Discovered Luxembourg city on foot today in its own way. That means walking from high to low and back again. Good for the calves and condition.
Pont Adolphe, the first thing you notice. Also walk over the gallery that hangs just below. Continue on the glass elevator down to Grund, the lower older part of town. Walking past the palace …

Our first visit - the first flying visit to Luxembourg ....

Impossible to leave a proper comment here - the city is just too eclectic, awe-inspiring, intriguing and complicated (at least for us "unknowing ones").

To get to know each other for the first time, we tested the new Komoot function and had tour suggestions displayed - in this case …

We started our somewhat haphazard tour of Luxembourg from the main train station. How can you describe this beautiful city to outsiders? Lots of stairs and uphill and downhill passages with pompous architecture. The upper town was built on a rock while the lower town is located in the gorge. One day is not nearly enough to explore this relatively …
