Luxembourg & The Moselle

Luxembourg City is one of Europe's most dramatically beautiful and undervisited capital cities — a place of extraordinary contrast, where medieval towers and fortifications rise above deep river gorges while the EU institutions hum quietly in the modern city above. The Old Town and its cliff-carved foundations are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the views from the Chemin de la Corniche — often called Europe's most beautiful balcony — across the Grund are simply breathtaking.

Beneath the city lies one of the most remarkable visitor experiences in Europe: the Bock Casemates, a vast network of underground tunnels and galleries carved into the sandstone rock over centuries of fortification. Once capable of housing tens of thousands of troops, horses and artillery, the casemates stretch for over 17 kilometres beneath the city and offer a uniquely atmospheric glimpse into Luxembourg's extraordinary defensive history.

Vianden Castle, in the wooded Ardennes valley of the Our River, is one of the finest and most completely restored medieval fortresses in the entire Benelux region — a magnificent fortress that feels genuinely transported from another century. The Moselle Valley, where Luxembourg, Germany and France meet, is one of Europe's most rewarding wine regions, and the included river cruise and wine experience offer the perfect way to discover its pleasures.
