A Walk Through Luxembourg: History Meets Modernity

Luxembourg is a small country with a big heart for culture! :sparkling_heart: With three official languages—Luxembourgish, French, and German.
Walking through Luxembourg feels like stepping into a storybook. :scroll::european_castle: The Casemates du Bock, an intricate network of tunnels carved into rock, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site that whispers tales of medieval times.

And then there’s the iconic Vianden Castle, perched high on a hill, offering sweeping views of the lush valley below. :national_park: This place is a testament to Luxembourg’s deep-rooted history and its role in European development.

Can you imagine exploring a country without worrying about transportation costs? :oncoming_bus::metro: Well, in Luxembourg, it’s a reality! Public transport—buses, trams, and trains—is free for everyone.

Strolling through Luxembourg, you can’t help but notice how spotless everything is. :sparkles: From the cobbled streets of the Old Town to the bustling city center, cleanliness is everywhere.

But it’s not just the streets—it’s the spirit of the people too! :blush: Luxembourgers are known for their friendliness and high quality of life. Maybe it’s the clean air, scenic views, or the sense of community that makes everyone here so cheerful.

Luxembourg was my 14th country. At this point, I’ve been to 20 different countries.

Schengen, a charming village in southeastern Luxembourg, holds immense historical significance despite its small size. :earth_africa: Located at the tri-border area where Luxembourg, Germany, and France meet, it is famously known as the birthplace of the Schengen Agreement (1985), which laid the foundation for borderless travel across much of Europe.
