Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Luxembourg City right now.
In Luxembourg Ville (Luxembourg City), at leisure, you can explore the fortifications, the old cobbled streets, the parks, the cathedral, and the museums and, after shopping, relax in a shaded terrace café, listening to street musicians or a brass band. The city is small enough to be done in a day if you are pressed for time. But if you have a bit more time, you may find quiet little Luxembourg a romantic base for day trips and a lovely place at night, with its illuminated monuments and walls and its inviting public squares.
With its bas-relief of the Countess Ermesinde granting Luxembourg its charter of freedom in 1244, the former municipal building hosts occasional art exhibitions. Admission is always free, but check with the tourist office for event dates and times. A new enclosed glass footbridge links the north side of the building to the Cité complex across Rue Genistre. The latter, a former movie theater, now houses the municipal library.
