Grand Tour du Luxembourg

Logo Visit Luxembourg

You can visit several of the highlights of the country: sleepy little villages, thriving towns, valleys with palaces and castles, historical parts of the country or the blooming vineyards of the Moselle are just waiting to be visited.

You drive through the north of the country, once devastated by the Ardennes offensive of the Second World War, on the 463-kilometre-long route, as well as through the region in southern Luxembourg that used to be marked by heavy industry.

The Grand Tour du Luxembourg impressively shows how well a country can recover from these changes.

In the Müllerthal and along the Moselle you will discover the fresh nature and meander along serpentines through rugged gorges, and in the Guttland you will drive through slow-paced villages that will allow you to escape from the hustle and bustle and stress of everyday life.

LUXEMBOURG DAY TOUR ITINERARY: 15 Things to Do & Walking Route

LUXEMBOURG DAY TOUR ITINERARY: 15 Things to Do & Walking Route

By continuing to read this article, you agree to double check with the authorities or other concerned entities for the latest updates.

Luxembourg is one of the smallest sovereign states in Europe. But make no mistake: it has one of the the highest GDP per capita and one of the strongest passports in the world.

Its capital, Luxembourg City, is highly developed, but it still retains a countryside vibe, too. It cradles old quarters and several historic structures, earning it a place on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1994.

Although spending at least a few days is ideal, it is possible to see much of what it has to offer on a day trip, especially if your base is in nearby areas in Germany, France or Belgium. The most popular attractions are clustered mostly within the Old Town center.

If you plan on visiting Luxembourg City on a day trip, here’s a list of the best places to visit, arranged itinerary-style. But before we begin, some reminders:

  • These are in chronological order, but feel free to add, remove or switch things up to suit your preferences.
  • This is a sightseeing tour itinerary. But if you wish to enter and explore any of the museums listed here, go ahead. Just make sure you start early to allow more time per stop.
  • You can cover all these on foot either on your own or by joining a free guided walking tour.
  • For more convenience, use Google Maps. Just enter the name of the site and follow directions.
  • The starting and end point for this itinerary is the Luxembourg Central Railway Station.

Now that we got ’em out of the way, let’s start!

WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS GUIDE?

1. La Passerelle (Luxembourg Viaduct)

From the Luxembourg Central Station, you can take a short walk to the Passarelle , also called Luxembourg Viaduct or Old Bridge. It was completed in 1861 and served as a link between the city center and the central railway station.

This 300-meter-long bridge stretches over Pétrusse valley at 45 meters above the valley ground. It features 24 arches and provides a good venue for sightseeing and panoramic views of the city and the ancient walls.

Opening Hours: 24/7 Entrance Fee: FREE

2. Notre Dame Cathedral

video tour du luxembourg

From the Passerelle, walk straight ahead a little bit and you’ll be greeted by the Notre Dame Cathedral , the sole cathedral in Luxembourg. This 17th-century church was originally established by the Jesuits. It was converted into a Catholic church in the 19th century.

The structural design follows the Gothic and Renaissance architectural styles. It features three towers, the statue of Maria Consolatrix Afflictorum (the nation’s patron saint), glass-stained windows, and crypts that serve as the final resting spots for the late Grand Dukes and Grand Duchesses of Luxembourg.

The cathedral is located along Boulevard Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Opening Hours: 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM (Monday – Sunday). Guided tours are available on Staurdays at 11:30 AM. Entrance Fee: FREE

3. Place de la Constitution (Constitution Square)

video tour du luxembourg

Just a short walk from the Notre Dame Cathedral is the Constitution Square , dominated by a towering memorial obelisk with a bronze statue, “Gëlle Fra”, holding a wreath on top of it.

Built in 1923 on the former 17th-century Beck bastion, the monument is called Monument du Souvenir (Monument of Remembrance) in honor of the citizens who voluntarily enlisted and perished during World War I. The square offers a good view of the Pétrusse Valley below and the Adolphe Bridge (New Bridge) beyond.

4. Pont Adolphe (Adolphe Bridge)

Don’t leave the Place de la Constitution without a good look at Pont Adolphe . For this itinerary, because of time constraints, you won’t go near the bridge, only admire it and take photos from this square.

Officially launched in 1903, it was commissioned during the reign of Grand Duke Adolphe. Since then, it has undergone several renovations and additions resulting in today’s double-decked stone arch bridge status.

Its total length is about 153 meters, straddling over a lush park in Pétrusse below and connecting Ville Haute (via Boulevard Royale) and Gare (Avenue de la Liberté). The top deck features a two-lane traffic road and two pedestrian paths, while the lower deck has a two-way bicycle lane that also serves as a pedestrian path. The bridge’s upper deck is expected to accommodate tram tracks in the near future. Both decks provide views of the park and the city, but the upper deck boasts an unobstructed view of the area.

