Dramatic fortress city perched above the Pétrusse gorge
Luxembourg City is one of Europe's wealthiest and smallest capitals, built into dramatic gorges where the Pétrusse and Alzette rivers have carved valleys. The old fortified upper town sits on spires and promontories, the Chemin de la Corniche walk reveals the extent of the defensive walls, and the museums document centuries of conquest and independence. It's expensive, orderly, and perfect for a concentrated day of sightseeing.
