Towards the end of our Viking river cruise from the Swiss Alps to Paris, we toured through Luxembourg and the American Cemetery. Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site atop a gorge cliff. We viewed attractive houses, the Place d’Armes, the Monument of the Millennium and the Grand Ducal Palace. Just outside the city center, the American Cemetery holds more than 5,000 U.S. soldiers buried here after the Battle of the Bulge during the winter of 1945. We saw the grave of General George S. Patton.

Also called “the most beautiful balcony of Europe” (according to the Luxembourg writer Batty Weber), it runs along the Alzette valley on the ramparts - built by the Spaniards and the French in the 17th century - from the Bock Promontory up to the lower part of the Holy Ghost Citadel, the so-called “Rondellen”.

Grund

Reviewed By FranC706 - Fleet, United Kingdom

We visited Luxembourg for the first time with our 22 year old son, who was going to a wedding on Sunday. We had a full day free on Saturday and having spent a comfortable night at Legere hotel we intended getting the bus into the City centre. Sadly it was torrential rain and we took the car and got free parking at Glacis Boulevard de la Foire. We headed on foot to The Grund which was a lovely walk, took a few photos but we could have spent ages there. Amazing views, we took the free lift back, which saved a walk.

The lift gives excellent views over the valley and is a free ride. It takes only about 20 seconds to make the drop and the views are breathtaking.