5. Pétrusse Casemates

One of the key attractions beside Place de la Constitution is Pétrusse Casemates . A medieval bastion and fortress ruins in the Pétrusse Valley, it is a testament to the country’s strategic location. During the tumultuous time of conflicts between European nations, the site had been used for military purposes and had been altered many times.

In 1867, the fortress was mandated to be torn down as a sign of Luxembourg’s neutrality based on the agreements in the Treaty of London. It was included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1994, together with the city’s old quarter.

Opening Hours: As of writing, the site is temporarily closed but you can still view it from either Pont Adolphe or Place de la Constitution. Reopening date to be announced. Entrance Fee: €4-6

6. Place D’Armes

Situated three blocks away from Place de la Constitution via Rue Chimay is the busy Place D’Armes .

Established in the 17th century, it was originally meant as a parade ground for the French garrison. It is centrally located in the old town and bordered with lime trees that trace back their roots to the reign of King Louis XIV.

Today, the square is part of the pedestrian-only zone and is surrounded by restaurants and cafés, making it a favorite meeting place for locals and visitors alike. It has become the city’s activity center where flea markets appear every second and fourth Saturday, band performances are staged during summer, and the Christmas market is set up.

video tour du luxembourg

Next to it is the smaller Jan Pallach Square, which is marked by the towering Monument of Dicks and Lentz, a historic structure that pays tribute to the national poets who penned the national anthem.

7. Palais Grand Ducal

From Place D’Armes, cross the Place Guillaume II to get to the Grand Ducal Palace (Palais Grand Ducal).

video tour du luxembourg

Throughout history, this 16th-century palace has always been the seat of power and the official residence of the head of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg. It is also the place where he works and fulfills his duties together with the Grand Duchess and their staff. Official functions are held here and foreign heads of state are welcomed during official visits.

It’s known for its beautiful facade and intricately designed and decorated interior. Guided tours are available in the summer season (July – August) where visitors have access to some parts of the palace.

Opening Hours: You can only access the palace through guided tours in summer, usually July to August, sometimes up to the first week of September. The schedule for the daily guided tours is 9AM to 5PM daily except Wednesdays, which runs from 12PM to 5PM. Entrance Fee: €12 (Adult), €6 (4-12 y/o), FREE (Below 4 y/o). You can get your tickets prior to your visit online or purchase from the Luxembourg City Tourist Office in Place Guillaume II.

8. Luxembourg City History Museum

A short walk from the Palais Grand-Ducal is the Luxembourg City History Museum . Coming from Marché-aux-Herbes Street, you will be welcomed by the museum’s glass facade.

Launched in June 1996, the museum was formed by combining four old townhouses and restoring them to incorporate modern design to the ancient architecture. It showcases permanent and temporary exhibits that relay the history of the city. All six floors display collections that communicate the evolution of the city through important documents, events, people, and things. It also features a spacious glass elevator and ancient cellars.

Opening Hours: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM (Tuesday – Wednesday, Friday – Sunday); 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Thursdays); CLOSED (Mondays) Entrance Fee: €5 (Regular), €3 (Reduced), FREE (Below 21 y/o, PWDs). Free admission every Thursday from 6PM to 8PM.

9. Musée National d’Histoire et d’Art Luxembourg

Head north via Rue du St. Esprit then Ru Large for five minutes and you’ll reach the National Museum of History and Art Luxembourg. Born out of the kindred desire of the locals to promote the city’s history, it preserves and protects historic artifacts and artworks that narrate the history of Luxembourg.

It began to take shape when the ‘Archaeological Society’ was formed in 1845, a few years after the signing of the Treaty of London, marking the nation’s independence. But it’s not until 1946, after World War II, that the museum was able to officially open to the public.

The present structure, facing the Fish Market Square, carries a contemporary architectural design.

Opening Hours: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM (Tuesday – Wednesday, Friday – Sunday); 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Thursdays); CLOSED (Mondays) Entrance Fee: Temporary Exhibitions €7 (Regular), FREE (Below 26 y/o). Free admission for permanent exhibitions and every Thursday from 5PM to 8PM.

10. Tours Vauban (Eich Gate & Bons Malades Gate)

Continue walking north until your reach Eich Gate , one of the Vauban Towers (Tours Vauban). The other is Bons Malades Gate on the other side of the Alzette Valley.

Both towers are located in Pfaffenthal village, one of the oldest districts in the city. Despite its central location, the village exudes a rural vibe with the old and new structures interweaving seamlessly along the verdant valley.

