Luxembourg in 48 hours

Once you made yourself comfortable at your hotel in the late afternoon, go for a stroll across the old town at Place d’Armes and the Grand Duke’s Palace. There are in fact numerous choices that won’t leave you disappointed to find a good restaurant. Two of the pizzerias that stand out in uptown are Onesto or Bacchus next to the ‘chambre des députés’. After dinner, either go to the ‘Corniche’ to admire the view onto the city at night time or if you are ready to explore the nightlife, the area around the Palace and GoTen is the way forward. The nightlife in the city starts later after a relaxed dinner with friends and things start to heat up from 11pm onwards.

Once back at Rue de Chimey (close to the Golden Lady) strengthen yourself at La Soupe and get a tasty and equally healthy meal of fresh soup (it’s tasty!) before doing some shopping. There are in fact a surprising number of intriguing and cool shops located in the Grand Rue, the Rue Philippe II as well as it’s adjacent streets which make for a great place to find a gift for your loved ones. All of these are located uptown and of course there are many other options such as in the avenue de la Liberty or the avenue de la Gare, closer to the train station.

a) Dinner

The capital of one of the world’s smallest countries is a vibrant, dynamic city nestled within a romantic, peaceful countryside that gives it plenty of natural space to breathe. The city is a modern, open and friendly place that has embraced the opportunities of high-tech life without losing its soul. Home to a number of EU institutions, Luxembourg is a capital with a human dimension. It is an international hub – people from 150 different countries now call it home – where major global corporate names have come to take advantage of cutting-edge technological expertise. Luxembourg has twice been honored as European Capital of Culture and it buzzes with artistic creativity such as the music, dance and theatre performances. Its ancient fortresses, dating from the 9th century, still remain and are now protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.’
