“You’re going where?” Benelux!

Everyone questioned my decision to visit Luxembourg.  This small country doesn’t appear on most people’s radars.  As always going against the grain, I decided to team Luxembourg and Belgium together for another foray into mainland Europe.

Chocolate box…

  • Visit Luxembourg City, perhaps the most beautiful European capital I have visited.  The old city is built on a hill for defence purposes with thick surrounding walls.  Below is a canal, a river and the Grund – a UNESCO listed gathering of houses built in a forgotten time. Sadly aside from the beauty of the city, there is little else for tourists.
  • Immerse yourself in Brussels’ cartoon trail.  Several famous characters hail from Belgium including The Smurfs and Tin-tin.  In celebration of this rich history several huge cartoons are painted on buildings throughout the city.  Hunt out these awesome sketches and ignore the famous disappointing Manneken Pis (boy peeing statue).
