Visit Luxembourg

Skateboarding is not a crime. This catchphrase has a special meaning in the skateboarding world. Skaters learn to appreciate architecture and aesthetics from an early age. And everyone’s a winner, even the city – it attracts young, urban and open-minded people from all over the world. 🛹 There are seven steps on the wide staircase outside the west portal of Notre-Dame Cathedral, an impressive Gothic edifice constructed in the 17th century. With powerful panache, Ornello takes a run-up on his skateboard, rolls up the steps, jumps off, switches the board under his feet mid-flight and lands at the base of the steps with both feet on the board, before doing coasting in a wide arc. He grins: trick nailed. It’s as though the steps, along with the square in front of the cathedral, were made for skateboarding. This is the go-to place for Luxembourg’s skaters. 👟 What started outside the cathedral 30 years ago can be found all over Luxembourg today: the skating scene is big, jovial and diverse. And the city is an ideal playground. Skaters are welcome in many places and even invited to outfit the spots. Kirchberg, for example, boasts benches equipped with metal edges to make skating them easier. Skaters also helped shape the Péitruss, one of the largest and most beautiful skateparks in Europe. No matter where they are, skaters love the appeal, architecture and beauty of Luxembourg. And they’re part of it. ✍️ Fabian Teuber 📷 @thomaslinkel 👉 Read Luci magazine online or order your free copy here 👉 www.luci.travel in 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 🇱🇺 for inspiring travel stories from Luxembourg. #lucitravel #luxembourgcity #skateboarding #skateboardingisnotacrime #skatepark #skategirl #skateparkpeitruss #peitruss #petrusse #placedeleurope #cathedralenotredame #notredamecathedral #philharmoniedeluxembourg #grandducalpalace #worldheritagesite #unescoworldheritage #architecture #urban #greencity #luxembourg #luxemburg #visitluxembourg

A steep hill rises up amid an ocean of light green ferns and dark green, moss-coated rocks. All around are linden and sycamore trees, with overgrown fallen trunks here and there. A narrow path winds its way through the forest. The air is humid. It is pleasantly cool despite the summer temperatures. Down in the valley, the River Syre gurgles. Welcome to the Manternacher Fiels ravine forest. 🌳 Ancient trees, rare plants and gently flowing streams - meet Luxembourg’s wild side along the 11.5 km CFL hiking trail through unspoilt landscapes. This richly varied nature reserve is located in the east of the country. The trail starts at the Manternach train station next to the A Wiewesch Nature Reserve Centre and ends in Wasserbillig. 🌲 The path leads through meadow orchard and across creeks. Savour the tranquillity and high biodiversity in this nature reserve: the Manternacher Fiels is home to many plants and remarkable animals that wouldn’t otherwise be there. In the heart of the forest, 100 steps lead up to the train that takes hikers back to the starting point. Easy. ✍️ Jan Maier 📷 @oliverraatz 👉 Read Luci magazine online or order your free copy here 👉 www.luci.travel in 🇬🇧🇩🇪🇫🇷🇱🇺 for inspiring travel stories from Luxembourg #lucitravel #hikinginluxembourg #manternach #forest #hikingtrail #cflhiking #stationtostation #wasserbillig #hike #train #hikeandrail #naturereserve #moselle #hiking #nature #outdoorpassion #100thingstodolu #luxembourg #luxemburg #visitluxembourg @visitmoselle @cflinfos

With skylines and river valleys, historical foundations sprouting modern glass buildings and a plethora of green spaces, Luxembourg’s capital is as diverse as its population. Explore UNESCO world cultural heritage sites as well as futuristic cityscapes with architects @arnauddemeyer and @nico.steinmetz The city feels like a symbiotic creation of nature and humankind: From the meandering Alzette river valley over the Bock Casemates to the modern buildings on the plateau in the distance. All of this accentuated by bold green splashes of trees and leaves. “A city on many levels,” is how architect Nico Steinmetz likes to describe his home. The view from the Dräi Eechelen park alone offers a glimpse of the capital’s multiple layers - topographical, architectural, cosmopolitan. Today, Nico Steinmetz and his colleague Arnaud de Meyer are on a bike ride through their city. From time-to-time Arnaud stops for a quick sketch. Urban sketching perfectly represents this eclectic city. The two architects have been colleagues and friends for years. They’ve experienced and built a lot together, such as the elevator offering breathtaking views from the Alzette valley up to the city centre. Or the Oekozenter Pafendall, a prime example of a modern passive house. On their bike ride, Nico and Arnaud zoom through the bustle of the city and its fascinating architectural history: modern glass and steel buildings, UNESCO world heritage, the fortress ruins and bastions in the escarpment, the parks’ green spaces. All this sprinkled with lively cafes, like in the Rue du Nord, and a sense of global connectedness: Luxembourg, a global village. ✍️ Jan Maier | 📷 @thomaslinkel 👉 Read Luci magazine online or order your FREE copy here 👉 www.luci.travel in 🇬🇧🇩🇪🇫🇷🇱🇺 for inspiring travel stories from Luxembourg #lucitravel #luxembourgcity #acitythatconnects #philharmonie #philharmoniedeluxembourg #unesco #worldheritagesite #unescoworldheritage #architecture #greencity #diversity #luxembourg #luxemburg #visitluxembourg

Did you know that Vianden Castle features on the @cnntravel list of the world's most beautiful castles? 🏰 "Vianden Castle is Luxembourg's most famous castle, poised high above the Our River in northern Luxembourg. Built on the site of an ancient Roman fortress that protected the empire from barbarian invasion, the castle was constructed between the 11th and 14th centuries. 🏰 Blending aspects of Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance design, it remained in royal hands until 1977 when the Grand Duke bequeathed it to the state. Vianden's biggest annual bash is an August medieval festival with duelling knights, troubadours, jugglers and artisans." @cnntravel 🏰 🤩Outstanding photo by 📷@tomfielitzphotography @visiteislek #viandencastle #vianden #fairytale #medievalcastle #castle #chateau #schloss #instagood #instatravel #castlesofinstagram #beautifulplaces #beautifuldestinations #castlesofeurope #europecastles #wanderlust #discoverluxembourg #luxemburg #luxembourg #visiteurope #visitluxembourg
