The Journey
Casemates du Bock
Delve into the heart of Luxembourg's military past at the Casemates du Bock, a network of underground tunnels carved into the Bock cliff. These fascinating passageways, once sheltering thousands of soldiers and their equipment during sieges, offer a unique glimpse into the city's formidable defenses. Explore the echoing chambers and imagine the strategic importance of this remarkable feat of engineering, a testament to Luxembourg's resilience through centuries of conflict. The views from the cliff are a breathtaking bonus.
St. Michael's Church
Step back in time at St. Michael's Church, one of Luxembourg's oldest religious sites. This Roman Catholic church, with its blend of Romanesque and Baroque styles, stands as a testament to the city's enduring faith and architectural evolution. Admire the serene interior, marked by stained glass windows and a soaring vaulted ceiling. The church offers a peaceful respite from the bustling city, and a touchpoint to experience the spiritual heritage of Luxembourg.
Grand Ducal Palace
Witness the heart of Luxembourg's monarchy at the Grand Ducal Palace, the official residence of the Grand Duke. Although tours are often limited, admire the Palace's stunning Spanish-Moorish facade. If you are lucky, watch the Changing of the Guard ceremony and gain insight into the country's ceremonial traditions and its relationship with its royal family. While much of the palace is restricted to visitors, simply viewing it from the outside is an experience and a chance to learn about Luxembourg's royalty.
Hôtel de Ville (City Hall)
Admire the Neoclassical elegance of Luxembourg City Hall, or Hôtel de Ville, which stands proudly overlooking the Place Guillaume II. Marvel at the building's symmetry and refined architectural details, representative of 19th-century civic design. It's a perfect spot to observe the ebb and flow of city life, and capture the architectural beauty of the city's governing seat. Often, public celebrations and events occur here, providing a lively atmosphere to complement the building's dignified presence.
Cité Judiciaire (Justice Square)
Experience the modern face of Luxembourg at the Cité Judiciaire, a striking contemporary square where the nation's courts convene. This architectural complex showcases a modern approach to civic design, its clean lines and spacious layout reflecting Luxembourg's commitment to progress and justice. While access inside may be restricted, walking through the square and observing the impressive buildings offers a glimpse into the country's legal system and its embrace of modern architecture.
Neumünster Abbey
Descend into the valley and discover Neumünster Abbey, a former Benedictine monastery that has been transformed into a vibrant cultural center. This historic site hosts a diverse range of events, from concerts and exhibitions to theatrical performances and conferences. Explore the abbey's atmospheric courtyards, discover remnants of its monastic past, and experience the lively cultural atmosphere that now animates this historic building. A perfect spot to witness the blend of history and modernity, serenity and excitement.
Melusina Statue
Seek out the shimmering Melusina Statue, a captivating mermaid guarding the Alzette River. According to local legend, Melusina was a water spirit who married Count Siegfried, founder of Luxembourg. Spot the mermaid, and learn a bit of the mythology which binds the locals together. The statue offers a moment of enchantment and a connection to the city's mythical roots.
Passerelle Bridge
Cross the Passerelle Bridge, a picturesque viaduct that once connected the city's fortress to its palace. Enjoy sweeping views of the Pétrusse valley, the old city, and the surrounding landscape. This bridge provides a vital connection between different parts of the city and offers a rewarding vista.
