Explore the city of Luxembourg, a European gem located in the heart of the continent, capital of the world's only Grand Duchy and home to major European Union institutions. This fascinating destination blends a rich history of over a thousand years with a vibrant modern life, surrounded by the stunning valleys of the Alzette and Pétrusse rivers, which create its unique two-level geography: the upper and lower city.
During this guided tour of Luxembourg, you'll walk through charming streets and visit monuments that reflect the influence of major European powers that shaped its past: France, Germany, Spain, Austria, and the Netherlands. Known as the "Gibraltar of the North," this fortified city has been coveted for centuries due to its strategic position at the center of Europe.
The tour includes key sites in the old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and helps you understand why Luxembourg has become one of the EU's main administrative capitals. Here you'll find important institutions such as the Court of Justice of the European Union, the Court of Auditors, the European Investment Bank, and the Secretariat of the European Parliament.
Beyond its political relevance, Luxembourg stands out for its high quality of life. From the discovery of iron in the Red Lands in the 19th century to becoming the country with the highest per capita income in the world, this small state impresses with its economic dynamism and living standards.
The itinerary also includes visits to World War II cemeteries, witnesses of the Battle of the Bulge (1944–1945), one of the most significant confrontations on Luxembourgish soil. After the war, American and German soldiers were buried in separate cemeteries, which are now part of the tour.
Those who choose the 6-hour tour will also enjoy a visit to the Grund district, the oldest part of Luxembourg. After walking down to this picturesque area, you’ll stroll through its narrow streets along the Alzette River and hear the legend of Melusina. Return to the upper city is by elevator, completing a unique experience combining history and landscape.
Accompanied by expert local guides, you’ll discover the history, gastronomy, architecture, languages, and customs of a cosmopolitan city where tradition and modernity coexist in perfect harmony.
