We arrived in Luxembourg for 1 day by high-speed train from Brussels. In principle, there was enough time to walk around the city, go on a tour on the Hop-On Hop-Off bus, shop in the mall and eat somewhere.
Place Guillaume II is a very lively part of Luxembourg. Tourists walk here, locals hurry on business. Weekends include a farmers' market and a flower sale. Also on holidays, a stage is set up for various events and concerts, and at Christmas a Christmas market and a skating rink open.
You can get to the square from the Rue de Fosse shopping street. In the center of the square there is a statue of a man on a horse, which directly depicts Guillaume II - the King of the Netherlands and the Grand Duke of Luxembourg. The monument was created by two sculptors - Antonin Merci? sculpted Guillaume II, and Victor Peter - a horse.
In the south of the square you can see the city hall - the building of the city hall, made in the classical style and built in 1830 right on the site of an ancient monastery. Near the town hall there is a small fountain, decorated with a statue of a fox.
