Monument of Remembrance

  • Luxembourg is not short in historical riches. The
    affluent nation has showcased plenty of ways they
    commemorate the events in history. One of these
    is the Golden Lady Monument aka Gelle Fra, or
    what is referred to by the world as the Monument
    of Remembrance. There are plenty of things to do
    in Monument of Remembrance. Dont forget to make
    it one of your stops as you explore the
    city.Standing on the constitution square, the
    monument was built in 1923. This was as tribute
    to the valiant people of Luxembourg who lost
    their lives in World War I. The memorial portrays
    a gold plated female on top of a stone obelisk.
    The monument was pulled down in 1940 by the
    Nazis. However in 1984 extensive restoration gave
    the monument back its original appearance. To
    this day Gelle Fra remains a symbol of resistance
    and Freedom for the people of Luxembourg.

Fort Thungen

  • Luxembourg had some of the best and most
    effective fortifications when it comes to old
    cities, and that is why we have great sites like
    Fort Thungen to visit. The fort has been
    repurposed into a museum and we would highly
    recommend putting this on your things to do list.
    The museum is called Musée Dräi Eechelen and
    tells the story of Luxembourg from 1443 and
    onwards. Most of the fortifications were
    destroyed but this fort has been reconstructed to
    house the museum.The museum in Fort Thungen is
    laid out in a very interesting manner. The aim of
    the museum was to tell the story of the city and
    it is done by dividing exhibits into era. The
    exhibits are then in different rooms. What
    basically happens is that the first room you
    enter starts the exhibition at 1443 and as you go
    into different rooms you go further in time as
    well. It is a great way to easily show the
    changes that happened in the city and tell the
    story in a linear manner. It also means that if
    you want to see something from a particular era
    you know where it is going to be located.

National Museum of history and art
7
  • The National Museum of History and Art is among
    the smaller museums we have been to, but that is
    because Luxembourg is itself so much smaller than
    any other place we have been to. The museum is a
    great place to go to, and the most surprising
    part of going there is how comprehensive the
    collection is. We would think since Luxembourg
    was so small it would be hard to have a lot of
    things in the museum, but the museum has an
    impressive collection of art from the history of
    Luxembourg.The building is simple but beautiful
    and very modern, since the museum was moved to
    this newly constructed building only in 2002.
    There was a roman settlement called Dalheim,
    where there are roman ruins dating to 2nd century
    AD and the findings from the ruins have
    contributed a lot to the National Museum of
    history and art in Luxembourg. Thus you will be
    able to see art thousands of years old, as well
    as art from much more recent times. The location
    of the museum is also great, as it is located
    right in the heart of the historical part of the
    city.

  • Its history is so rich that it is listed with
    UNESCO. Luxembourg is perched on top of a cliff.
    Beyond that you may explore rolling part forested
    hills that have a string of beguiling villages,
    each of these huddle attractively underneath
    beautiful medieval castles. You are bound to find
    something in all the things to do in Luxembourg.
    If you have already begun deciding where to go on
    your next summer adventure, a trip to Luxembourg
    is one destination you should not overlook.
    Located in Western Europe and bordered by
    countries Germany, France, and Belgium,
    Luxembourg offers a unique fusion of natural
    wonders and modern European architecture which
    are a joy to visit and explore. As a result,
    there are many places to visit in Luxembourg that
    you can enjoy with your family and friends,
    making it a great choice for your next tourist
    destination. One of the first places to visit in
    Luxembourg that you need to know about is the
    Bock. This is a natural fortification dating back
    several centuries, and over the years has been
    developed and redeveloped multiple times due to
    the number of times it has been attacked and
    damaged. Visiting this site in the district of
    Luxembourg City will provide you the chance to
    explore European military history in a new light.
