Description

Uncover Luxembourg's medieval allure, exploring UNESCO-listed old town treasures, from grand squares to Notre-Dame Cathedral. Join us for a captivating journey!
Luxembourg is famous for its medieval fortified old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site at the shores of the River Alzette. Follow us through the winding alleyways to discover the secrets of the city and be surprised by the grand squares, churches and palaces on every corner. Be sure to admire a mixture of styles that range from the gothic, renaissance and baroque architecture. Like the monument of Dicks and Lentz, dedicated to the two national poets by the same name and who wrote the anthem of Luxembourg. Pass the Grand Rue, one of the most luxurious venues in the Ville Haute, the old town of Luxembourg. Get entangled in the “knot”, or Knuedler, the name by which the Place Guillaume II square is known. It is a reference to the knot in the rope belt worn by Franciscan friars who lived in a monastery in this square until the French Revolutionary Wars. The monastery was torn down to construct the city hall, and the square was crowned by the equestrian statue of Duke William II. Let us marvel at the façade of the Jesuit-built Notre-Dame Cathedral, the only cathedral in the country. We will take you on a walk that you will never forget, through the capital of one of the smallest states in Europe. Join us and enjoy the ride!
