The beauty of the city is perhaps its steep rocky terrain connected through numerous beautiful bridges. The stone arch
Adolphe Bridge is one of the finest examples built over the Pétrusse river.

The city is small enough to explore within a day or can be stretched over a weekend to include the nearby Vianden Castle.
A visit to the
Casemates du Bock is a must, with its amazing 17th century fortifications and breathtaking views of the Alzette valley. It is indeed the most visited tourist attraction of Luxembourg.

The complex underground tunnels of casemates is over 17km long with spectacular views of the city. The viewing platform along the fortification is popularly known as
Chemin de la Corniche, the "most beautiful balcony of Europe". It offers panoramic views of the Alzette valley along with the Neumünster abbey and the St John’s church.
