Luxembourg City

In 2008, the construction of the new justice quarter on "Plateau du Saint-Esprit" was completed.

The Grand Ducal Palace is located in the heart of the Old Town and serves as the city residence of the Grand Ducal family. The magnificent interiors can be visited from mid-July to the end of August.

Nowhere else can you visit a whole country with a single tourist “passport”. The Luxembourg Pass gives free access and large reductions for more than 90attractions. It’s a real “must have” for groups, families and individuals.

The Bourbon plateau got its name from the former Fort Bourbon and it had been included in the fortification for ages.

On the Constitution Square the "Gëlle Fra" set-up in 1923 to commemorate the fallen soldiers of the First World War. The monument is a symbol of the freedom and resistance of the people of Luxembourg.

In its new building, inaugurated in 2002, and in three historic houses renovated in 2014, the National Museum of History and Art shows the national archaeological, historical and artistic collections in more than 6,000 m2. It is a key cultural attraction for those who wish to understand the history of Luxembourg through its public collections. The Museum’s prologue offers an uplifting introduction by displaying a brief history of the country and the Museum since 1839. The visitor is then invited to continue his journey along the route of his choice. There are four circuits to choose from: territorial archaeology from prehistory to the middle ages; national and international painting and sculpture from the 14th century to the present day; life in Luxembourg from the 16th century to the present day; and monetary history from antiquity to the present day. Beyond the newly outfitted permanent collections featuring the jewels of the Museum, the MNHA also regularly offers major temporary exhibitions that resonate with its own collections. Visitors can also admire works by the famous Luxembourg-born American photographer Edward Steichen.

The church of St Michael is the oldest holy building in the city.
