Chateau of the Counts of Luxembourg- Perched on a jutting promontory known as the Bock, the castle of the counts of Luxembourg dates to 963. Ravaged by fire in 1459, the ruins of the castle were incorporated into a new system of fortifications at the Bock. The Casemates- The casemates are a labyrinth of defensive passageways that helped forge Luxembourg's impressive military reputation. The first underground tunnels were built in 1644, in the era of Spanish domination. Tour of the Valley of the Seven Castles- The real name of the Valley of the Seven Castles is the Valley of the Eisch River. This small triangular area north-west of Luxembourg City is home to one of Europe's most scenic and spectacular concentrations of castles. The Grand Ducal Palace- The Grand Ducal Palace was constructed between 1572 and 1574 as a town hall in the Spanish Renaissance style. It went on to become the Prefecture and the seat of government before being converted in 1890 into a Grand Ducal Palace by the State Architect Charles Arendt and by Brussels architect Bordian. The Petrusse Express- A special open-air tourist train called the 'Petrusse Express' offers frequent guided tours through the Petrusse Valley, giving visitors an insight into life in the former fortress, with commentaries in several languages. The train departs from underneath one of the arches of the Pont Adolphe viaduct. The Moselle Valley- the Moselle Valley is Luxembourg's vineyard and winery region. The gentle slopes on both sides of the Moselle River are covered in vineyards. Step into the region's wineries and they'll take you on a guided tour and explain just how their still and sparkling wines are made. National Museum of Art and History- This museum on Marché-aux-Poissons showcases interesting archaeological, geological, and historical exhibits as well as the superb Bentinek-Thyssen Collection of works of art by 15th to 18th-century Low Countries artists such as Rubens, Van Dyck, Breughel, Rembrandt and others.
