Well, one of the Grand Dukes places! This one is in the City and easy to get too - it was recently renovated and cleaned - worthy of a quick look and some nice photos - look at the golden masks on the poles opposite the Palace - they are convex - but when you stand directly in front of...

Like all things Luxembourgish this is a must see attraction in a city with not a lot worth seeing.

I loved the facade, but did not go in. Too bad it is tucked away on a narrow street and doesnt have good visibility... you almost might miss is when walking around Luxembourg. It does add to the city though -- and I love the place all together!

It's just so beautiful. Something to see in minute or two or watch the changing of the guards from the chocolate cafe right across the street. Such a royal building.

This is a splendid building near to the centre of Town and is very easy to see. In the summer there are guided tours. Tickets from the Tourist office nearby.

The palace is used for state functions, the family doesn't live here, but you can watch the guard in front of the palace marching (it's not a traditional uniform), and in the summer (July & August only) you can even visit it and learn about the history of the Grand Duchy. Tickets from the Turist Office, but should be taken...

You can visit the palace during August. All visits are guided. The tickets are sold in the Tourist Office only. It is a very modest, no frill palace, a part of which was used as a pub during WWII:
