Luxembourg City

Description

        

Due to the craving for new experiences in international tourism, Luxembourg stands a good chance to be among the most interesting destinations.The saying “extremes always meet”, comes true in Luxembourg and the amazing multitude of historic monuments and modern sights should make you a friend of the grand-ducal capital-city. Conditioned by history and man, the city of Luxembourg presently prides herself of a host of titles: first and above all, she is a “millennial capital”, a centre of activities with a rich past heritage. Secondly, she is the “city of contrasts”, where modernism alternates with features of bygone times, a “city of bridges” not merely built to master topography and a unique location, but also to link the present and past. She is also a “fortified city”, impregnated with fortifications into its very texture of age-old European history. She was put on the illustrious list of the “UNESCO World Heritage” in December 1994. She is rightly considered as a “European city” where Europe first set out tentatively on its arduous path, where European thinking is omnipresent.In addition, she is situated at the crossroads of Europe, of the great civilisations; thus she aspires towards synthesis. So we have a city of human dimensions, vast green spaces and numerous promenades, all of which contribute to her being called the “green heart of Europe”; in short, Luxembourg, the ultimate difference in international venues.
