Luxembourg is a small country in Western Europe and at just under 1000 square miles in area it’s the second smallest country in the EU. Bordered by Belgium, France and Germany, Luxembourg has picked up traditions from its surrounding countries and combined them to make an interesting place to visit.
Echternach
The town of Echtarnech is Luxembourg’s oldest and it’s located in the far east of the country near the border with Germany. The town was founded when a monastery was built here in the year 698, and the abbey still exists though today it’s a school building. The small museum next door can tell you more about the history of the town.
Elsewhere in the town you’ll find pretty buildings and streets with squares, while 20 minutes walk outside the centre is the remains of a Roman villa.
Vianden
Vianden is another town worth visiting because of its stunning setting on the River Our. This is actually one of the top places to visit for tourists in Luxembourg and is most famous for its magnificent castle that stands on a hill overlooking the town and the river.

Luxembourg City
In comparison to the smaller towns Luxembourg City has numerous attractions to see.

The Grand Ducal Palace is another top site, originating from 1572, while the Cathedral of Notre Dame was started in 1613. The re-built Fort Thungen is also popular and other attractions in Luxembourg City include Adolphe Bridge, and several museums.
