The monument is topped by a lion, the heraldic animal of the Grand Duchy, while the blacksmith incarnates the steel industry.

The pillar contains a chiselled inscription, the wording of which is the motto of the Luxembourgers: “Mir wëlle bleiwe wat mir sin” (we want to remain what we are).

  • Equestrian Statue of William II - Place Guillaume II is a town square in Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg. The square lies to the west of Krautmaart and to the north of Boulevard Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the heart of Luxembourg’s historic Ville Haute quarter. It is colloquially known as Knuedler, from the Luxembourgish language’s word for ‘knot’, referring to the knot in the belt worn by Franciscan friars.

The western half of the square is dominated by Luxembourg City Hall in the southwest, whilst the equestrian statue to former Grand Duke William II, after whom the square is named, is the prominent feature of the eastern half.[1] Much of the square is ringed with trees, narrowing the open area (particularly around the statue).

  • Statue of Charlotte, Grand Duchess of Luxembourg - The monument to Grand Duchess Charlotte is a bronze statue designed by the French sculptor Jean Cardot (* 1930) and placed on Clairefontaine Square in 1990 in honor of the former Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg (1895–1985), sovereign from 1919 to 1964 was established in Luxembourg (city) .

Officially inaugurated on April 29, 1990 in the presence of the grand ducal family, the 2.75 m high work of art stands on a flat, round base, which in turn rests on a plate-shaped base.

The figure, executed in simplified forms, is shown wrapped in a wide cloak from which the right arm protrudes with the palm of the hand turned to the sky as if in greeting. Since this gesture could also be interpreted as a begging hand, the monument is also nicknamed “ Heeschefraa “ (beggar woman) in the vernacular .

  • Grand Ducal Palace - The Grand Ducal Palace is a palace in Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg. It is the official residence of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, and where he performs most of his duties as head of state of the Grand Duchy.

The building was first the city hall of Luxembourg from 1572 to 1795, the seat of the prefecture of the Département des Forêts in 1795, and then the headquarters of the Luxembourg Government in 1817.

  • Église Saint-Michel - It is the oldest holy building in the city, replacing the castle chapel of the Counts of Luxembourg placed on the same site in 987.

In the course of the centuries the church was destroyed several times, but always reconstructed, altered and extended.

Its present appearance goes back to 1688, although it was of course restored in the 60s and the 80s.

In view of its turbulent history, it combines elements of Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque architecture.

  • Le Chemin de la Corniche - Also called “the most beautiful balcony of Europe” (according to the Luxembourg writer Batty Weber), it runs along the Alzette valley on the ramparts - built by the Spaniards and the French in the 17th century - from the Bock Promontory up to the lower part of the Holy Ghost Citadel, the so-called “Rondellen”.

Up to the year 1870 the Corniche had staircases in steep parts which were levelled off only after the dismantling of the fortress. Moreover the greatest part of the protecting wall with its loopholes was cleared away so as to disclose a superb panorama on the valley of the Alzette, the city district of Grund and the Rham Plateau.

  • Restaurant Mosconi - One of the most popular restaurants in Luxembourg City with over 4* reviews of Tripadvisor
  • Melusina statue - Melusine (French: [melyzin]) or Melusina is a figure of European folklore and mythology, a female spirit of freshwater in a sacred spring or river. She is usually depicted as a woman who is a serpent or fish from the waist down (much like a mermaid). She is also sometimes illustrated with wings, two tails, or both. Her legends are especially connected with the northern and western areas of France, Luxembourg, and the Low Countries. The House of Luxembourg (which ruled the Holy Roman Empire from AD 1308 to AD 1437 as well as Bohemia and Hungary), the House of Anjou and their descendants the House of Plantagenet (kings of England) and the French House of Lusignan (kings of Cyprus from AD 1205–1472, and for shorter periods over Armenia and Jerusalem) are said in folk tales and medieval literature to be descended from Melusine.
  • Alzette - The tour ends on a bridge above the Alzette River.

Entertaining tour through Luxembourg - We used the game for a guided city tour. It is easy to access with a simple menu navigation. Book via the link on Tripadvisor. Additional app and access required. Then the game is ready within 5 minutes. The German menu navigation is a bit cumbersome in places, but in our opinion it doesn't spoil the fun of the game. - The level of difficulty is very low, exploring the city is the main focus. We were relaxed and also looked at the sights. This kept us busy for about 3 hours. It was fun, the background information provided was particularly helpful. The end of the game takes the group to a really great place.

Fun thing to do with friends - We went to Luxembourg on a day trip with our class, and had to find our own activities to document. Randomly stumbled upon this game and decided to book it, and it was so much fun! We got to see the city from perspectives we didn’t know about, and learn more about Lux. Definitely recommend, a bit tricky in heavy rain (as on our trip) but still very much fun.

Great introduction to Luxembourg - We saw so much of this amazing city. The only caution is that gps mapping twice put us UNDER a bridge we were supposed to be ON! Still a wonderful way to experience this beautiful city.

City center - Apartment was extremely well furnished. 12 minute walk from the train station. Good location in city center near bars and restaurants. Luxembourg provides free transportation on buses which is a wonderful benefit to travel around the city. Apartment owner was very fast to reply to all requests and questions. Note that this apartment requires climbing two flights of steps (approx 48 stairs). Also bring your own shower amenities as none are provided

To do again in other places without hesitation - Discovering the city while answering little riddles was the perfect combo to satisfy a family with two children aged 10 and 13. The "did you know" allows you to learn a little more about the city's moments and history to find Mélusine, very nice

Explore Luxembourg in a fun way. - A nice route, with nice questions, but a pity that it is not in Dutch. Then it would be easier for us to follow.

City Exploration Game Luxembourg City - Very nice to do if you're not familiar with Luxembourg City. The experience to do it with the app, is very nice. You have to answer some questions and follow the app/game. Unfortunately we missed the 3rd last question and we couldn't go further with the game. Instead of the game we went for the little train trip through Luxembourg.

There was not enough... - There was not enough information/history of the city on this tour. It would be nice to be able to start even if you are not at the starting place so that you can get a preview of what is coming or join back after you take a break.
