It’s really great how you can drive to from one country to another in a few hours in Europe. On our second day of our Europe trip we drove to Luxemburg City (only 2.5 hours from Brussels) and had a look around.

One of the first things we spotted was the Adolphe bridge surrounded by greenery. I thought the gardens nearby was also pretty. Close to the garden was a gilded statue on a towering obelisk called the Golden Lady.
There were lots of viewpoints around the city to look out from, the district aptly named ‘High City’.

The best viewpoint that I liked was from the Sky lift. The end of the walkway has a glass panel around so you can get a panoramic view. There’s a lift that takes you down to the ground too where there is a play area and some fun statues.

Later on we looked around the city square shops and had lunch and then went to the funfair that the city holds every summer. Transport is free so you can take the tram to the location. We had a ride on the huge Ferris wheel and brought some tasty snacks. I really liked the grand looking buildings which seemed to shine in the sun.

I enjoyed my day trip to Luxemburg, not really having any expectations. It was an affluent city and well looked after and it felt safe which is always good too.
