Mercure Grand Hotel Luxembourg Alfa, Luxembourg

Luxembourg Small, But Plentiful.

Advantages: Lot's to do and see, great nightlife, fine dining and wine tasting.
Disadvantages: Can be expensive if not careful

Luxembourg is the capital of the Grand Duchy. It is steeped in history with a rich, troubled past, but a future that has hope and optimism. There is a true sense of culture and the people of Luxembourg are very proud to live there. It has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, but not everyone speaks English so if you get lost it is a bit of a problem finding someone to ask the directions that understands you. Luxembourg has a large mixture of different cultures more than 33% of the capital's population is of foreign origin. Luxembourg's motto is 'Mir wëlle bleiwe wat mir sin' which means "We want to remain what we are" this sums up the originality of Luxembourg. There are many historical and cultural sites to see in Luxembourg. I enjoyed looking at the many intriguing and beautiful places. It was fun discovering the history ...

I had a title but I left it in Luxembourg

Advantages: centrally located, cheap, convenient
Disadvantages: a quality 5* hotel this aint

We had a bank holiday last week and assuming that it would be more dead than a Sunday (and believe me, a typical Sunday here is taking some getting used to after 20 years of Sundays in England) I decided to do the sensible thing and go away for a few days to a country that, erm, wasn’t having a bank holiday.

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 ...

Review of Hotel Schintgen, Luxembourg

Luxembourg... Zzzzzz Zzzzzz Zzzzzz

Advantages: Deathly quiet, safe as a Bomb Shelter
Disadvantages: Deathly quiet, Like being wrapped in cotton wool 24/7

and southwest, are Luxembourg\'s industrial heartland and home to many of Luxembourg\'s largest towns. The border between Luxembourg and Germany is formed by three rivers: the Moselle, the Sauer, and the Our. Other major rivers are the Alzette, the Attert, the Clerve, and the Wiltz. The valleys of the mid-Sauer and Attert form the border between the Gutland and the Oesling. Luxembourg has been overshadowed by the culture of its neighbours, although, having been for much of its history a profoundly rural country, it retains a number of folk traditions. There are several notable museums, mostly located in the capital; these include the National Museum of History and Art (MNHA), the History Museum of the City of Luxembourg, and the new Grand Duke Jean Museum of Modern Art (Mudam). The National Museum of Military History (MNHM) in Diekirch is ...
