Famous Landmarks
Bock Casemates
49.6116°N, 6.1319°E
The Bock Casemates, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994, are a 17-kilometre network of underground galleries carved into the Bock rock from 1644. These fortifications, nicknamed the 'Gibraltar of the North', could shelter 35,000 soldiers and their horses. Today, they offer spectacular views of the Grund and the Alzette Valley.
Grand Ducal Palace
49.6116°N, 6.1319°E
The Grand Ducal Palace, official seat of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, is an elegant Renaissance building constructed in 1573 as a town hall. Its facade adorned with Moorish motifs and its richly decorated interiors attest to the Grand Duchy's prosperity. The changing of the guard each summer draws visitors before this symbol of the Luxembourg monarchy.
Pont Adolphe
49.6116°N, 6.1319°E
The Pont Adolphe, opened in 1903, is a 153-metre stone viaduct spanning the Pétrusse Valley at a height of 42 metres. Named after Grand Duke Adolphe, it links the old town to the Gare district. At the time of its construction, it was the world's largest stone arch bridge. Illuminated at night, it offers one of Luxembourg's most iconic views.
Why gift a star map of Luxembourg City?
Gifting a star map of Luxembourg means immortalising a moment in one of Europe's smallest and most elegant countries. From the Chemin de la Corniche — 'Europe's most beautiful balcony' — to the cobblestone lanes of the Grund, every Luxembourg star carries the memory of a city where three languages, a thousand years of history and a serene firmament converge.
The sky of Luxembourg City
At 49.6° north latitude, Luxembourg City enjoys long, clear winter nights ideal for observing circumpolar constellations. Its small size and proximity to the Ardennes countryside provide dark skies just a few kilometres from the centre. The Nationalmusée um Fëschmaart features an astronomical section tracing the history of celestial observation in the Grand Duchy.
