standard of accommodation, it’s simple to plan a smooth trip that mixes hiking, heritage and relaxed lifestyle.
