Five Reasons to Visit Luxembourg

A location between France, Germany and Belgium, and a history of near permanent siege have taught Luxembourg to be adaptable. Both French and German are official languages, and Luxembourg has long been a go-between for its larger neighbors. But the mesh of influences has also enriched the statelet (with castles in Germanic and Latin styles) and given rise to a vibrant food scene (13 Michelin-starred restaurants, Moselle wines). By some measures, the Grand Duchy's citizens are the world's wealthiest, but they would say their real treasures are natural, from the Ardennes forests to the valleys of southern Gutland.
