Luxembourg City is an amazingly scenic city to do a walking tour, especially in Autumn. We did a self-guided walking tour along the City Promenade to take in the best panoramic views of the city and surrounds. What we discovered literally took our breath away. This city is INSANELY beautiful in Autumn.
Luxembourg City Promenade Tour
In this VLOG we do a comprehensive tour of the City Promenade, following one of the published guided tour leaflets we found in our hotel, the Hotel Central Molitor in Luxembourg City.
Not only did this suggested walking tour show us the route to follow, it also gave us some brief notes on each of the attractions. The brochure, published by the Luxembourg City Tourist Office, stated that it is a 2 hour walk of 4km. From out hotel we ended up taking about 5 hours and walked 6km.
