Luxembourg City Sightseeing Tour
Enjoy the panoramic view of the Old Town and the fortifications of the UNESCO world heritage
Luxembourg is a city of myriad faces - not only in the figurative sense.
The museums teem with the portraits of the renowned personalities determining the history of the millenary fortress, be it the fortress builder Vauban or the Spanish Governor Peter Ernst von Mansfeld.
Faces also moulded the cultural scene, if you merely think of the expressive clown or children’s faces of Joseph Kutter, the best-known painter of the Grand Duchy.
Whoever strolls across the Old Town, the Gardens or the modern Kirchberg Plateau, will invariably encounter further faces on busts, sculptures or memorial stones: they remind you of Goethe, the writer, Robert Schuman, the “father of Europe” and the merry musicians of the kermesse pageant “Hämmelsmarsch”.
