To learn more about the city’s history, visit the quirky Musée d’Histoire de la Ville de Luxembourg. It’s worth a stop simply for the glass lift up to the terrace where panoramic views await.

The National Museum of History and Art caters for more traditional tastes – come here for renowned works by Cézanne, Picasso, Turner and Magritte.

One of the city’s main attractions is the Bock Casemates, a maze of defensive tunnels carved out under the old city in 1745. It can be slippery and very dark in places with lots of dead ends, something the openings along the front face of the rock from with views of the lower town make up for.

There are lots of day trips from Luxembourg City, but the town of Vianden is particularly picture-perfect. Take a cable car up the hillside to the 11th-century castle, then wander back down the hillside and through the quaint town for a bite to eat by the river.