These 17th-century towers — Eich Gate and Bons Malades Gate — were jointly named after its creator, French military engineer Sebastien Le Prestre de Vauban. The towers were part of a defense fort and were meant to delay the attacks of the advancing enemies.

The two towers are linked by a narrow bridge that presents a picturesque view of the river and the valley. You can access the bridge from either tower. If you want to learn more about these towers, there’s a small audiovisual room with a 9-minute video narrating its history at the Bons Malades Gate.

Opening Hours: 10:00 AM – 5:45 PM (Audiovisual Room) Entrance Fee: FREE

11. Pfaffenthal Lift

If you decided to cross the valley all the way to the Bon Malades Gate, head back to the other side and find the Pfaffenthal Lift . You can enter “ Panoramic Elevator of the Pfaffenthal ” on Google Maps for good measure.

Luxembourg’s topography is characterized by gorges, valleys, and plateaus. To make it more accessible and navigable, the city planners saw the need to build cable transport modes to link the elevated parts of the city to both Alzette and Pétrusse valleys. Pfaffenthal Lift, together with Grund Lift and Pfaffenthal-Kirchberg funicular, forms this triad of cable mode of transportation. The construction of the public elevator started in 2009 and officially launched to the public in July 2016.

The towering elevator features an enclosed footbridge with glass panels and flooring at the end of the bridge on the Pfaffenthal side. It connects the historic city center of Ville Haute via Parc Fondation Pescatore bicycle and pedestrian lane to Pfaffenthal Village in Alzette Valley. The footbridge offers a panoramic view of both the city center and the valley, including the road below.

Opening Hours: 6:00 AM – 1:00 AM (Daily). CLOSED for maintenance every first Monday of the month. Entrance Fee: FREE

12. Casemates du Bock

Like Pétrusse Casemates, the Bock Casemates were built during the Spanish reign in the 17th-century. But various rulers throughout its long history benefited from the ingenuity of the defensive system.

video tour du luxembourg

After Luxembourg gained its independence in the 19th century, Bock Casemates (and other fortress ruins) became inaccessible to the public until its reopening in 1933.

Currently, of the 23 kilometers total, only 17 was left but it’s still well-preserved underground. It was included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1994.

Opening Hours: As of writing, the site is temporarily closed. Reopening date to be announced. Entrance Fee: €7 (Adult), €6 (Senior and Student), €3.50 (4-12 y/o), FREE (Below 4 y/o)

13. Chemin de la Corniche

video tour du luxembourg

Just a few meters walk from Casemates du Bock, Chemin de la Corniche is said to be the best observation deck in the country, boasting a panoramic view of the Alzette Valley, the Grund, and the river canyons below.

The whole length of the footpath covers the ramparts from the Bock Casemates to the Citadel of the Holy Spirit along the Alzette Valley.

Despite its central location and proximity to the city center, the Grund strongly gives off a rural vibe. Tucked below the city center, the Grund is one of the oldest districts and is famed for its medieval structures, green spaces, and absence of tall modern buildings, magnifying the countryside feel. Its hiking trails also attract nature lovers who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city center.

video tour du luxembourg

It is also a popular nightlife spot with restaurants and bars. It boasts two Michelin-starred restaurants — Kamakura and Mosconi.

15. Luxembourg Railway Station (Gare Centrale)

From the Grund district, you will cross La Passerelle again going back to the Luxembourg Railway Station.

This is the main railway station of the capital city; consequently, it’s the hub for the domestic railway network and international railway connections. It links Luxembourg to its neighboring countries France, Germany, and Belgium. While waiting for your train, take the time to appreciate where you are because this is not just a simple train station; it’s also a historic site in itself.

video tour du luxembourg

The very first structure was launched in 1859, but it was reconstructed in 1907 and 1913, following the Moselle Neo-Baroque, a distinctive style of public buildings in Luxembourg. Some of its key features are its clock tower, the entrance hall’s mosaic, and the painted ceiling.

Opening Hours: 5:00 AM – 8:45 PM (Ticket Office), 5:00 AM – 12:00 AM (Waiting Room)

Top Luxembourg Hotels & Apartments

If you’re visiting Luxembourg on a day tour, then you must have a place to stay elsewhere already. But if you change your mind and decide to spend at least a night in this fab city, here are some of the best reviewed properties on Booking.com that are relatively budget-friendly. I say “relatively” because Luxeumbourg in general is on the expensive side of the spectrum.

Please double check the location first before booking.

Sightseeing tours in Luxembourg Walks to explore Luxembourg's history and architecture – and uncover some surprising secrets along the way

The many tourist routes across Luxembourg are a great way to relive the country's history, admire its architecture and find out about its industrial past. The fascinating synergy between old and new and the symbiosis of Luxembourg's urban centres with the natural world create a unique and enchanting blend.

