Luxembourg

The biggest of the dwarf states of Europe is a Grand-Duchy with a flag that is almost, but not quite the same as the Dutch flag. This landlocked nation has three official languages, German, French and Luxembourgish and its economy is mainly based on financial institutions with Luxembourg being known as a tax-haven for the super-rich.

Despite being small, there is still plenty to do, the country has hills, forests, valleys with vineyards and picturesque villages, and the capital conveniently called Luxembourg, like the country, has a World Heritage Listed old town to rumble around. Good food and wine complement the good vibes, and an international atmosphere ensures a cosmopolitan feel.

So don’t skip this little Grand-Duchy, but hike around in search of medieval castles and hidden gorges, a friendly local, or a glass of wine from the Moselle Valley. Then make your way to the capital and mingle with the bankers, or stroll along the Chemin de la Corniche with its beautiful views.
