luxembourg

Luxembourg was voted the City of Culture in 2007, a title designated by the European Union in order for a city to exhibit its cultural life on an international level. needless to say I sought to find a bit of this culture. what I found was an elegant little city which felt very manageable and lively without an air of pretension, though it happens to be one of the wealthiest in the world. Luxembourg is a country of under half a million people, many of whom come from neighboring Belgium, France and Germany, creating a large ex-pat community. ruled by a Grand Duke, it is the world's only remaining sovereign Grand Duchy. I was well charmed by this intimate city.
