Luxembourg City, nestled in the petite country of Luxembourg. Luxembourg is like a miniature Switzerland, in regards to financial matters. This place is monied. In 2009, it was ranked as having the third-highest GDP per capita at ~ US$79,000. No surprise that Luxembourg is a banking and financial center.

Alaina and I were visiting Luxembourg in early November 2006. November 1, 2006 just happened to be the
Day of the Dead, so, the city was rather peaceful (i.e. quite, chill, empty streets). The
hostel we stayed at was nestled in a forest and was beautiful. Down comforters and beds that rival my own personal bed? Only in Luxembourg my friend. Click the link above to learn more about Luxembourg City Hostel.
So much history is found behind these stone walls. Even more history is found the more one explores. This place has got a little bit of everything -- history of the Romans, French Revolutionary Wars, German occupation, treaties galore, and more!
This link can say more than I ever could.
Fun Fact: The official languages of Luxembourg are Luxembourgish, French and German.
Enjoy Luxembourg!
