Very walkable city, with plenty of streets with limited vehicular traffic. I had time for one museum, so I went to the City Museum and really enjoyed it, including the huge glass-walled elevator going between the three floors of very interesting and informative exhibits. I was happy with my choice of the Royal Luxembourg Hotel and the upgrade to a larger room in the private tower. Given the cold, rainy weather that day, I ate in the hotel restaurant (Amelys) and found the food and service exceptional, although expensive. Saturday morning I took a private guided walking tour, which I had arranged for through Viator. My very knowledgeable guide took me through the city to the great views (mentioned above), including the well-renowned elevator, the Cathedral, the fortifications, etc. She also knew her history well and shared stories along the way of the country’s growth, wartime experiences, the royal family’s history and connection to the people, and other interesting facts. The airport is extremely easy to navigate and was a short drive from the center of town.
