Advantages: Lot's to do and see, great nightlife, fine dining and wine tasting. Disadvantages: Can be expensive if not careful
...in different places then you will love the vibrant cafes and restaurants near the river in an area called the Grund that you can get to via a lift that will take you downwards past the old rock. If you can't afford to stay in a luxury hotel then there are plenty of youth hostels and from what I've heard they are very nice to stay in even though they might not be luxurious. Plus they are a lot cheaper so if you can live without the luxury of a posh hotel then you will enjoy a night in a youth hostel.
Whilst in Luxembourg you won't want to miss sampling the food. You could work up an appetite by rock climbing or water sports. Luxembourg has plenty of restaurants and food places you can even dine al fresco in Luxembourg.

Advantages: Nice city centre, orderly Disadvantages: Ugly suburbs
...Luxembourg has a very nice city centre. If you arrive in the suburbs of Luxembourg you first will be disappointed. There is much industry and it looks a little gray. But be persevere, and search for the city centre.
There are a few ways to visit Luxembourg. You can walk through the city. It’s not very big, so you can see all if you are a trained pedestrian. You can also take one of the many “city trains”.
