Luxembourg City

Do you know anyone who’s been to Luxembourg? If not, you do now because Ted and I have been there. Luxembourg City, the capital, is described as “one of Europe’s most intimate and compact cities.” (Translation: small town.)

We didn’t stay in the city very long, but we had time for a quick lunch (McDonald’s!) and a nice walk around the downtown area.

Look, look! It’s Schroeder Joailliers in Luxembourg City! The sign says they’ve been here since 1877, not too long before Ted’s great-grandparents emigrated to the U.S. Did the family leave a branch of their jewelry business behind in Luxembourg?

We saw this American Vintage store in Luxembourg City. I didn’t recognize any of the styles from my personal wardrobe history.

Along the pedestrian promenade, the view of the fortress ramparts and the river canyon has been called “Europe’s most beautiful balcony.”
