Summary
Hey!!! So we’ve arrived in Luxembourg! (Can I hear a “Whoop! Whoop!!!”?) As you may have seen on our Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, we are already out and about exploring Luxembourg City, in the country of… you guessed it – Luxembourg! 🙂
Luxembourg lies between Belgium, France, and Germany. A little interesting fact I found out today is that it is the world’s only Grand-Duchy – which means a country that is ruled by a Duke or Duchess (No ‘Kings’ or ‘Queens’ here). 😄 We’ve been having an amazing time so far and can’t wait to share our experiences with you! I’ll get right on this pretty soon!
For a while now, I have always wanted to visit Luxembourg. It has always been one of those countries that has been on my travel radar. I recently surprised myself upon realizing that I had yet to visit Luxembourg! The city, after all, is only a 1-hour flight from London, so I really have no excuses for not visiting sooner.
Luxembourg has always seemed magical to me. It’s as if it is a country within a fairytale – beautiful scenery, amazing castles, quaint picturesque streets, and history to literally jump head-over-heels for. Of course, great Luxembourgish cuisine also adds to its charm. One of the most exciting things that has always piqued my interest is the UNESCO World Heritage part of the city. I have always loved how stunning the city looks. My excitement reached an all-time high as we flew over the city! From the sky, the city is dramatically picturesque. I must have attempted to take photos of the city about 50 times as we landed… I totally hogged the window (sorry Yaya… I will let you have the window seat on the return flight).
Luxembourg City is built on different levels, with the UNESCO World Heritage area of the old city located across the main fortress. The city itself is relatively small, with about 100,000 people living here. Moreover, the city seems nestled within the most beautiful countryside and parks. It feels like such a green, historic city… It’s going to be a struggle to leave! Actually, if anybody is looking for someone to adopt to stay and eat lots of food and drink great coffee, I’m available! Or at least looking for an obligatory food-eater, hehe! 🙂
We are exploring so much of the city (and the rest of the country) over the coming days. Consequently, we can’t wait to share all the amazing things we have seen, experienced, and my very favorite – tasted! 😋
Till then, here are a few photos I’ve taken so far…
