[Fan Jingshan Hotel Discount] Luxembourg, the pocket kingdom of European tourism

Today, we introduce Luxembourg, a small country in Europe. Luxembourg, the full name of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, is the only grand duchy in continental Europe. It is located in the northwest of Europe, bordering Germany in the east, France in the south and Belgium in the west and north. Because its terrain is constantly changing, Luxembourg is the main road between Germany and France in history, and the terrain is very dangerous. It has always been an important military fortress in western Europe and has an important title of North Gibraltar. Luxembourg is an industrial country with the highest per capita income and living standard in the European Union. Because of its small land area and many castles, it is also known as the "pocket kingdom" and "the country of thousands of castles". Luxemburg is divided into two parts by the Harthee River and the Petro River, with a wide valley in the middle, while the old and new cities are divided into two parts by the valley dividing line. There are many bridges connected with each other, including antique brick walls and modern metal bridges, which are beautifully built and have their own characteristics. Due to the large number of tourists, the price in Luxembourg is quite high. But the city area is small and the scenic spots are concentrated. Just one day's visit is enough.

Luxembourg, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, is located in the center of pampas region in the south of the Grand Duchy, with an altitude of more than 400 meters and a very dangerous terrain. Historically, it was an important military throat in western Europe. There are three walls, many strong castles, 23 kilometers long military tunnels and dark castles. It is an ancient military city with a history of 1000 years and is famous for its fortress. In Luxembourg, there is also the famous Alzette River, which is a tributary of the Syr Darya River and slowly passes through the city, dividing the city into two parts with a vast valley in the middle. At the core of Dolf Bridge, there is an 84-meter-long strange middle bridge, which is composed of arch bridge brackets. This bridge has a unique shape and elegant style, and it is a must-see for tourists. Along the river bank, there are some ancient towns with a long history. The buildings in the city are still primitive and the streets are a bit narrow. Now, there are still several historic sites that add a lot of color to the old city. Among them, there are not only the famous architectural features of Belgium, but also the majestic Grand Palace and Notre Dame de Paris, which were built in the early17th century, as well as many German fairy-tale streets and many other idyllic buildings in the old city.

The Grand Palace is the office and residence of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg. It is located in the north of Notre Dame de Paris and was built in 1244. All the rulers of Luxembourg used this place as a temporary palace when they visited. It was not until 1890 that Luxembourg had its own grand duke that it officially became a grand duchy. This building has been restored many times in history. 1554 The former municipal government building destroyed by fire was reconnected with it to form a whole and rebuilt by its Spanish rulers. The style of the Grand Duchy was obviously influenced by the Italian Renaissance, and the interior decoration was very exquisite, especially the main hall, the king's room and the banquet hall. It is worth seeing.

Schengen is another place worth visiting in Luxembourg. If you have been to an EU country, you should have basically applied for a Schengen visa. With this visa, you can travel freely between more than 20 Schengen member countries. Schengen is a small town in the southeast corner of Luxembourg, bordering Germany and France. It is about 30 kilometers away from downtown Luxembourg, close to the Mose River, and the scenery is very beautiful. It is one of the famous wine producing areas in Luxembourg, with many small wineries and huge wine cellars for tourists to visit. What really made this small town famous in the world was the Schengen Agreement named after it signed here in 1985, which marked the cancellation of the borders between most European countries and was of symbolic significance to the peaceful and free development of Europe. If you stay in Luxembourg for a few more days, you must spare half a day to visit here.
