The best way to understand and discover the history of Luxembourg is to experience it. To do this, take advantage of the super well-marked circuit called: Wenzel. The “Wenceslas” walking circuit represents the largest open-air museum in Luxembourg.

The best way to (re)discover the fortifications listed as UNESCO World Heritage, through its 5.5 km length, crossing the Bock rock, the cornice, the ramparts, the Bock casemates and along ancient citadels. You'll see, there are some great points of view, perfect for an Insta story.

Our favorite: additional explanatory panels are placed throughout the visit, to learn even more about the history of the capital.

We've found a great little address for you to cool off (or warm up).

Two friends who met in Nice several years ago had the idea of creating their ice cream parlor based on an innovative concept.

Traditional flavors, but also original: white peach, lavender, rosemary, or even pumpkin. In addition, it's homemade: that's really “nice”!

Apart from that, you will also find pastries and iced coffees. At the beginning of autumn, you can also find hot chocolates.
