From iconic architecture to subterranean defence systems, Luxembourg has landmark attractions for everyone.
Grand Ducal Palace
For over a century, the Grand Ducal Palace has been the official residence of the Grand Duke and the place where he carries out his duties. Located at the heart of the capital, it embodies the closeness between the grand ducal family of Luxembourg and the country’s population.
Place d’Armes
Also named ‘Parlour of the City’, Place d’Armes is a square in Luxembourg City that originally served as a parade ground for troops defending the capital. Today, it is part of the pedestrian zone and surrounded by numerous cafés and restaurants, becoming the city’s main centre of activity and attracting both locals and visitors of all ages.
Bock Casemates
The Bock Casemates, a subterranean defence system made up of a series of tunnels, is one of the most important visitor sites in Luxembourg. Visiting the archaeological crypt, the antechamber to the casemates, is a similarly remarkable experience. On account of these impressive fortifications, Luxembourg was given the epithet of ‘Gibraltar of the North’.
