A little city with a big heart Luxembourg is Europes bestkept secret. The capital of one of the worlds smallest countries is a vibrant, dynamic city nestled within romantic, peaceful countryside that gives it plenty of natural space to breathe. Luxembourgs visitors tend to focus on its rich history but todays city is a modern, open, friendly place that has embraced the opportunities of high-tech life without losing its soul. It is international people from 150 different countries now call it home where major global corporate names have come to take advantage of cutting-edge technological expertise. 21st century connectivity is even visible in the streets with the impressive HotCity WiFi network that brings together its residents, visitors, local businesses and the citys services. Luxembourg also hosts a number of EU institutions and more than 200 nancial institutions in its world-renowned banking and nance sector. It is also a capital with a very human dimension.

popular outdoor festivals throughout the year. Luxembourg has twice been honoured as European Capital of Culture and it buzzes with artistic creativity such as the music, dance and theatre performances at the Grand Thtre and the state-of-the-art Philharmonie. Luxembourgs multilingual character is reected in its variety of exciting stage productions in Luxembourgish, French, German, Dutch and English.

THE CaSTLE VaLLEYS


So many different types of feudal architecture in such close proximity is exceptional: fortresses in Ansembourg-Haut, Hollenfels, Useldange, Schoenfels, Septfontaines, Pettingen, Mersch, Baroque castle in Ansembourg-Bas with French garden and mythological avenue, moated castle in Koerich. Famous personalities such as the counts daughter Yolanda of Vianden, the French author Victor Hugo or the Belgian poet Amlie Picard, have a high regard for the idyllic Eisch valley. The Eisch valley was once a flourishing site for steel production long before the furnaces of the Land of the Red Rocks belched out their smoke. Today nature has recaptured this abandoned area of shacks. But if you look closely you can still discover traces from this time. For example, the numerous caves in which entire miners families lived. On the river banks the vegetation is in parts very natural, almost primeval. Today, the Eisch- and Mamer valleys belong to the largest natural protection zone in Luxembourg. The national hiking trail of the Valley of the Seven Castles follows the intricate Eisch valley for 37 kilometres, past its most important cultural treasures. Away from the main arterial roads the region, with its peaceful country roads and forest tracks, is not only the stamping ground of hikers, but cyclists too. There are more than 200 kilometres of hiking and cycle paths available for energetic visitors. Those who would like to get to know the region better should plan a tour lasting several days, stopping off at one of the small individually-run hotels, at one of the campsites or at the youth hostel at Hollenfels.

The walkable Luxembourg ardennes

High plains with extensive fields, slate rocks and steep sloping valleys which display the most glorious colours in autumn and are strewn with gorse in spring: that is the view which can be expected from the Luxembourg Ardennes. All around the Nordstad, the gateway to the Ardennes, with the towns and villages along the Sre, the Wark and the Alzette, the hiker discovers the unique interplay between geology and nature alongside culture and history. Numerous castles and palaces transport you to another world. The Luxembourg Ardennes: also the region of nature parks, of the lake of the Upper-Sre and of the Our valley. This extremely varied area, from the Nordstad (Diekirch, Ettelbruck) region of the Luxembourg Ardennes, also called Oesling, poses a rare challenge for nature lovers, mountain bikers, Nordic walkers and above all for ramblers. With ith its numerous wellsignposted local, national and international rambling paths, it can justifiably be called a true ramblers paradise.

Panoramic Tour

Kilometre-wide river bends, endless wide, gently undulating high plains covered with lush greenery or yellow rapeseed, views deep inside the steep valleys of the Sauer or the Our, extensive spreads of water on broad mountain ridges. These are the Luxembourg Ardennes, from Weiswampach to Diekirch and Ettelbruck.

The moselle where the wine is king

Appealing, unrestricted and stress-free the Moselle valley stimulates the senses, connects people of different nationalities and enables you to switch off from everyday life. Most appealing of all are the vintage quality Moselle wines, best when accompanying fried fish in one of the renowned restaurants along the picturesque wine village route. The Romans saw it as a unrestricted region covered with vines, influenced by the meanderings of the Moselle. Here, with its inter-connecting bridges, you will find the birthplace of the Schengen area. Ambling stress-free along narrow paths and through narrow alleys, or discovering the Mosel area on a boat trip, is more relaxing than travelling on the beaten track.

Worth seeing

Wine and sparkling wine cellars, the exotic world of a buttery garden, the large aquarium in Wasserbillig, hiking paths in the wine mountains, the A Possen folklore museum in Bech-Kleinmacher or the wine museum in Ehnen, a trip on the luxury passenger boat MS Princesse Marie-Astrid or the new River Diva by Navitours - all these are amongst the highlights of the region. Swimming pools, walking paths, signposted Nordic-Walking slopes, water sports, mountainbiking, cycle paths, golf, the sporting activities on offer in the Moselle are varied. The attractions of the spa town of Mondorfles-Bains include thermal baths, a owered park and a casino.

