Lussemburgo
The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, this Lilliputian country squeezed by its important neighbors France, Germany and Belgium, might fall unnoticed when planning a tour of Europe. Some might even imagine it as a rather insipid place, filled with eminent banking institutions and European Union bureaucrats. Yet, Luxembourg is located at a strategic crossroads of several main highways. If you are planning travel through it, adjust your trip schedule and discover a land of fascinating medieval fortresses, gentle woodlands, amazing castles, and charming villages.
The whole country is merely 85km long and 52km wide, but this tiny package can offer a lot. The hilly region of the Ardennes is generously forested and dotted with medieval castles. The Mullerthal area, with its peculiar sandstone rock formations among waterfalls and forest, is insuperable for hiking. The wine-growing region of the Moselle is delightful and renowned for its white wines, while Luxembourg City has developed around an ancient fortified citadel in a unique and captivating setting. Perhaps unexpectedly, there are more Michelin-starred restaurants per capita in the Grand Duchy than any other country in the world.
