Upon arrival, we strolled through Luxembourg City, marveling at the way it’s split by a deep, green valley that runs right through the center. Walking along the winding paths of the city’s valley park, we were surrounded by lush greenery, picturesque views, and the tranquility of nature juxtaposed with the cityscape above.

Our first real break of the day was lunch at Scott’s Pub, a cozy spot with a terrace overlooking the river. The warm sunlight flooded the terrace, making it an ideal setting to unwind with good food and refreshing drinks.

After lunch, we made our way back to the train station and hopped on a train heading north to Diekirch, a small town known for its brewery of the same name. Sampling the local beer was a highlight, not because it was a specially good beer, but beer is always beer 🍺 .

On the return journey, we briefly stopped in Ettelbruck noticing that most of the stores was closed. However we found a place to stop for a drink before boarding the train back to Luxembourg City, where we caught a bus to the airport. At the airport, we received a notification that our plane was about 30 minutes delayed, potentially putting us at risk of missing our connecting flight in Zurich. However, fortune was on our side: we made it just in time and were soon on our final leg home.

Within a couple of hours, we were back in Stockholm, bringing an end to an unforgettable day of exploration, relaxation, and a taste of Luxembourg’s unique charm.

Final Thoughts

From the scenic landscapes to the vibrant city life, Luxembourg had so much to offer in a single day. Whether it’s a walk through the valley parks, a drink by the river, or a taste of the local beer, this small country packs in experiences that leave a lasting impression.
