Beyond the riverbanks, ancient forests give way to charming villages and hidden medieval wonders. Castles seemingly spring up around every bend here and tell the story of powerful Luxembourgish lords of old.
From hearty Luxembourgish national dishes to international delicacies, fans of fine dining will find a wealth of options inside of Luxembourg’s small borders. A long history of foreign influences along with the country’s current diverse population have contributed to a fascinating food scene that offers something for everyone.

Tiny Terrain
Luxembourg is just under 1,000 square miles. At its largest points it stretches only 51 miles long and 35 miles wide. Despite its diminutive size, this Grand Duchy boasts a surprisingly diverse population—49% of its people are foreigners. Common languages spoken include Portuguese, French, German, and the native Luxembourgish.


Luxembourg Wine
This tiny nation has produced wine for thousands of years. It ranks among the top three nations in Europe for wine consumption and produces some truly remarkable vintages. Luxembourg’s vineyards stretch along the Moselle river and grow an impressive variety of grapes for such a small region. Riesling is the best-known variety, but wine lovers will find many other unique wines to sample here.


Castles
Luxembourg’s prime spot in the heart of Europe means it was coveted by countless foreign powers over the centuries, many of whom built castles to stake their claim and defend their land. From expertly restored medieval masterpieces to majestic ruins, Luxembourg boasts dozens of castles from throughout the ages within its small borders.
