Traveling through Europe and heading to France, we had the pleasure of stopping by for a day in Luxembourg. The city met us with a beautiful viaduct, a grandiose stone bridge across the valley of the Petrus and Alzet Rivers. It is one of the oldest bridges, built in 1859. Everything was covered in bright greenery. And the most elegant symbol of Luxembourg is the view of the valley. In the center of the old town on Place Guillaume II is the city hall in a two-story neoclassical building. At the beginning of the 19th century, a Franciscan monastery was located on this site.
