Summary
The Grand
Duchy of Luxembourg is a beautiful country full of stories to tell and these
stories are best known through the streets, meadows, gardens of this country.
Luxembourg located in the center of Europe more exactly between France,
Germany, Belgium, being thus a strategic point of European geopolitics.
Historically Luxembourg has gone through the hands of several empires such as
the Roman, Franco, Austrian and some countries such as Spain, France, the
Netherlands, Belgium and these have had dominion of this geographical boundary.
But Luxembourg, with the signature of some treaties, became an independent
dukedom, and since this event, the country has become one of the richest
countries in the region.
Luxembourg
has several amazing places for foreigners as its wonderful architecture that is
composed of colonial houses, picturesque gardens, narrow streets, castles and
all the places previously mentioned have their touch of fairy tales in which
really in a beautiful place. There are specific places in this country such as
The Old City of Luxembourg designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in
1994; The district of Kirchberg, where can found the modernity and contemporary
art of Luxembourg, the Ardennes of Luxembourg is a very green, natural place
and it is a fantastic place full of typical flora of the region; The castle of
Bourscheid is excellent place for an excursion through villages near to the
ruins of the castle; Larochette with its two partially reconstructed castles
and its picturesque streets that tell its past as a textile zone; Walferdange
Castle was the residence of the Grand Duchy in the 19th century.
The culture
in Luxembourg is very influenced by the other countries that had dominion over
this small country, the best example of this is that Luxembourg has three
official languages that are French, German, Luxembourgish and these languages
have different uses in the country. French is used very often in
administrative and official tasks and is taught in primary school, German is
taught in high school and is used in politics and finally Luxembourgish is the
most colloquial language and is understood to be mother language. But for this
reason, Luxembourg has been a culturally rich country throughout the history,
not counting the architecture that was addressed previously, there are branches
of Luxembourgish culture that shine like they are: music, painting and
photography. In the city of Luxembourg abounds museums, concert halls,
theaters, art galleries where citizens appreciate and strengthen their culture.
And clearly it cannot be fail to mention the culinary of Luxembourg has its
origins in the cuisine of France, Germany, Belgium basically for its
relationship with this country over time, but Portuguese and Italian cuisine
have taken a important role, being that there are a considerable number of
migrants of these nationalities. Cakes, cheeses and fried fish are among the
many delights found in Luxembourg.
What should
be highlighted is if you are interested in traveling to Luxembourg with family
or friends, the trip will be expensive and more if you travel from a country
like Colombia. Our team made two budgets for three people of what could cost
the plane tickets, lodging, food, leisure. Being one of the budgets, the most
modest possible and the other budget, the most ostentatious. The first quote
gave around US $ 5,410 and the second quote gave around US $ 47,210. As can be
seen in the previous comparison the difference is overwhelming, we are talking
about 41,800 US dollars, not all people can paya that, only people who are in
the highest salary average and at this point is where we as a group say that
"luxury pays luxury".
