Luxembourg

Luxembourg shaped its destiny as one of the «Capitals of Europe» not only through its central geographical location in the heart of Europe but also through its multi-lingualism. Apart from «Luxembourgish», now the official language, French and German are also widely employed in the same function. Moreover, in the last 20 years, Luxembourg has developed into a powerful financial center with its 168 financial institutions. This international momentum confers the city a cosmopolitan flair that is stunning in view of its size. Despite this intense political and economic progress, the city has maintained an atmosphere of contemplative tranquillity. The vast green spaces in the Pétrusse Valley and the City Gardens as well as the historical city center listed as World Heritage by UNESCO, transformed almost completely into a pedestrian zone, provide the visitor with leisure, cultural experience and comfortable shopping.
