The remains of the Luxembourg fortress, Citadelle du St-Esprit and Dent Creuse, are remarkable in the eyes of tourists as a building that stores history. At some point in time, battles were fought in this building between the French, the Flemish, the Germans, the Dutch – in short, this is barely what was left of the former power of the once great Luxembourg fortress. A walk beside the building will bring you only pleasant impressions – it is not every day that one gets the opportunity to walk around a building with such a story. La Passerelle, built in the middle of the 19th century, is another architecturally interesting structure worth visiting. Looking at this bridge, you involuntarily start remembering something magical.
Place des Martyrs is a great place for walking, because this is like a real journey into the past. It was named in honor of the warriors of Luxembourg who died during wars. You can bring flowers here in memory of them. The square itself is surrounded by beautiful buildings. The square is called Rousegäertchen by the common people, due to the fact that there are a lot of flowers here brought by people, in remembrance of the fallen heroes. Furthermore, due to this fact, the city is also called the rose capital of Europe. Another great place for a historic walk would be Le Chemin de la Corniche.
