- jaimeelsabioMaryland4,226 contributionsA visit the these grounds was very emotional. It should remind everyone that freedom isn’t free and somebody’s son gave their life so we can live as we do.Written June 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The view of the beautiful hilly surrounding, the river crisscrossing the city below, the railway track , the beautiful shilloutte of the Luxembourg city from this area is something one must experience. A must see place in Luxembourg.Written May 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Paul LegateGravesend, UK20,286 contributionsGrund is located in the valley below the centre of Luxembourg City, it is nestled on the Alzette River and is incredibly picturesque with its charming architecture and beautiful backdrop. It is a nice place to stroll and also ideal for photo opportunities. There are many landmarks at Grund including Neumünster Abbey, Casemates du Bock as well as many other sights which are squeezed into a relatively small area. We walked from Gare Centrale to Grund and then took the public lift up to Ville-Haute which took a few minutes and is very accessible. It is a very attractive area of Luxembourg City and well worth exploring.Written April 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JRAsFishBabeCalgary1,868 contributionsWe were on our way to Trier from Bruges, and just "happened" to be passing through Luxembourg. Not really, I think our route was taking us that way. We had never been to Luxembourg or Luxembourg City, for that matter, so a good opportunity to see both. A nice benefit is that the City of Luxembourg, its old quarters and fortifications are on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
We took a few hours of our journey to pay this fine city a visit. We drove down into the valley of the Alzette River, found parking, wound our way through the streets of the wonderful old quarters of Pfaffenthal to the lift. This wonderful elevator, was built in 2016, is over seventy meters high, accommodates both pedestrians and cyclists, cost is free and connects the Pfaffenthal area with the Ville Haut Historical City. The glass covered lift offers up very scenic views of the Alzette River valley and the Pfaffenthal quarters below. This trip was a bit of a whirlwind affair, but if you are pressed for time as we were, the lift allows you to get a pretty good view of what makes Luxembourg City a city that is of World Heritage City status.
We did a wander through the old town and then wound our way back along the top of the river gorge, which effectively separates the city. There are some very interesting sites to be seen. Unfortunately, time was limited, but perhaps, our journeys will lead us back. It is a beautiful city and the elevator is a very nice way to approach it.Written June 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The fortifications included built up stone walls, fortresses, and towers and an extensive series of underground tunnels (casemates). The casemates are dug into a promontory overlooking the historic old city and the Alzette River. This strategic point in Europe was the scene of centuries of battles, with various parts of the fortifications being destroyed and rebuilt many times. With the Treaty of London in 1867, many of the above-ground fortifications were dismantled, but the casemates and some ruins remain. Even if you are unable to enter the casemates (often closed in winter and during the Covid pandemic), you can see and appreciate to some extent while walking past along the Le Chemin de la Corniche.Written January 16, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sophia SGeorgioupolis, Greece746 contributionsI like a lot to walk, that is why I would never live anywhere else but in Europe. This is a nice spot of Luxembourg-ville where you can reconnect with nature, in the heart of the city. We visited the 'secret gardens' where I got some nice seeds, to plant at home and I liked to walk along the river. The rocks are impressive and I visited also the casemates, that are very close to this, with my boyfriend - there we took many funny photos. There is nothing more amazing than to enjoy such a place with the partner of your dreams. Have safe trips!Written November 11, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ashley RWoking, UK93 contributionsAnother freebee thing to do in Luxembourg City. Absolutely incredible building built into the rock of the city. 7/8 floors split across 2 buildings. Interesting mixture of national museum stuff, art and furniture. We really enjoyed it.

- Inbal TTel Aviv, Israel169 contributionsIt is nice to see the place and the soldiers walking and standing just by walking in the street.

- David D1,143 contributionsThe bridge is an impressive arch over the valley connecting the newer parts of the city to the old citadel. It offers great views and is aesthetically pleasing in its own right when viewed from elsewhere.Written June 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SnowyShastaPortland, OR1,798 contributionsThe plaza is in the center of downtown and a great place to start your explorations. We found parking nearby and admired the town. There are several dining options here on the plaza, although they're pretty touristy, and we enjoyed getting an ice cream. We were also impressed with the public bathrooms located just off the main square, which were both free and very clean.Written June 13, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paul LegateGravesend, UK20,286 contributionsLa Passerelle - Luxembourg Viaduct was built to connect the city centre with Luxembourg Gare Centrale. It runs from Avenue de la Gare to Boulevard Franklin Delano Roosevelt and was built between 1859 and 1861. There are some magnificent views of the city from the Viaduct, equally the Viaduct is an impressive sight itself looming over the Pétrusse Valley.Written April 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ecurmiIsland of Malta, Malta167 contributionsA great area where to relax on a bench or strolling among the trees, and a place where children can have a great time on the swings. pity the pirates ship was being refurbished when we were there - but it will definitely be a great attraction when finishedWritten May 4, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tomicek1Ostrava, Czech Republic10 contributionsDefinitely very worth to see.

- OffWeGo2 contributionsThis is a great place to start an orientation to the city and history of Luxembourg. The format of the museum is very interesting starting at the lower levels inside fortress wall and going through a timeline around each floor and up to current times. There are relief models of the city in ancient and medieval times. The audio guide is good. The full room glass elevator that moves through the stone walls is very cool!Written May 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
