It has a wealth of verdant terrain crisscrossed by rivers and strewn with fairy tale hamlets and striking castles. Numerous historical sites are within easy reach of one another, many of which can be pleasantly accessed by bicycle on car-free paths.
The picturesque scenery of the Ardennes is one of the country's best natural attractions. Its lush forests and rolling green hills cover one-third of the nation's landscape. The beauty and tranquility of this region draws many nature and outdoor enthusiasts. The Moselle Valley, famous for its wines, offers a wonderful wine tasting among centuries old wineries tucked in scenic valleys. The town of Vianden, near Germany, is well known for its magnificent castle, built between the 11th and 14th centuries.
The capital, Luxembourg-Ville, commands a stunning seat overlooking the Alzette and Petrusse valleys. It consists of two districts - the enchanting old centre, complete with fortress towers, turrets and meandering, cobblestone streets; and the modern downtown area. UNESCO declared the entire old part of Luxembourg-Ville a World Heritage Site. In contrast, the myriad of new office complexes in the modern district on the Plāteau du Kirchberg testify to Luxembourg's reputation as a major international banking centre. Although small, Luxembourg has a lot to offer in the heart of Europe.
