5 reasons to visit Luxembourg

Luxembourg is one of the smallest countries in Europe, and for that matter, in the world too. Flanked by Belgium, France and Germany, it is a predominantly rural country but still manages to rank really high in the world’s richest countries owing to its successful steel, finance and technology industry. With a length of 82 km and breadth of 57 km, it can be driven through in less than a day, but to do this surprisingly gorgeous landlocked country justice, one must spend 4-5 days exploring the popular places to visit in Luxembourg. From its famous castles to breathtaking natural beauty, the country has a lot to offer to visitors.
The capital is Luxembourg City, which lies at the heart of Western Europe, easily reachable from most of the cities. The city, on the confluence of two major rivers, has a small population compared to other major cities in Europe and has a high standard of living. Most people in Luxembourg have roots in Belgium, France and Germany, and a third of the population is comprised of foreigners. The common languages spoken are French, German and Luxembourgish, which is a dialect of German. Even though it is Europe’s most powerful investment management centre, the country offers a mélange of natural, architectural, and historical attractions to tourists.
