One of the most interesting places I have seen is Luxembourg, supposedly one of the richest countries in the world. The people there are very friendly and explained that since Luxembourg is so small that many of the workers live outside the country which results in the high GNP for its residents. Luxembourg is sometimes referred to as the Grand Duchy.

The City Centre


Although it is a small country, it is easy to travel to the three bordering countries Belgium, France and Germany using the Eurail flexi-pass that allows us to travel through several countries in a matter of hours. We can also reach Luxembourg through any of the above countries. It also has its own airlines called LuxAir which has connections to CDG and other major airports in Europe.

Fall is certainly a great time to visit Europe and Luxembourg is no exception. 

Those who love old cathedrals and forts will have a great time in Luxembourg and neighboring countries. To get around the city, we can use taxis or bikes. As in most European countries, you will rarely see any gas guzzlers on the streets. Most people walk or take the bus or train.

The parks in Luxembourg are very enjoyable. The city center is one of the main attractions. Also, there is the Museum of Natural History, Casino Luxembourg, Nationa Museum of Art and History and the Notre Dame Cathedral. The American Cemetery Memorial, Casemates du Bock. Petrusse Express and Palace of the Grand Dukes are also of interest to most travelers.

The currency is Euros and the language spoken is French, English or Luxembourgish(an offshoot of the German language). Street signs are in French; so brush up on your French before you go. Most people I met spoke English too.

Try to spend some time in Luxembourg when you travel to any of its neighboring countries. Here are some more pictures for you:
