About A little break from my pictures taken through New Zealand..:)

The city of Luxembourg, despite the fact that it is rather small in size, is the administrative and cultural capital of the Grand Duchy, and constitutes an important local and regional point of attraction as well as being a European Capital in its own right. The international renown of the Grand Duchy and its capital may be mainly founded on banking, media and serving as host to crucial European institutions, but the more than 1,000-year-old city of Luxembourg also contains an important cultural and historical patrimony.
This was formally acknowledged in December 1994, when the historic core of the old town, as well as sections of the fortress still in good condition, was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO. One of the peculiarities of the old part of Luxembourg is the way in which a small area of space reveals a wondrously rich blend of contrasting architectural styles: this mixture steadily developed over five centuries under the influence of forever changing foreign occupations.
Old Town Luxembourg means cobbled streets, historical buildings, museums and art galleries blend with contemporary boutiques and outdoor cafés, giving the place a unique charm.

Hi dear Nicole,

Excellent impressive shot of a nice view from your beautiful city. I live in the south of Holland, so in 200 tille 250 km's we are at your place. Because of beautiful nature in Belgium Ardennes and specially in your country, you can imagine that we visit(ed) Belgium and Luxembourg many times, and we always enjoyed these trips (exception were those with longtime heavy rainfall).

Like the excellent reflection you show us. Your POV is also splendid, the combinated sensation of the reflection and the hight sensation brings a wonderful sensation to me as viewer. Teh old city of Luxembourg is wonderful, would like to visit it again or to live somewhere close to this city after being retired.

Warm greetz,
Albert Jacobs :)

Ich war bis Dato nur einmal in Lux, und ich war von der Schoenheit dieses Landes beeindruckt. Deine Bilder zeigen Luxemburg in voller Schoenheit. Ich muss wohl doch nochmal hin.
Sehr schoene Serie liebe Nicole.

Ça alors…Fabrice tu n’étais pas encore ici…alors il te manque quelque chose..LOL !!
Luxembourg n’est pas grand mais quand même très jolie…J’avais pris les photos quelque dimanche passé, et là le temps faisait bien..pour une fois
Nous on dit la « veille ville » pour cette endroit .Pas pour vivre là-bas, mais pour sortir, où pour bien manger.. :)
Je vais mettre encore quelques photos de Luxembourg comme ça t’as peut-être envie de venir ici…mais laisse moi le savoir, comme ca je peux te montrer les beautés de mon pays !!
Merci pour ton charmant commentaire et un bon dimanche a toi aussi, Nicole :)
