I can still remember the first time I visited this small but
very progressive country; it was in the fall of 1999 and the thought of me
visiting it again on the spring of 2012 made me really excited.
Moving southwards, the roads led us to the capital city,
Luxembourg, which is pretty much like other old cities in Europe consisting of
old and new sites. Luxembourg has a tumultuous history as shown in the remnants
of its past – the ruins of what used to be city of Luxembourg.
The old city is
situated in a deep valley and can be appreciated from the walls surrounding it.
I can’t tell which area is the best because each one has its own character and
bids a different story to tell. The aesthetically designed and built bridges connecting
one cliff to another add to the panoramic view of the city. From the walls, the
buildings together with the streets and other structures located on the valley
look like miniature village. Frankly, one day will definitely not be enough to
explore the old city in the valley. Outside the wall, the upper town provides
an equally exciting trip through its narrow streets and alleys.
