The grand finale - on its penultimate day, the Luxembourg Christmas market is covered in thick fog. But this weather creates a very fairytale atmosphere.
From 19 November 2021 to 2 January 2022, the capital of Luxemburg shines in the glow of thousands of lights, where you can dive right into a winter wonderland!
The Grund area is calm and still has the atmosphere of a small village. It is a really nice and historic place for a walk and an ideal place to stroll in Luxembourg. Located in a basin, you will have to go down via the Saint-Esprit lift or walking the small winding cobbled streets to reach it. But it’s worth it! Walking is the best way to savor the peace and tranquility of the neighborhood.
With its quiet and relaxing atmosphere, the Grund district is a great place to wander around, in both summer and winter, to enjoy the beautiful landscapes. It is surrounded by trees, stone buildings and ancient bridges. There, simply look up to enjoy a magnificent view of the green heights of the Ville-Haute or discover a detail on the historic buildings.

1975 Luxembourg morning
I arrived from London too late to find a decent priced hotel. I spread my sleeping bag below the weeping willow tree behind a church. This is what I saw when I awoke, people hurrying to work across the bridge through the fog. At that time, I was young, free and that morning felt so true and full of promise. I was 25.
The Grande-Duchesse Joséphine-Charlotte Concert Hall is a concert hall located in the City of Luxembourg. Opened in 2005, it now plays host to 400 performances each year. The intention of its architect Christian de Portzamparc was to mark the entrance into the world of music through a natural filter created with 823 facade columns made of white steel and arranged in three or four rows.

ENGLISH:
Vianden is a commune with town status in the Oesling, north-eastern Luxembourg, with over 1,800 inhabitants. It is the capital of the canton of Vianden, which is part of the district of Diekirch. Vianden lies on the Our river, near the border between Luxembourg and Germany.
The castle was built between the 11th and 14th centuries and became the seat of the counts of Vianden. It was further developed until the 18th century but with the departure of the Counts of Luxembourg to the Netherlands combined with the effects of fire and an earthquake, it slowly deteriorated. The final blow came in 1820 when William I of the Netherlands sold it to a local merchant who in turn sold off its contents and masonry piecemeal, reducing it to a ruin. There were several attempts at restoration but these were hampered by problems of ownership. Still, the chapel which forms part of it was restored in 1849 by Prince Henry of the Netherlands, and during one of his visits to the town Victor Hugo lived in the castle for three months in 1871. Not until 1977, when Grand Duke Jean ceded the castle to the State, was it possible to undertake large-scale work, most of which has now been completed.

ESPAÑOL:
Vianden (luxemburgués Veianen, alemán Vianden) es una comuna y villa al norte de Luxemburgo, que forma parte del cantón de Vianden. Su nombre proviene del galo y quiere decir rocoso. Es atravesado por el río Our y se encuentra cerca de la frontera con Alemania. En 1308 recibió el título de villa. Es uno de los principales centros turísticos de Luxemburgo con un gran número de turistas y visitantes locales en todo momento del año. En particular, el castillo recientemente restaurado ubicado espectacularmente en las rocas sobre la ciudad se ha convertido en un museo que rastrea su historia y sus vínculos con las familias reales de Europa desde la Edad Media. Tiene vínculos con Víctor Hugo, que visitó Luxemburgo en 1862 y 1865 y pasó un período más largo en Vianden en 1871.
