Luxembourg

Luxembourg offers accomodation options to suit every budget, from no-frills hostels to no-expense-spared hotels. The 4 star Hotel Simoncini (6 Rue Notre Dame) is well-positioned, has a trendy modern art gallery as its foyer, and is slightly cheaper than other city centre hotels.

For travel on a shoestring, Charly's Gare (2 Rue du Golf Senningerberg) is just an 11 minute drive from the city centre, with simple but well-furnished rooms and mountain views.

Take a walk from shop to shop on Luxembourg's friendly pedestrian streets. Housed in gorgeously historic buildings, the shops and restaurants of the city centre have a unique charm about them.

Those seeking some retail therapy will also relish Luxembourg's shopping malls, with their unique selection of shops and boutiques, restaurants and snack bars. Trade events are also regularly organised by malls as a day out for all the family.

You'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to Luxembourg's delicious dining scene. The indulgent La Cristallerie (18 Place d'Armes) is beautifully lit with stained glass and offers great options for vegetarians.

For something a bit different, Grimougi (34 Rue du Pont) is off the beaten path with innovative dishes spanning a range of different cuisines, from Italian to Portuguese. Make sure you book, though, as its packed out with locals at the weekends.
