Guided tours in Luxembourg city

Luxembourg is a city of myriad faces – not only in the figurative sense. The museums teem with the portraits of the renowned personalities determining the history of the millenary fortress, be it the fortress builder Vauban or the Spanish Governor Peter Ernst von Mansfeld. Faces also moulded the cultural scene, if you merely think of the expressive clown or children’s faces of Joseph Kutter, the most well-known painter of the Grand Duchy.

Whoever strolls across the Old Town, the Gardens or the modern Kirchberg Plateau, will invariably encounter further faces on bust, sculptures or memorial stones: they remind you of Goethe, the writer, Robert Schuman, the “father of Europe” and the merry musicians of the kermesse pageant “Hämmelsmarsch”.

"Hop on- hop off bus" Every guest can follow the visits according to his rhythm and interest and can stay at the different places as long as he wants to. Every 30 minutes you can simply hop on - hop off. The tickets are valid for 24 hours. The onboard-audio equipment is giving comments of the different sights in 8 different languages through head-phones. Even the newer quarters of our little city are part of the sightseeing tour like the Kirchberg, with is variety of different architectonical buildings. Petrusse Express Since 1987 tourists as well as the Luxembourgish are happy to see the sightseeing train ´Petrusse Express´.

High plains with extensive fields, slate rocks and steep sloping valleys which display the most glorious colours in autumn and are strewn with gorse in spring: that is the view which can be expected from the Luxembourg Ardennes. All around the “Nordstad”, the gateway to the Ardennes, with the towns and villages along the Sûre, the Wark and the Alzette, the hiker discovers the unique interplay between geology and nature alongside culture and history. Numerous castles and palaces transport you to another world. The Luxembourg Ardennes: also the region of nature parks, of the lake of the Upper-Sûre and of the Our valley.

This extremely varied area, from the “Nordstad” (Diekirch, Ettelbruck) region of the Luxembourg Ardennes, also called “Oesling“, poses a rare challenge for nature lovers, mountain bikers, Nordic walkers and above all for ramblers. With its numerous well-signposted local, national and international rambling paths, it can justifiably be called a true ramblers’ paradise.

And the numerous restaurants and cafés offer both regional and international specialities. Appealing,  unrestricted and stress-free – the Moselle valley stimulates the senses, connects people of different nationalities and enables you to switch off from everyday life.

Most appealing of all are the vintage quality Moselle wines, best when accompanying fried fish in one of the renowned restaurants along the picturesque wine village route. The Romans saw it as a unrestricted region covered with vines, influenced by the meanderings of the Moselle. Here, with its inter-connecting bridges, you will find the birthplace of the “Schengen area“. Ambling stress-free along narrow paths and through narrow alleys, or discovering the Mosel area on a boat trip, is more relaxing than travelling on the beaten track.