Explore a thousand years of history

Visiting Luxembourg City is like travelling back in time. Luxembourg may be a small country, with a surface area of 2,586km2 and just under 626,000 inhabitants, but it has a rich and complex past, and its capital city sums up European history in a nutshell .

There's no better way to explore Luxembourg's eventful, thousand-year-long history than by walking one of the many sightseeing routes in Luxembourg City:

  • Wenzel Circular Walk

This route takes you on a tour of what is essentially Luxembourg's biggest open-air museum . The starting point for the 5.5km walk is the ruins of the former castle of the Counts of Luxembourg and the adjoining archaeological crypt – the birthplace of the city and the country. In three hours , you will explore the medieval ramparts and the remains of the fortress. Don't miss: the Bock Casemates .

  • Mansfeld Circular Walk

This 4.6km historical walk takes you in and around the district of Clausen , with its many architectural gems dating back to the time of Count Mansfeld, who became a prince in 1517 and was made Governor of the Duchy of Luxembourg (1540) and then of the Netherlands (1590). Follow the 'M' arrows to explore winding lanes, hidden staircases and 19th-century walls. This is a great three-hour tour with some amazing views!

  • Vauban Circular Walk

Are you a fan of military history ? If you are fascinated by the city's last fortifications – how they were built and which parts were most strategically important –, then the Vauban Circular Walk is for you. The walk is named after engineer Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban, who was responsible for the reconstruction work after the fortified city was captured by the French. The work carried out by Vauban earned the city its reputation as an impregnable fortress – it was known as the Gibraltar of the North .

Or maybe you just want to go for a walk that will give you a wonderful panoramic view over Luxembourg City? In that case, head for the Chemin de la Corniche , described as Europe's most beautiful balcony by Luxembourg writer Batty Weber. The walk takes you along the ramparts built in the 17th century by the Spanish and the French, running parallel with the Alzette valley.

UNESCO Tour for All

Did you know that the old quarters and fortifications in Luxembourg City are on the UNESCO World Heritage List ? In addition to the many existing walks and tours , two new audio guides and a brochure for people with specific needs have recently been produced to make this historical site even more accessible:

  • The UNESCO Tour for All on izi.travel is suitable for wheelchairs and prams. The tour was specially designed and tested by groups of people with specific needs. The guide is available in Luxembourgish, French, German, English, Dutch and Portuguese .
  • The UNESCO-Tour für Alle – Leichte Sprache guide uses the same route but with simplified language and sequences filmed in sign language . This tour is only available in German.
  • The UNESCO-Tour für Alle in Leichter Sprache brochure introduces visitors to the UNESCO tour in German in very clear language , using simple phrases to explain complex artefacts and events.

Nature in the city

Luxembourg City is dotted with green spaces that can also be explored on foot.

The walking tour around the Bonnevoie district leads you to the Schläifmillen artists' workshops, which began more than 30 years ago when a group of artists looking for a workspace set up in a disused industrial warehouse. As you walk along the woodland path beside the river Alzette , you will also spot the former gunpowder mill and Polfermille n spinning mill. This is a great walk to find out more about the role of textile manufacturing in the Luxembourg economy in the 19th century and to discover how cottage industries gradually developed into factories along the river's edge to make use of the energy potential of water.

Do you love roses? If so you'll want to check out the RosaLi Circular Walk . As you stroll through the district of Limpertsberg , you will find out about its rich rose-growing heritage, which led to Luxembourg becoming known as Rose Country at the turn of the 20th century.

Admire the country's architectural and artistic gems

If you are a contemporary architecture enthusiast, you will particularly appreciate the 14 tours in the architectour.lu architecture guide. In total, you'll get to see some 278 works of architecture throughout the country.

In Luxembourg City, the Kirchberg Plateau , the European quarter and business hub for Luxembourg's financial centre, is an open-air gallery for contemporary architecture. The station district and the Upper Town are also home to fine examples of Luxembourg City's architectural heritage .

You will be beaming with enthusiasm as you check out the contrasting architectural styles of the city's seven museums. the Museum(s)mile walk is a tour in the form of a smile! We can guarantee that you will be blown away by the diversity and unique nature of each one.

The history of southern Luxembourg is imprinted on the facades of the many protected buildings that make up the architectural heritage of Esch-sur-Alzette . Slip on a comfortable pair of shoes and set out to explore the open-air scenery that tells the history of the 'Forge of the South', a surprising melting-pot of European architecture. Also available as a virtual walk !

