Driving in Luxembourg
Luxembourg is a tiny country bordering Belgium, Germany and France. An abundance of natural beauty with scenery often resembling a fairy tale, Luxembourg definitely makes up for its lack of size with amazing attractions. It has an excellent road network that winds through picturesque forests and hillsides, making Luxembourg an ideal country to explore with a rental car. Small cities and towns throughout the country still bare resemblance to medieval times with their amazingly preserved architecture and style.
Luxembourg City is the capital of the country, and at over 1000 years old, there is a whole lot of historical attractions to visit that make the city famous. Once nicknamed "Gibraltar of the north", the city was fortified by a massive network of tunnels and underground chambers known as the Casemates used to defend the city and house thousands of soldiers. Park your rental car near the entrance to the Casemates and head down to explore the tunnels and bunkers below.
With one of the highest concentrations of castles in the world, touring Luxembourg is like looking through a history book, with amazing places not to be missed. Drive northeast and visit the town of Vianden, home to an enormous medieval castle built over 500 years ago. A little north of Vianden you can also visit the SEO Hydro-Electric Plant, the largest of its kind in Europe.
Take a scenic drive west of Vianden to Bourscheid where you will find a small town built near another large castle. Bourscheid Castle dates back 1000 years and was completed over the next 4 centuries. The castle is built on a hill above a valley and the River Sure 150 metres below, with amazing panoramic views in all directions. Much of the area in this part of Luxembourg is protected as the Deutsch Luxemburgischer Nature Park, which stretches across the border into Germany. The park is home to many rare plants and animals and breathtaking scenery.
