Big isn’t
always better – and this country will show you just why. The Grand Duchy of
Luxembourg, set scenically between the basins of the Alzette and Saeur rivers, has a total
area of less than 1000 sq. miles. Where it lags behind in size, Luxembourg surely makes up
in culture, art and history. Packed with beautiful medieval castles and legendary
vineyards, Luxembourg is not just a place with a pretty face: today it is an important
element of the European Union, and home to the Court of Justice
of the European
Communities – and a nation with a distinct color and variety of its own.
But most of all, it is a breathtaking and romantic holiday destination
– waiting to conquer your heart
