It’s very easy not to visit Luxembourg. \u00a0Not much large than a postage stamp on most maps, with a population of only a half million, the Grand Duchy quickly slides by on your rail or road-trip through the larger countries between which it’s sandwiched, namely France, Germany and Belgium.<\/p>\n
We tacked on a brief visit to Luxembourg while in Europe, en route from France to Belgium, and were pleasantly surprised by the what a great place this was! \u00a0Luxembourg City is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site<\/a>\u00a0for its historic core and the extensive remains of its fortifications (at one time it was one of Europe’s fortress strongholds), so this is where we focused our time. \u00a0It’s a wonderful green city in which to walk and explore or just sit at a cafe and people watch. \u00a0Nice folks, great food, a millennium’s worth of history and a pleasant pace of life. \u00a0What more could you ask from a European destination?<\/p>\n This week’s photos highlight portions of the fortified wall as well as of some of the \u00a0older buildings of the city.<\/p>\n\n
