关裕年guanyunian:“A deep ditch seemed to be the open space here. The streets were the same as those in Belgium, with one building after another. It felt like there were no houses, only shops. However, the streets were clean, and it was still a very developed country.”
DDDDDD宝:“The Grand Ducal Palace is the residence of the supreme ruler of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, located in the center of the old town of Luxembourg.
The Grand Ducal Palace is not far from the Constitution Square, but it is not open at present, so you can only see the exterior ~ It is only open in July and August.
From the exterior, the Grand Ducal Palace has a very exquisite architectural style. Through some windows, you can see that the interior decoration is elegant, unique and grand. Some paintings are really beautiful. Even outside the window, I stopped to appreciate them for a while.”
长脸张少侠:“[Luxembourg Notre Dame Cathedral] Also known as the Church of Our Lady of the Child, it was built between 1613 and 1621 in the famous late Gothic Revival style. It is one of the symbols of Luxembourg, and the Virgin Mary is enshrined inside. In the past, this Renaissance building was not used as a Notre Dame Church, but as a Jesus Church. After the expansion project from 1935 to 1938, three pointed hats were added and it became the Notre Dame Church
Tickets: The church is free
Time: Very mixed, the overall time is 10-17 o'clock
Address: Rue Notre Dame, 2240 Luxembourg
Transportation: Luxembourg is very small and can be reached on foot”
DDDDDD宝:“Luxembourg is really not a place suitable for self-driving [laughing and crying] Because Luxembourg is a natural canyon, most of the roads are very steep... and the attractions are very close to each other on foot, but if you drive, you will have to go around a lot... So when I was looking for the scenic corridor, I went around at least three times before I found it...
Luxembourg gets dark very early in winter, it is pitch black at 6 o'clock... You can only see the night view
I can only say that the beauty of Luxembourg cannot be captured by mobile phones. The scenic corridor is a natural 360-degree viewing platform, known as the most beautiful platform in Europe. Here you can also see the scenery of Luxembourg city from a high place~ It is still worth a look, but you don't need to reserve too much time”
关裕年guanyunian:“Luxembourg is a small country, as if it is on a street in the sky. However, I knew about this country when I was a child. Why? It was the first foreign country name I knew. When I was a child, my family lived in Dongshicao Hutong, Dongcheng District, Beijing. The hutong to the north was Ganmian Hutong. I often went to Zhou Yusan's house with my classmates to play. There was a yard next to his house that was never open, so we always played in the doorway. There was a sign at the door with five Chinese characters and foreign characters engraved on it. It was engraved with "Embassy of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg". Or was it a consulate? So I was deeply impressed and wanted to see this country when I traveled to Europe.”
AnaTravels94:“It’s a nice place to visit, which is also located at the center of the city! I came there in winter, so the Christmas fair was also located there!”
khcc:“Liberty Avenue is the main avenue in Luxembourg and the only way to get to various attractions and the city center. Tram tracks are being built now, and most of the road surface has been dug up. It is estimated that it will take some time to return to normal.”
Opening hours: 09:45-17:00 (admission ends at 17:00)
Lavender and Sun:“The moat was gone by 1800. The tower is the main relic of York Castle. The current stone tower was built by Henry III from 1245 to 1262 and was finally completed in 1313. It is in the shape of four petals and has a wooden top.”
Pedro Zabala Roldán:“Great hotel for a business trip, with meeting rooms and perfeclty located in the European Quartier. In this case, however, I went with my family. Room was fantastic and service impeccable.
Recommend!”
Guest User:“Such a beautiful neighborhood with easy bus access to the city center, and parking is available too. The room was spotless and had a lovely view. I’d definitely recommend staying here!”
Guest User:“The hotel is quite a distance away from the city centre, but the room is very spacious and clean, well worth the additional distance required to get there.”
Guest User:“Very nice hotel, well maintained facilities. Though not located in heart of the city, it’s easy to access by train or flight, especially it’s free for all public transportation in this lovely city.”
Mohammad Sater:“The hotel offer was great in the aspect of price to value ratio, I really liked especially the trip. Com team they are really helpful and understanding I had a booking mistake and they helped me solve it easily. I have never experienced better customers service alway glad to be your customer.”
AndreiOBrien:“The hotel staff where super friendly. The facilities were lovely and it’s located close to the train station. I enjoyed my trip in Luxembourg and stag in the ibis”
NeilJ:“I recently stayed at the Grand Hotel Cravat in Luxembourg, and it was a delightful experience. The hotel beautifully blends historical charm with modern luxury. My spacious room offered stunning city views, and the elegant decor adds to its allure. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, enhancing my stay. Breakfast in the lovely dining room featured a delicious selection of local dishes. Its prime location made it easy to explore nearby attractions. Overall, the Grand Hotel Cravat is a superb choice for anyone looking to experience the charm and elegance of Luxembourg. Highly recommended!”

TheForkUser:“We were welcomed really easily, the service was fast and polite. Everyone in the group liked their dishes and there wasn´t anything to criticize.”
翱翔的大鲨鱼:“Batucada, which has been in business for more than 15 years in the center of Luxembourg, mainly grills meat!
First of all, this long iron fork is full of several large pieces of lamb ribs, each of which is very large. The photo may look okay... but it is actually very thick! It is super refreshing to eat meat. The ingredients can be tasted fresh, and the meat is high quality! Potatoes and vegetables are attached to the lamb ribs, so that the taste will not be too greasy after eating too much meat.
In addition, Feijoada Brasileira is recommended. It is a traditional Brazilian dish, and it can also be said to be the national rice of Brazil. Its food culture is deeply influenced by Portugal. White rice is also the main food of Brazilians. It is combined with black beans to form the famous "Brazilian slave rice". It is said to be a very popular dish...”
大海金国:“When I came to Luxembourg, I ate at the restaurant Food Club. The owner can speak Chinese, German, and English. He is very hospitable. The environment is very good, the transportation is convenient, and there are free parking spaces. You need to contact the front desk in advance. A Red Wine sister who serves is super considerate and enthusiastic. Food Club is unforgettable! If you have the opportunity to go to Luxembourg, you must go and experience it!”
M42***77:“High-end atmosphere, classy, low-key luxury and connotation.
Uninhibited and profound, simple and fashionable international style.
Good taste”
仏谶:“Although Luxembourg's cuisine combines the characteristics of Western cuisines, it also has its own characteristics. Smoked pork with potato and broad bean cream salad is a traditional dish of Luxembourg. There are also black pudding with apple sauce and mashed potatoes, whole fish fried in butter, etc. Just looking at the name makes you salivate.”
Riccardo21:“A few of us happened to be walking to the Grand Ducal Palace, and it was time for lunch, so we saw this restaurant and thought the decoration was great, so we went in. It was a family-style restaurant, the prices were not low, but the food was delicious, hahahaha.”
