Sightseeing in Luxembourg - Cultural Sights 'Must Visit' & 'Must See'

Luxembourg is full of interesting attractions, museums and charming parks. Grand Ducal Palace is, surely, one of major tourist sites of the city. This is a truly beautiful architectural structure. Travelers, who visit the city during July and August, will have a unique opportunity to walk through the corridors of the palace and visit its halls. The reason for this is in the fact that at this time of a year the Grand Duke and his family make a vacation, so the palace becomes fully available to curious travelers.

Among other attractive architectural places of interest are distinguished an old Jesuit college, church of Saint-Michel, which was built in the 10th century, and the town hall. A walk through the garden of Ernst Mansfeld will bring you great pleasure, and fans of unusual excursions should not forget to visit Bock Casemates. During the Second World War the casemates have saved lives of more than thirty thousand people. The majority has been destroyed, so today visitors of the historical complex can see only a couple of those grand buildings that have been built during the war. Royal Park is a great place for walks. The park is visited by thousands of tourists and locals every day.

The library of Jesuits is one more important historical. Until the end of the 18th century the library was the only educational institution in the city. It is worth noting that even nowadays the city doesn’t have its own educational institutions, only several branches of German and French universities. The ancient fish market is not only a place for all kinds of fairs and festivals. This is a real tourist attraction. On the territory of the market you will see an ancient well. Many interesting legends and stories are associated with it. Your walk on Liberty Avenue will be surely very interesting. Beautiful historic buildings that feature various architectural styles can be seen here right at every step. Adolf Bridge is another place that is worth visiting. The bridge is named after the famous Duke. An interesting fact - the Duke of Luxembourg visited the city just a couple of times and even tried to sell the city to France. You will hear interesting stories connected with almost each tourist attraction of the city. This will make your stay in Luxembourg an unforgettable adventure.