Piece together the region's steelmaking past

As you're now in the south of Luxembourg , why not take the opportunity to find out more about the region's steelmaking past ?

The Terres rouges (Red Lands) owe their name to the iron ore that was the key to Luxembourg's successful steel industry from the late 19th century onwards. In recent years, the region has transformed the relics of past industrial success into tourist facilities for the present and the future, with a host of surprising activities on offer.

You can now explore the terrace of the blast furnaces : Explore the Belval site and marvel at the modern architecture of the new buildings contrasting with the industrial heritage. The guide will explain the conception of the quarter and the conservation of the blast furnaces in the context of creating a new urban quarter. The visit culminates at the top of Blast Furnace A, which has been open to visitors since 2014. Climb the staircase alongside the former pressure reactor and read the information about the workings of the industrial plant.​ A breathtaking view awaits you from the top floor!

Emma's Roadmap

The Perfect Luxembourg Itinerary For A Long Weekend

I recently had the chance to spend a long weekend in Luxembourg. You might wonder what there is to see in a country that is so tiny. But tucked away in between its much larger neighboring countries, it is just as – if not more – beautiful!

Think of challenging hikes on the Müllerthal trail, wine tasting at the Moselle River, and cultural city trips in the country’s capital, Luxembourg City, or oldest town, Echternach. This was exactly what my four days in Luxembourg looked like and what I’d also like to share with you!

Let’s get ready for a long weekend in Luxembourg!

Note: this trip was on invitation of Visit Luxembourg (sponsored). However, this blog post contains my honest experiences and opinions.

4 days in Luxembourg itinerary

Day 1: exploring luxembourg city.

Entrance to the old fish market Luxembourg City

The best way to start your visit to Luxembourg is in its capital, Luxembourg City. I spent one day in the city, but you can easily spend a weekend here if you want to see everything. Although there’s a lot to see you can perfectly explore the old town on foot. If you’re staying outside of the historical center you can easily get here by tram. Good to know: public transport in Luxembourg is entirely free!

Start your city visit at Place d’Armes . Here you’ll be amazed by the Cercle Municipal, once the municipal palace and home to the predecessor of the European Union, today a conference and exhibition center. A bit further, you can walk through a covered street to Place Guillaume II , where you’ll also find the tourist office. Don’t hesitate to go in!

From here you can go to Palace Grand Ducal , which is the official residence town of the Grand Duke, and can only be visited in summer. A small covered pathway that used to be a fish market leads you to the national slogan of Luxembourg “Mir wëllen bleiwen wat mir sin” or “we want to stay who we are”. Fun fact, it is said that Goethe once stayed in one of the hotels here. Walk further until you see the Grund, one of Luxembourg City’s oldest neighborhoods in the lower town.

Place d'Armes in Luxembourg City

You have a great view of the Grund from Rocher du Bock . Underneath you’ll find the casemates of Luxembourg, used as a defense system in times of war, and storage room in times of peace. Once it was more than 30 km long, today still 18 km remain. These can be visited at two places: Casemates du Bock & Casemates de la Pétrusse .

Take a turn on the Chemin de la Corniche , also called “the most beautiful balcony of Europe”. The view you get of the lower town is just magnificent! The road ends at the Palace of Justice where you’ll find an elevator connecting the upper and the lower part of the city. Either go down or make your way to Cathedral Notre-Dame de Luxembourg . I found the inside beyond impressive with its many organic shapes which you don’t often find in cathedrals. Also notice the coat of arms of several regions that either are, or used to be part of Luxembourg in the past. And don’t forget to visit its crypts, the last resting place of the former Grand Dukes.

View from Rocher du Bock in Luxembourg City

A bit further you’ll encounter the monument of the Golden Lady , a symbol for the victory during both World Wars, and to remember the soldiers that died while defending their country. Take a look at the Pont Adolphe you can see now and notice how there’s a second bridge for pedestrians & bikers underneath. If you feel like it, have a walk underneath and admire the wonderful view from below. Great pictures guaranteed!

From here, the Panoramic Elevator is the only thing you should absolutely still see. This glass elevator takes you from the upper to the lower village in a quite spectacular way. However, taking the elevator is not a good idea if you’re afraid of heights!

video tour du luxembourg

Of course, many other places are also worth a visit in the city center. I still have a lot of on my bucket list, such as:

  • the red bridge, or officially Pont Grande-Duchesse Charlotte
  • Mudam: Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean
  • Fort Thüngen
  • Parc de la Pétrusse

Hence plenty to discover! This will already be more than sufficient for one day. If you consider spending more time in Luxembourg City, there are definitely lots of things to do! You can find all the places I mentioned in the Google Map below.

