Europe
Luxembourg
Luxembourg combines a UNESCO listed capital city of extraordinary architecture and canyon scenery, beautiful Moselle wine country, the forests and castles of the Ardennes and a cosmopolitan culture shaped by its position at the heart of Europe. Despite its compact size, Luxembourg rewards visitors who explore its diverse landscapes and rich cultural heritage.
Elect's take
"Luxembourg surprised me completely. The capital is one of the most dramatically situated cities in Europe and the combination of castle architecture, river gorges and outstanding dining creates a destination of genuine quality."
Luxembourg City is built across dramatic ravines carved by the Alzette and Pétrusse rivers creating a cityscape of extraordinary variety. The old quarter is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Casemates du Bock, a network of tunnels carved into the rock face, are fascinating. The Moselle Valley produces excellent Riesling and Pinot Gris. The Ardennes offer forested landscapes, medieval castles and excellent outdoor activities.
