Luxembourg – Luxembourg

Nestled between some of Europe’s giant nations is the second smallest of all the European Unions, the small country of Luxembourg. This place ahs a masterful capitol city that is a strategic location. Located in western Europe, this small place boasts big beauty. This tiny place is one of the three richest countries in the world. This country did not gain independence until 1867.

The climate in this extremely gorgeous place can reach very hot in the summer and extremely cold in the winter. This extreme change allows for dramatic fall displays. This old and rustic feeling place has some if it’s original structures still in place. These structures are a beauty all in themselves but added with all the natural beauty in the town it becomes truly exceptional. Not a cheap trip but definitely one worth making. This is a great place for anyone that wants to be in awe their entire vacation.