Nature and landscape

Even 2000 years on, traces can be found of the Romans who planted the rst vines here. Guided walks and thematic trails supply information about history, nature and wine culture. Today, small medieval towns such as Remich and Grevenmacher characterise the region just as much as pretty villages with narrow streets and handsome winegrowers houses. The Haff Rimech nature reserve gives the landscape a particular aura.

Culinary

Sophisticated cuisine has a strong presence in the Luxembourg Moselle. Wine is included amongst the regional specialties, with nely coordinated menus of fried sh, pike or pikeperch to go with it.

Schengen Destination of Excellence

Take a glance at the European Union history at the Schengen Europa Museum in the socalled Moselle village.

Moselle

The wine route


Established in the Moselle valley for thousands of years, the culture of winegrowing in the Grand-Duchy dates back to Roman times. The winegrowing area of the Moselle stretches from Schengen in the south to Wasserbillig in the north, covering an area 42 km long and 300 to 400 meters wide. Along the Wistrooss or Wine Route, visits to picturesque winegrowing villages, tasting sessions in the various cellars and domains, wine festivals, walks through the vineyards, and visits to the wine museum in Ehnen and the museum of folklore in Bech-Kleinmacher will ensure that your days are filled with moments of unending delight.

The wines of the Luxembourg Moselle


Whoever travels through the beautiful country of Luxembourg will nd themselves falling in love with it immediately. In all the picturesque countryside which is to be discovered, the valley of the River Moselle in particular reveals a captivating charm: the silvered course of the beautiful river is edged throughout its length by gentle slopes planted with vines of ever-increasing renown. Begun in this region thousands of years ago, the cultivation of the vine came to experience soaring growth with the arrival of the Romans. The viticulture of Luxembourg, which prompted General de Gaulle to call it the the small country of great wines, does not claim that the role it plays is as important as in other countries. However nobody can contest its obvious effects on the civilisation and on the development of the culture of our regions. The spiritual harvest which we owe to our modest Luxembourg vineyards has found its place in our heritage, and even in our anthem, wou dRief laanscht dMusel dofteg blit (where the vine owers along the Moselle). To cross the Moselle country, to discover the ancient villages with their tortuous streets, perfect evidence of so many pages of history, to be surprised at the same time by spectacular panoramas, this will be to feel even more the desire for life. It will also be an encounter with many expressions of gastronomy and the culinary art. It will be to halt awhile in welcoming restaurants, and to lick ones lips on tasting a friture of small river sh, one of the many Moselle specialities, to appreciate it of course with a bottle of splendid wine. An unforgettable tourist region, the Luxembourg Moselle is a permanent invitation to moments of rejoicing, both of the body and of the mind. Days of tasting in the various cellars and estates, of wine festivals, of walking tours and promenades through the vineyards, of discovering the wine museums in Ehnen and Bech-Kleinmacher, and so many other diversions, will be forever a delight. The Luxembourg Moselle expresses itself above all by the quality white wines made in the region. They come from nine varieties of vine, of which they bear the name. They marry perfectly with gastronomy in general, and the Luxembourg gastronomy in particular.

industrial, architectural and natural patrimony: a surprising destination

industrial culture and shopping The Land of the Red Rocks, previously overwhelmingly industrial in nature, is today incorporated into Luxembourgs urban Shopping Mile. Trendy, funky, young and daring. Thats how you could describe the City Area of the GrandDuchy where international research, culture, trade, services and industry all come together. A melting pot of over 150 nations guarantees an urban lifestyle for adventurers and pleasure-seekers.

Pure industrial culture


For a long time nature has been recapturing its claim to former ore tunnels and furnaces, and the rambler is surrounded by the unexpected mysterious evidence of a lively economic past. The deep red of the iron-ore ground lends its unique aura to the biotope of the sites.

town of Esch-sur-Alzette contribute to the trendy scene in Luxembourg. In contrast to this is the dignied backdrop of the town hall with its historicism and art nouveau which unreservedly reveals its strong pan-European character.

A paradise for children


Crocodiles and snakes, parrots and apes, a petting zoo, re-spitting steam trains and creaking workers wagons in deep mountain tunnels all provide exciting adventures. The Land of the Red Rocks: a particularly family-friendly region.

City-culture par excellence


Shopping in the three-city conglomeration of Dudelange, Esch-sur-Alzette and Differdange is synonymous for good taste. Street theatre, pop and rock festivals and the young ambience in the future university
