Luxembourg, or the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, is a Benelux country sharing borders with Germany, France and Belgium. It is known for its steel, advanced technology and banking industry and is considered one of the richest countries. Based on this description, you may picture Luxembourg as a country with busy streets and only a few natural tourist spots, but the reality is that there are several breathtaking landscapes in the country, vineyards and forests, that attract countless people to come for vacation.
There are various UNESCO World Heritage sites found in Luxembourg, e.g. the Grand Ducal Palace known for its cobblestone walkways and the Gothic Revival Cathedral of Notre Dame. Echternach is a city that's a must visit especially because it is where you'll find Willibrord buried, Luxembourg's patron saint. Do not forget to drop by Vianden, a village with a romantic ambiance, thanks to its lakes inhabited by swans, forests, and the Beaufort Castle.
