Luxembourg City

Luxembourg City is built on a knife-edge, its old town clinging to cliffs above deep green gorges.

Tunnels and casemates honeycomb the rock beneath fortress walls that once made this the Gibraltar of the North. Down in the Grund quarter stone houses huddle by a stream while glass banks gleam on the plateau above-old money and new in one small package.

Three languages swirl through the streets of a country you can cross in an afternoon.

Eat smoked pork with broad beans and drink a crisp Riesling from the Moselle just over the hill.
