Fine food, nightlife

Food and wine are huge things in Luxembourg. At a cross-roads between France, Belgium and Germany, Luxem-bourg’s food heritage is rich and diverse. Prepared with many local products, Luxembourgish food is generous and fit for gourmet queens and kings. However, the country’s adopted food traditions from all around the world and you should have no problems find-ing exotic treats to please your taste buds. Luxembourg is also famous for its wines. Along Moselle Valley, vineyards produce fine red, white and sparkling wines. You can visit Luxembourg’s wineries all year long but we recommend to do so during one of the various wine festivals. We guarantee you’ll become a wine expert after that! To wrap it all up, how about a crazy night partying in the best bars and clubs? Luxembourg-city has two main ar-eas for nightlife: Clausen and the old district around the Great-Duke’s palace. In these areas, you’ll find music for all tastes as well as tons of different events to make friends and dive even deeper into Luxembourg’s infinite opportunities for having a great time.

And in the Spring, why not challenge yourself with Luxembourg marathon? Good news: even if you’re not a jogging fan, this event is in fact an excuse for a huge event in Luxembourg-city with music bands, food trucks and stalls, and public dancefloors round every corner!
