A Micro country sandwiched between France, Germany, and Belgium

I really had no expectations for Luxembourg. Driving in from Belgium took a few hours and it was dark a lot of the time as it was the shortest day of the year. However, arriving there I was amazed at how clean everything was. Being around Christmas, the market was in full swing with everything you can imagine to buy to eat.

The streets were pretty busy with holiday goers all around with their families and loved ones. Walking around the city was an adventure as the whole old city was medieval fortifications that are hundreds of years old and the new city had a certain charm to it. Two rivers, the Alzette and the Pétrusse, run through Luxembourg City. Over centuries, the water has made its way here, leaving deep, rocky valleys. It is in these rocky valleys below the city that you can usually get the best photographs.

This country amazed me as it is the only place in the world where public transportation is completely free, even to foreigners. Whether you take the bus, train, or tram, you do not have to pay anything at all which makes it very easy to accidentally jump on the wrong bus or tram and quickly get off to get on the correct one……A country definitely worth visiting…..
