Standing at a height of 310 metres, Vianden Castle is one of the largest fortified castles in Europe. It was built between the 11th and 14th centuries, on the 10th century foundations of a Roman castle, and was home to the powerful Counts of Vianden until the early 15th century.

Embark on a leisurely walking tour of Luxembourg City

Your Local Specialist will take you through centuries of history, as you walk past the Cathedral and the Grand Ducal Palace, with its Flemish Renaissance façades. See the city's unique forts and imposing Bock promontory, and stop by the Pont du Château, a curious two-tiered bridge with four ways of crossing between the cliffs.
Enjoy the views of the gorge of the Rivers Alzette and Petrusse

Your Luxembourg tour will take you to the intersection of the Alzette and Pétrusse rivers, where you can admire the gorgeous vista of greenery surrounding the gorge. These deep valleys were once an important part of the city’s defences, providing natural protection on all three sides.
People-watch in the leafy Place d'Armes

Relax with a coffee in Place d’Armes, a vibrant square at the heart of the Luxembourg city centre. There are orchestras playing every summer evening, and a Christmas market in winter. You can also find a monument celebrating Luxembourg’s national poets, Dick and Michael Lentz, who wrote the country’s national anthem.
