Advantages: Lot's to do and see, great nightlife, fine dining and wine tasting. Disadvantages: Can be expensive if not careful
enjoy eating 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.
Treat yourself to the food at one of the cafes and you will be able to indulge in many tempting treats ...
Advantages: centrally located, cheap, convenient Disadvantages: a quality 5* hotel this aint

Despite the low prices, youth hostels just don’t appeal to me most of the time, so I took to the net to look for a hotel and about half an hour later had found one, checked availability and handed over my credit card number.
*** Getting There
The hotel is located smack bang in the center of the city. From the railway station, turn right ...
Advantages: Deathly quiet, safe as a Bomb Shelter Disadvantages: Deathly quiet, Like being wrapped in cotton wool 24/7
If youve found something interesting here, it means youve crossed the border, and are probably in Germany. The country that brings you the museum of blocks of steel, also brings with it a mundane boringness that can only be found in Luxembourg.
Ok, so you dont need a Flak Jacket for this one, but for me, it would make a really neat retirement home, all enclosed within its small borders, in fact, I would love to retire there when Im older and grey, well, older, and greyer!
You can be mistaken if you think that your permently in some English Hamlet somewhere, the whole country has this feel to it, which some people like.
All though it isnt my cup of tea, a lot has to be said for the stability of the country, and lets face it, its doing well!
Luxembourg\'s stable, high-income economy features moderate growth, low inflation ...