During my time in Luxembourg City, I stayed in Hotel Le Châtelet , a charming 3-star hotel with a restaurant at a 20-minute walking distance from the city’s old center. And with the free public transport, you’re there in no time!

Instead of trying out the hotel’s restaurant however, I decided to go for local Luxembourgish cuisine (you should try local dishes while traveling right?) so I had dinner at Um Dierfgen . Although the restaurant itself does not look traditional at all, the dishes served here definitely are!

In my opinion, you can compare Luxembourgish cuisine a lot with German cuisine, including some elements of the Belgian & French kitchen. As my guide told me “it has the quantity of the German kitchen and quality of the French kitchen”. The Kniddelen mat Speck, although very simple, are recommended. So are the Wainzoossis mat Môschterzooss.

Day 2: hiking in the Müllerthal region

After an early breakfast in Luxembourg City it is time to go to the Müllerthal region, known by many for the iconic Müllerthal Trail. This is a 112 km hiking route that passes by some of Luxembourg’s most impressive natural wonders. If you want to hike the entire route it takes you around 6 days, however, if you don’t want to hike 6 days there’s an easier solution. Read on!

In the little village of Berdorf, several hikes start that take you past some of the most beautiful parts of the Müllerthal Trail without having to hike the entire route. The most beautiful one – in my humble opinion – is the B2 trail . This 4.2 km route takes you through gigantic rock formations and detours through small caves. Make sure to stop at the tourist office (at the start of the hike, camping Martbusch) to get a brochure of these detours, which are little pathways on the side of the route that show you beautiful views and rock formations.

Hiking part of Mullerthal Trail in Berdorf

Upon your return (about 2 hours later) go have a snack at Bistro Martbusch , next to the tourist office. Good to know: if you’d like a snack on the way, you can always buy a croissant here, but unfortunately they don’t sell sandwiches. However, for a solid lunch after your hike, you’re in the right place!

Of course, in the afternoon you can start another great hike, such as the E1 route that takes you past the border with Germany to Echternach, the oldest town of Luxembourg. This route is around 13.5 km which takes you at least 4 hours. Great if you’re up for a challenge, but if not I have another suggestion for you.

You might know that Luxembourg also counts many castles. Two of them worth visiting are the Castles of Beaufort . These two castles, one medieval castle and one renaissance castle, are located next to each other and can be visited together. However, the renaissance castle can only be visited through a guided tour, make sure to book this beforehand!

Medieval castle of Beaufort in Luxembourg

Until 2012, a lady (the last descendant after hundreds of years) still lived here, in a castle where the last renovations were made more than 100 years ago. That’s also what makes it incredibly interesting to visit! But not only your eyes, also your mouth will be satisfied. Today, they distill a local liquor in the cellars of the castle, made from local berries. You can try several types of this liquor during your visit! Hint: try the Cassero or the Framboise.

Top tip: get yourself the Luxembourg Card (only €13 per day) which gives you free entrance to many museums and attractions!

After a long day of activities, book yourself a room in B&B Berdorfer Eck and also make a reservation in their restaurant Victoria. I promise you, their cuisine is delicious & the B&B’s breakfast is delightful. Without exaggerating the best dinner and breakfast I had in Luxembourg during my trip. Plus, their rooms are large and comfortable after a long day hiking and exploring.

Room at B&B Berdorfer Eck

Day 3: wine tasting at the Moselle

On day 3, it’s time to visit Echternach if you haven’t already. Only 10 minutes driving from Berdorf, you’re here in the blink of an eye. Convenient right, traveling in such a small country? Park your car at one of the parking spots around the city center and explore everything on foot.

Your first stop should be the tourist information point (as usual right?). Here you can get a free map of the city with all its highlights. As the oldest city of Luxembourg is very small, you can do the entire tour in just one hour.

My personal favourites of the city were the Place du Marché (the main square) which is beyond charming and perfect to have a drink or lunch on one of the terraces, Pavillon Rococo, a charming pavilion surrounded by lush green. (If you’re standing on the stairs you can see Germany on the other side of the river.)

Place du Marché in Echternach

And of course the Basilique, where I was lucky enough to witness a Portuguese baptism. Did you know that Luxembourg has a very large Portuguese community? Almost 15% of the country’s inhabitants are Portuguese.

Unfortunately, the Orangerie was closed, otherwise I’m sure it would have been a lovely visit! A place I didn’t visit but would love to next time is the remains of a Roman villa, just outside the city center.

After your explorations, have lunch at Aal Eechternoach, a charming restaurant/café on the Place du Marché. It was recommended by the tourist office and the menu looked delicious, but I must admit I ate my lunch just next to it, at Café-Brasserie Beim Laange Veit. Why? Because I fancied a little snack and not the elaborate dishes from Aal Eechternoach, even though I’m convinced they must have been great. Anyways, Beim Laange Veit is also a solid option if you prefer a quick snack.

