VisitLuxembourg.TV Luxembourg city - Vlog 10 Luxembourg

Luxembourg was SPECTACULAR! There was so much to see it was hard to cram it all into a video. The city of Luxembourg was founded in 963 CE so there are a LOT of really cool old buildings/ruins all over the place. Surrounding the old city there is a deep gorge which is overlooked by fortifications and the old stone city wall. I was amazed at how clean the city was and how easy it was to find a quiet little enclave without any other tourists... very peaceful. The whole city is basically a beautifully maintained park... no wonder it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site!!!

www.ceepackaging.com http www.youtube.com Second part of a two part film The city centre occupies a picturesque site on a salient, perched high atop precipitous cliffs that drop into the narrow valleys of the Alzette and Pétrusse rivers, which find their confluence at Luxembourg City. The 70 m deep gorges cut by the rivers are spanned by many bridges and viaducts, including the Adolphe Bridge, the Grand Duchess Charlotte Bridge, and the Passerelle. Although Luxembourg City is not particularly large, its layout is complex, as the city is set on several levels, straddling hills and dropping into the two gorges. n the Roman era, a fortified tower guarded the crossing of two Roman roads that met at the site of Luxembourg city. Through an exchange treaty with the abbey of Saint Maximin in Trier in 963, Siegfried I of the Ardennes acquired the feudal lands of Luxembourg. Siegfried built his castle, named Lucilinburhuc ("small castle"), on the Bock Fiels ("rock"). The city, for reasons of its location and natural geography, has through history been a place of strategic military significance. The first fortifications were built as early as the 10th century. In about 1340, new fortifications were built that stood until 1867. In the 17th century, the first casemates were built; initially, Spain built 23 km of tunnels, starting in 1644] These were then enlarged under French rule by Marshal Vauban, and augmented again under Austrian rule in the 1730s and 1740s. During the French...
