Luxembourg

Luxembourg is a small Grand Duchy in the heart of Western Europe, punching well above its size with a capital of dramatic castle ramparts and deep river gorges, a prosperous and cosmopolitan population, and the forested Ardennes region in the north. The culture blends French, German, and Luxembourgish influences in a way that is distinctly its own. It suits travellers who enjoy historic architecture, good food, and compact European destinations done very well.

  • Highest GDP per capita in the world.
  • More than half the workforce commutes in from France, Belgium, and Germany daily.
  • Tiny enough that mobile networks from three countries reach you simultaneously.
