Day 69 - Luxembourg City - Wednesday

We love Luxembourg City, although it doesn't have the well known sights to see it is a very urbane city with beautiful park areas and a mixture of old and new buildings. To us it was an unknown, the history and the people. There is a very cosmopolitain feel as the European Parliament Secretariat is based here and people from all the various member states live and work here. Consequently the gravy train is in full swing with lots of quality restaurants and shops.  

Once again our choice of hotel is good as we are only a 15 minute walk from the centre, and apart from some rain last night the weather is warm and in the main sunny.....

So here are some shots of the mysterious Luxembourg City

 

 

as you can see getting very autumnal now....

 

 

 

we did see the remote control mower in the park, good for your garden John and these slopes...

 

 

we thought we'd made the gravy train but it was an easy way to get a "touristy" look around.....
