Introduction
The city of Luxembourg is known as the landlocked “Gibraltar of the North” because of its once-fortified location. It is set
above the cliffs that flank the canyon-like valleys of the Alzette and Pétrusse rivers. Today, the city of Luxembourg is more
fairy tale than fortress. The old city, especially, is a pleasing mix of the past and present. Its elegant towers, spires
and turrets and its attractive walls of golden sandstone helped win Luxembourg the United Nations' designation of World Heritage
Site in 1994.