For the second part of the day, I drove to the Moselle region. Within half an hour I arrived in the picturesque village of Ahn. Located on the Moselle river, this village is home to endless wine fields, stunning river views, and countless wineries. The perfect setting to go winetasting!

I was lucky enough to visit the region during Pentecost weekend when many wineries in the Moselle region open their doors to the public for the Wine Taste Enjoy event. If you have the chance, I highly recommend visiting that weekend! But also any other moment of the year, you can go winetasting in many local wineries.

View of Luxembourg village Ahn

Before I lead you into my wine-tasting experience, I must say that I earned that glass of alcohol by… hiking! What’s better than hiking in between the vineyards? In Ahn, you can start the 9 km route called “ Wine and Nature Path Palmberg “. This is one of Luxembourg’s Dream Loops, a selection of high-quality trails. With lots of ups and downs in the landscape your legs will definitely feel that you’re hiking.

Enjoy the view of the fields, picturesque neighboring villages, and Moselle River while you start the hike walking past and through the river Donwerbach. Going up through the fields and past the vineyards you’ll start to feel the height differences. But once you’re on top, it’s time to enjoy the views and give your legs some rest! The highlight of the hike is the view of the village Ahn and the Moselle from above.

Vineyards in the Moselle Region of Luxembourg

Upon your return, you can choose one of the wineries to go tasting. I had some delicious wine at Winery Jeff Konsbrück . They offer regular wine tastings but you can also just hop into their wine bar and have a glass. Very convenient, because from March till August, they are open every Friday, Saturday & Sunday afternoon. Tip: I loved their Crémant Kinnekskummer and Pinot Gris Palmberg.

After a long day, the perfect stop for the night is Hotel Restaurant Casa49 . Their rooms are beyond charming and if you’re lucky, you have a balcony with a Moselle view! I would also like to express my compliments for the nice shower and air conditioning!

Room at Hotel Restaurant Casa49

Day 4: Schengen & surroundings

Only 10 minutes driving from Hotel Casa49 you find the interesting town of Schengen. You might know Schengen from the Schengen agreement, which makes that we don’t have to go through border controls everywhere in Europe. Therefore, it’s an interesting place when you like to learn a bit more about European history.

I recommend starting your visit to Schengen in front of the Centre Européen , a museum about the Schengen Agreement and its significance up until today. Here you can find the flags of all Schengen nations, but also two remaining pieces of the Berlin wall. Reminding us how important it is to have a Europe where we have the freedom to cross borders.

Pieces of the Berlin wall in Schengen

If you don’t feel like visiting a museum, don’t worry! Because Schengen is home to a beautiful hike, called the ‘Schengen Without Borders’ Dream Loop . This 8.5 km hike takes you up Stromberg hill across the border with France. On top, you have an amazing view of the surrounding regions, the cross point between Luxembourg, France and Germany.

I’m not going to lie, the hike is very intense. Starting at the tourist office, the first 2 km are nothing but uphill. However, once you reach a certain height, you can enjoy the wonderful views of the Moselle and the neighboring villages. That does not mean the hike gets easier! You keep on going up and down until the end. But halfway through the hike, you get rewarded for this effort with the most amazing view of the 3 countries.

The view from Stromberg

After the hike, it’s time to treat yourself to another wine tasting! Again, there are several wineries in the region that offer regular wine tastings, but make sure to book these beforehand! On the website of Visit Moselle you can find an overview of all the winegrowers . My recommendation: Domaine Kox . During the Wine Taste Enjoy event, I had a lovely blind wine tasting in the sunny lush garden behind their mansion, tasting 5 different white wines & crémants together with a plate of local cheese and charcuterie. The lady that served me, gave me a very thorough explanation of the different tastes and flavours. Under normal circumstances, they also give regular tours of their wine fields!

After this wonderful day, it was time for me to head home as it’s a whopping 4 hours driving to the Belgian coast. But trust me if I say I would have stayed much longer if I could! There are just so many more wonderful hikes, impressive castles and charming towns to discover. If you want to prolong your stay, have a look at the website of Visit Luxembourg for more inspiration!

Practical info

How to go to luxembourg.

Both your car and the train are excellent options to go to Luxembourg. The roads in Luxembourg are well-maintained and a car gives you the extra flexibility to visit the more remote parts of the country. However, public transport in Luxembourg is free so coming by train to Luxembourg City and traveling around the country by bus or train is also perfectly possible and won’t cost you anything!

How many days in Luxembourg?

