Ibis Styles
27 juli, Luxemburg ⋅ 🌧 64 °F
Well, it looks cool. But the room is SO small. My suitcase was too big to go around the bed. Thankfully, I'm only here one night, so I'll be fine.
Eating at Partigiano
27 juli, Luxemburg ⋅ 🌧 61 °F
It was late when i got to the hotel, so I wasnt picky for food. For my first meal, I had a very interesting take on a five cheese pizza. It had five cheeses, but it didn't have sauce and did have nutsMeer informatie
Pfaffenthal Panoramic Elevator
28 juli, Luxemburg ⋅ ⛅ 55 °F
The gray tower on the left is where I went. First..... I dont like it when the walkway moves on me. Second..... I don't like it when the floor is see-through (just the last little bit). I started atMeer informatie
Typical Street
28 juli, Luxemburg ⋅ ⛅ 57 °F
This is pretty typical of what the houses look like. There are some other colors, but mostly pale pastels.
The Journey
28 juli, Luxemburg ⋅ ⛅ 57 °F
Since I went down the Pfaffenthal Panoramic Elevator, everywhere I went was uphill. Hindsight, I should have gone back up and just run across the bridge. On my directions, i couldn't tell I was goingMeer informatie
New Bridge
28 juli, Luxemburg ⋅ ⛅ 57 °F
This is the New Bridge (meaning it's the newest one). It was opened in 1903 (yes, 1903). It's also called the Adolphe Bridge in honor of Grand Duke Adolphe. Hopefully, I can get a better angle on theMeer informatie

Palais Grand-Ducal

I learned today that although Luxembourg has a royal family, they do not have a King/Queen or a Prince/Princess. They instead have a Grand Duke: Grand Duke Henri. The Ducal family apparently prefersMeer informatie
Luxembourg American Cemetery & Memorial

I didn't think I would have time to come here, but I took an Über which saved me about an hour (30 min each way). I'm glad I did!
Memorial and Grounds
28 juli, Luxemburg ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F
This was a beautiful memorial to the soldiers.
General Patton
28 juli, Luxemburg ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F
Had General Patton not been buried here, I probably wouldn't have come across this cemetery/memorial. He wanted to be buried with his troups. He is the only 4-star general to be buried outside of theMeer informatie

The monument of Dicks and Lentz was created to remember these two poets who, along with other things, created the national anthem for Luxembourg.
Outside Palace
28 juli, Luxemburg ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
It's hard to tell, but that is a light post, and it has a face in the opening. It gets even creapier. The face is made so that it is an optical illusion, and its eyes seem to follow you.

28 juli, Luxemburg ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
This shows the national motto of Luxembourg: We want to stay what we are

This is a view of one of their universities.
Wenzel
28 juli, Luxemburg ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
This name looked like Wendel, and since Luxembourg borders Germany on its eastern side, I thought this may have been an alternate spelling from a long time ago.
I found out that the path was in honorMeer informatie

One of the names that is given to Luxembourg is the "Land of Roses". In honor of that, they put a thorn coming out of the side of the wall.
