Luxembourg

Luxembourg is a compact European destination where a medieval past, green landscapes and a modern financial centre come together. Despite its small size, it offers a varied mix of experiences for leisure and business travellers alike. Luxembourg City, the capital, is known for its UNESCO-listed old quarters, casemates and clifftop fortifications. Other towns add contrast: Esch-sur-Alzette is the country's second city, Echternach sits near the Mullerthal trails on the German border, and Vianden is known for its hilltop castle. Beyond the city, the landscape shifts from the forested Oesling in the north to the sandstone rock formations of the Mullerthal region, often called Little Switzerland, and the vineyard slopes of the Moselle valley in the east. Luxembourg is a major European Union and financial centre, hosting institutions and international events that draw business visitors. Its history as a fortress and Grand Duchy also shapes a distinctive multilingual culture in which Luxembourgish, French, German and English are widely used. Luxembourg Airport and a well-connected road and rail network make journeys across the country and into neighbouring Belgium, France and Germany straightforward, supporting convenient travel between airports, hotels, business districts, event venues and tourist destinations.
