Luxembourg's attractions from underground tunnels to wine tasting

With Luxembourg the attractions are so many, you really don't know from where to begin. The main attractions of the capital, also called Luxembourg, are the old fortifications of the city that have placed Luxembourg on the UNESCO World Heritage List, as well as Casemates, a complex of 17th century underground tunnels that helped to build the unbeatable reputation of the city as a military force. The tunnels are connected to another major Luxembourgian sight, the city castle, which was originally built in the 10th century.

Rich with historical attractions. The Valley of the Seven Castles located along Eisch River just north from the city of Luxembourg is the place to go for more fascinating castles. For more information on Luxembourg's history, visit the National Museum found on Marche-aux-Poissons. It is a showroom of artistic masterpieces from famous artists such as Rembrandt and Rubens.

Wine tasting and sports. Luxembourg is a wine country with not only scenic landscapes of vineyards, but also guided tours and wine tasting widely available. A front row seat into Luxembourg's wine industry is provided in the Moselle Valley, which as a bonus to its many wineries and wine tasting in the Moselle Valley, offers you also beautiful landscapes to be admired for instance in Moselle National Park.

Outside the city of Luxembourg, you can find also excellent possibilities for hiking in Luxembourg, a traditional spa town called Mondorf-les-Bains, as well as resorts for skiing in Luxembourg which, however, operate only a short time of the year.
