Moselle Valley

Moselle Valley

The Moselle Valley wine region spans France, Luxembourg, and Germany, with wineries closest to Luxembourg City located within less than a half-hour's drive from there. The scenic river valley offers abundant wine-tasting opportunities for Riesling and Elbling aficionados; tastings can be arranged at most local wineries, but contacting in advance to check for availability is recommended. If in doubt, try Caves du Sud in Remerschen, Caves St Martin or Caves Desom Saint-Remy in Remich, or Domaine Mathes and Domaine Alice Hartmann in Wormeldange. The region is also excellent hiking grounds, with hiking trails and cycling paths, with boat tours running along the Moselle.

Clervaux Castle

Clervaux Castle

Rebuilt entirely after being destroyed during WWII, Château de Clervaux is among the Duchy's most notable attractions. It contains a fascinating UNESCO-listed photography exhibition, Edward Steichen's 'Family of Man', which takes its origins at MoMA (Museum of Modern Art in New York) and has now found a permanent home at Clervaux. The two other on-site museums, one displaying scale models of Luxembourg's castles, and another dedicated to the WWII Battle of the Ardennes (which resulted in the original castle's annihilation), are also worth exploring.

Abbey of Echternach

Founded in the 7th century by St Willibrord, the patron saint of Luxembourg, the Abbey of Echternach contains a fascinating scriptorium — once the most important in Medieval Europe — in its cellar, with manuscripts dating as far back as the 11th century. Part of the abbey complex, the Basilica of Saint Willibrord contains a crypt with the saint's holy remains. A dancing procession that draws visitors from all over the world (Saint Willibrord Pageant) is held in the town annually on Whit Tuesday.
