Luxembourg's upper town: the walk everyone should do
Alleys, squares and viewpoints: the old town is best discovered on foot, for free.
The upper town is the historic heart of Luxembourg, perched above the valleys. It's a maze of alleys, squares and terraces with breathtaking views. And the good news: wandering around doesn't cost a cent.
The easy route to start with
Start with the main squares, then dive into the small streets branching off the sides. Look for the natural balconies overlooking the valleys - they're the best photo spots in the city. Let curiosity guide you rather than a strict map.
What not to miss
Take the time to walk down along the old fortifications: the views over the neighbourhoods below are worth the detour. The vaulted passages and hidden staircases are part of the charm. Every street corner offers a new perspective.
Do this walk at different times: mornings for the quiet, evenings for the golden light. The city completely changes face depending on the hour. It's an outing you can repeat ten times without ever getting bored.