The ideal length of time to explore Luxembourg is 4 to 5 days. A weekend will be too short to explore most of the country, unless you only want a city trip to Luxembourg City. A prolonged weekend or midweek of 4 to 5 days gives you the time to discover both Luxembourg’s capital as well as its stunning nature and other charming towns and cities.

What is Luxembourg known for?

Luxembourg is known as one of the smallest countries in Europe with a rich cultural heritage since it has many UNESCO World Heritage Sites listed but also wonderful natural areas to discover, such as the Mullerthal region.

Is Luxembourg worth going to?

Yes, Luxembourg is worth going to! Although it’s a tiny country, there is so much to discover! From a rich history and cultural wonders to magnificent natural rock formations. If you love both culture and nature you’re in the right place!

What is the most beautiful part of Luxembourg?

For me, the most beautiful part of Luxembourg is the Müllerthal region with its incredible rock formations, tiny caves, and challenging hikes. Although the Moselle region comes in second place. With its endless vineyards and romantic river bends, it’s a stunning place to visit!

Charging elephant kills an American woman on 'bucket list trip' in Zambia

An American woman who was on what she had called her "last big trip" was killed when a charging elephant flipped over the car she was traveling in at a national park in Zambia .

The “aggressive” creature buffeted the vehicle carrying six tourists and a guide, tour operator Wilderness said in a statement Tuesday. It said the 79-year-old victim died after Saturday's incident on a game drive at the Kafue National Park in western Zambia.

The company did not name the victim but Rona Wells, her daughter, identified her as Gail Mattson in a post on Facebook. She said her mother died in a “tragic accident while on her dream adventure.”

A video circulating on social media apparently showing the incident shows a large elephant running toward a car, which slows down as the animal approaches its left side. The elephant then flips the vehicle over and the passengers can be heard gasping as the car rolls over.

NBC News does not know the condition or identity of the person who filmed the video.

Photos shared online of the car, which is emblazoned with the logo of the tour operator, show it tipped onto its side after the incident, with a deep dent in two of its side doors.

Wilderness, which describes itself as a “leading conservation and hospitality company” operating in eight African countries, including Zambia, did not respond to NBC News when asked to confirm the authenticity of the video and the photos.

But the tour operator’s CEO, Keith Vincent, said in the statement that the company’s “guides are all extremely well trained and experienced.”

"Sadly in this instance the terrain and vegetation was such that the guide’s route became blocked and he could not move the vehicle out of harm’s way quickly enough,” he added.

Gail Mattson, during a safari in Zambia

Another woman was also injured in the incident and taken to a medical facility in South Africa, the Wilderness statement said, adding that four others were treated for minor injuries.

“It’s extremely rare to see an elephant that irate,” Marlon du Toit, a wildlife photographer and safari guide, told the “TODAY” show Thursday. “Across Africa, there are thousands and thousands of guests on safari on a daily basis with no negative consequences.”

The exact cause of Mattson’s death was unclear, but the company said her body would be repatriated to her family in the United States with the support of local Zambian authorities and the U.S. Embassy in the capital, Lusaka.

“This is a tragic event and we extend our deepest condolences to the family of the guest who died,” the statement added.

NBC News has reached out to Mattson's family for further comment.

Kafue National Park is Zambia’s largest and oldest national park, according to its website, and spans an area of more than 8,000 square miles. Vast regions of the park remain unexplored and the website says it is home to a variety of untamed wildlife.

A 'bucket list trip'

Mattson spent her winters in Sun City West, Arizona, playing bridge and cards, but during the rest of the year, she "travels all over the world," her friend Brenda Biggs told NBC News. Biggs and her husband, John Longabauth, became friends with Mattson when they moved to the area 6 ½ years ago.

Longabauth said Mattson spoke to the couple about her upcoming safari trip about two weeks ago, and called it "one of her bucket list trips." He said she was very excited for the adventure.

Before she left, she gave the couple concert tickets for a show that would happen while she was traveling, telling them to enjoy the concert and "I'll see you when I get back," Longabauth recalled of the conversation.

Biggs said Mattson, who was almost 80 years old, told her that the African safari was her "my last big trip." She said Mattson was "super excited because it was like the culmination of all the trips that she had gone on."

An avid traveler, Mattson took to trips to Europe and Asia, Longabauth recalled, noting that she might have been to South America, too.

Biggs called her friend "flamboyant," "friendly" and "fabulous" and said she loved bright colors. Mattson had taken over Biggs’ job as the event planner for their 200-member bridge club, she said.

"Gail was one of the more up people you'd ever want to meet," Longabauth said. "She was always up. She was always optimistic. She was always seeing the good side of everybody."
