What to expect in Luxembourg

This small country’s national motto is “Mir wëlle bleiwe wat mir sinn“ (We will stay what we are), a statement of independence directed at those who have tried to conquer Luxembourg in the past.

Studying in this landlocked country in Western Europe will embed you in a truly European way of life, while experiencing a multilingual culture. The smallest country in Europe, Luxembourg also has one of the highest living standards in the world with a population of just over 600 000, most of whom live in or around Luxembourg City.

Luxembourg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and wherever your explorations take you in this centuries-old country, you will discover beautifully preserved buildings and monuments. Soak up the rich history by simply going for a walk in the medieval streets or having a coffee in one of the sidewalk cafes.

WHAT TO DO IN YOUR SPARE TIME IN LUXEMBOURG

If you have some spare time in Luxembourg, here are several things you can explore and enjoy:

Explore Casemates du Bock: A vast complex of underground tunnels and galleries that have been used for defense, shelter, and more for centuries. They offer a unique perspective on the city’s history and provide beautiful views.
Visit the Palace of the Grand Dukes: The city residence of the Grand Ducal family. While the interiors can be visited only during summer, the changing of the guard and the exterior architecture are year-round attractions.
Go to Vianden Castle: One of the most renowned and beautifully restored castles in Luxembourg. The town of Vianden itself is worth exploring, with its narrow streets and old-world charm.
Enjoy Local Cuisine: Dive into traditional dishes like Judd mat Gaardebounen (smoked pork neck with broad beans) or Gromperekichelcher (spiced potato cakes).
