Essential sights
Bock Casemates
Head right into the heart of Luxembourg City by following these tunnels that burrow into the cliffs. They’re fortifications from the 17th and 18th centuries that carry a rich and varied history. Wander through these atmospheric warrens and learn about how they’ve been used for different functions, including serving as bomb shelters during World War II.
Chemin de la Corniche
Luxembourg’s most famous walkway is one of the best ways to see the city centre. This is a balcony to the city, leading from the Casemates around the Alzette valley and offering views into the dramatic gorge below. Stroll along it to get a sense of the city’s enchanting character.
MUDAM
Kirchberg’s modern art gallery is a marvel, designed by 20th-century genius I.M. Pei (the man behind the Louvre pyramid). The interiors are light and spacious, hosting the work of contemporary masters such as Cy Twombly and Daniel Buren. It’s worth visiting at different times of the year, as MUDAM welcomes a calendar of temporary exhibitions.
The Ducal Palace
Visit Luxembourg’s grand Ducal Palace in summer and you’ll be able to explore inside the residence of Luxembourg’s royalty. Come outside visiting hours, when the Duke and Duchess are home, and it’s still worth seeing this city-centre palace and its elegant façade.
Notre Dame Cathedral
The thin, climbing spires of Luxembourg’s stunning main cathedral share the same fairy-tale aesthetic as many of the country's landmarks. Notre Dame, built in the 17th century, features an impressive array of artworks inside its vaulted, awe-inspiring nave.
