Luxembourg City


Founded in 963 by Sigefroid, the Count of Ardennes, the original fortress is all but destroyed. The labyrinthe underneath was constructed by the Spanish in 1644 during their domination. The world's most beautiful balcony, the Chemin de la Corniche, is a pedestrian promenade at the fortress. Just southwest of the Chemin is the Grand Ducal Palace.
