I've just returned from a great short trip to Luxembourg. Although I did some research before I visited, I was still unprepared for how clean, safe and compact it was.
I was a little concerned that I would spend valuable visiting time trying to find the elevator to the Grund but it wasn't a problem, I just did what usually works - I followed the locals!
I loved visiting the historic Grund district, with it's winding streets and lovely church - I visited in the evening and again the following morning and, if I'd had more time, I'd have spent even more time there! I also loved vibrant Place d'Ames - busy and buzzing and surrounded by designer shops. This was one of the safest Cities I've visited in Europe - I'm always careful, but I felt more able to relax here.
Everywhere was clean and I didn't see any litter or graffiti. Everybody was welcoming and I really enjoyed my visit. Thanks for your comments. Your remarks confirmed we made a good choice!
The first thing I saw when I got out of the taxi from the airport to my hotel across from the Luxembourg Station were about 10 police officers who had 4 or 5 African guys in handcuffs and up against the wall.
