Luxembourg, an ancient and charming city, is divided by the Alzette River into two parts: Upper and Lower Luxembourg, leading to numerous bridges connecting these two parts. Among them, two graceful bridges, the Adolphe Bridge and the Grand Duchess Charlotte Bridge, stand out, adding an indescribable picturesqueness to this amazing city.
Attractions and Activities
First of all, it’s worth noting that Luxembourg boasts an impressive fortress, which has preserved many interesting architectural details. This fortress includes walls with embrasures, fortress gates such as the Three Pigeons and the Trèves, as well as long underground passages and casemates. Important elements of this fortress include the Three Acorns towers and the Citadel of the Holy Spirit. Adjacent to the fortress is a park that ends in a cliff, offering breathtaking views of the historic suburb of Bocques and the castle ruins.
Secondly, it’s worth noting the Grand Ducal Palace, which continues to serve as the official residence of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, where he carries out his primary duties as head of state. The palace can only be visited for six weeks a year, in July and August, when the Duke and his family are on vacation. Also recommended are the Refugium of the Trier Abbey of Saint Maximin, the former Jesuit College, the Town Hall, the Church of Saint Michel, the Chapel of Saint Quirinus, the Church of Saint John on the Rock, and the Bastion of the Holy Spirit. Other attractions include the garden of the Spanish viceroy Ernst Mansfeld, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, Notre Dame Cathedral, and historic quarters such as Grohn, Dinselpurt, Closen, Pfaffendael, and the ancient Benedictine monastery of Münster with its Church of Saint John the Baptist.
