The Experience

How do you see a city without spending the whole day on a bus? A private guide who knows the streets means you move at your own pace and stop when something catches your eye. This tour starts at Place d'Armes, the central square ringed by the Grand Ducal Palace, Notre-Dame Cathedral and the National Museum of History and Art. From there you head down Avenue de la Liberté, where shops and cafes line the way, before dropping into the Grund—the district that sits on the banks of the Alzette River and holds some of Luxembourg's most striking architecture, including the Adolphe Bridge and Neumünster Abbey.

The Chemin de la Corniche is the turn where the walk opens up. This highland path runs above the old town and gives you the view most postcards of Luxembourg are built from: the river below, the fortified walls, the buildings stacked on the far bank. It is also where you understand why this city was so hard to take—the geography does the defending for you. By the time you reach the Bock Casemates, you are ready to go underground. These tunnels were carved during medieval times as a defense network and run deep enough that the temperature drops noticeably. You walk through them with a flashlight, seeing how the stone was cut and where the defenders would have stood. The Casemates are open to visitors but charge separate entry; your guide will explain what you are looking at.

The whole route takes three hours and suits any fitness level—there is climbing, but nothing steep or relentless, and the guide adjusts the pace to the group. You can book the tour in English, French or German, and public transport stops are nearby if you need to get back to your hotel or the station afterward.
