Grund district, Luxembourg City

Highlight • Settlement

The Grund is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Luxembourg City. As early as the 14th century, a hospice is mentioned in this area, which was located in the building of today's National Museum of Natural History. It was the forerunner of the city's civil hospices and provided care for the elderly, the sick, and orphans.

After the Altmünster Abbey was destroyed in 1543, the Neumünster Abbey was built in Grund. Over the centuries, its buildings have also served as a prison, and today they house a cultural and meeting center.

Grand Ducal Palace

Highlight • Historical Site

The Grand Ducal Palace, the city residence of the Grand Ducal Family, is located in the heart of the old town district.
At the site of the present-day palace, there was once the first town hall of the City of Luxembourg, whose origins date back to 1418. After the town hall was destroyed by a gunpowder explosion in 1554, it was rebuilt 20 years later.
In 1741, the stone balustrade of the balcony was replaced by a wrought-iron balustrade, which still exists today. In the mid-18th century, the building was extended on the right side with a Baroque-style building known as the "Stadtwaage" (City Weigh House).
In 1890, the Chamber of Deputies was erected on the right side of the palace.
Since 1890, the main building has served as the Grand Ducal Palace.
From 1992 to 1995, the palace was extensively restored.

View of the Alzette Valley and Neumünster Abbey from the Corniche

Highlight • Viewpoint

Until 1870, some of the steep slopes of the Corniche were still equipped with stairs; only after the demolition were they leveled. A large part of the battlemented fortress walls also had to be removed, opening up a magnificent view of the Alzette valley, the lower town of Grund and the Plateau du Rham.

Pfaffenthal

Highlight • Settlement

If you take the panoramic elevator from the upper town to the Pfaffenthal, you should definitely take a short walk through the valley.

By bus from Saarbrücken main station in 1.25 hours for €9 there and back!!! and that 15x a day. Then I thought to myself: do that. A great day in a great city, certainly even more beautiful in summer when the weather is nice. Bus can be booked online through CFL International.

That leaves the Luxembourgish variant for a third visit to this ultimately trilingual city.

From Kockelscheuer with bus 18 to Roosevelt. Then off into the fray.... Fortifications, churches, old walls, modern buildings, panorama lift, funicular, something for everyone...
Then a city tour with the "public" and boom, a day is over.

For a ridiculous €5.60 as a day ticket there and back, we continued from Trier to Luxembourg, more precisely to the city of Luxembourg. The low price is explained by the fact that it is actually just a border tax, as public transport in Luxembourg has been completely free for 3 years 😲👍.

Our first visit - the first flying visit to Luxembourg ....

Impossible to leave a proper comment here - the city is just too eclectic, awe-inspiring, intriguing and complicated (at least for us "unknowing ones").

To get to know each other for the first time, we tested the new Komoot function and had tour suggestions displayed - in this case …

The abundance of impressions is almost overwhelming. I read a lot while creating the route, but you keep discovering more fascinating highlights. Can only assign some things in the follow-up. luxembourg-city.com/de/about-luxembourg-city

At point 24 of the route, the panorama elevator, the route actually takes the elevator up and from the upper exit in the direction of the city park. Great …
