It wasn’t too busy in this part of the city and has many interesting old buildings. When we were there the restoration work was happening on the old fortifications.

Vianden Castle

Reviewed By DanW440 - Portland, United States

This is a very wonderful restored castle with amazing history and full of information, especially if you take the tour with an audio guide (early to download on your iPhone). There are many stairs but otherwise it's an easy tour that takes about 2 hours to complete. There is a gift shop and a nice cafe as well, which are attached to the very informative visitor center. Highly recommend - it has views of the quaint city below.

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.

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.

Altstadt Vianden.

Reviewed By Companion765699 - Utrecht, The Netherlands

The old town of Vianden is a must-do when in Luxembourg. Cobblestone streets, some nice shops, the views on the surrounding hilly landscapes, the castle and the river, it's all nice and cozy. You won't be disappointed.
