Luxembourg City, the capital and only major city of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
I have to admit that I knew very little about Luxembourg and, after
Germany, I had low expectations about the place. How wrong I was!
The historic center of Luxembourg City, with its stately architecture and natural beauty, is every bit as interesting and photogenic as any European capital. It is well worth a visit.

A used car dealer with some interesting oldtimers and one new Alfa. |
 |
One of many steep streets in Luxembourg, winter tires are apparently mandatory as pretty much every car had them. |
 |
Notre-Dame Cathedrale towering in the distance. |
 |
The valley of the Alzette river. |
 |
This tiny river carved out this huge gorge. |
 |
Modern buildings in the new parts of town. |
 |
Impressive stone viaduct. One of many. |
 |
Every city should look like this. The oldest part of town, the Grund, on the banks of the Alzette. |
 |
Another very steep street. |
 |
The Alzette up-close. |
 |
Inside the Grund. |
 |
Layer upon layer of old fortifications. If only the walls could talk. |
 |
In front of Notre-Dame Cathedral. |
 |
The towering building across the Petrusse Valley is actually a bank. |
