Itinerary

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes (approximately)
  • Grand Ducal Palacea (Pass by)

    The official residence of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg and the undisputed centerpiece of royal life in the country. Originally built as the city hall, it became a royal residence in the 19th century. During the Nazi occupation, it was reportedly used as a concert venue and tavern, a symbolic insult to the exiled Grand Ducal family.
