Choose the epic castles of Luxembourg City

Choose castles and find out the best time to visit

There are a few of us out there who prefer a cooler and wetter climate – that’s right, we do exist! And what better place to pick than green Luxembourg City. The best time to go is the autumn months when the leaves turn golden that the city is at its most magical. Direct flights from UK to Luxembourg City cost as little as £10 during this period making it an excellent weekend break.

How to get around

Luxembourg City is easy to cover on foot but be aware that there are steep paths/ steps. Also, they have recently built a panoramic elevator that connects the Parc Pescatore to the bottom of the Alzette valley, not only does this save your legs, it also provides breath-taking views of the city and the River Alzette.

What to see

Outside of the city there are some stunning castles that look like a scene out of a Disney movie. Vianden Castle is the biggest and most famous, but Bourscheid Castle is not to be missed. Bourscheid Castle is perched 150m above the River Sure. The castle was first built approximately 1,000 years ago, some of the towers and walls have since collapsed making a large part of the castle an open-air ruin, which all adds to its charm.
