Vianden

The final stop on my long weekend in Luxembourg is Vianden. It's getting late in the day on a Sunday so it's only an hour-long stop off, but the key attraction is an enormous cable car that reaches to the top of the hill overlooking the quaint town and impressive castle that towers above it.
