Vianden, Luxembourg

6/11/2017

Summary

Airport Rating N/A
Reception of locals *****
Cost: ££££

Either one hour's journey by train and bus, or half an hour by car
Probably the only non-white person in the whole of the town during my visit
Locals were friendly and helpful, the town jaw-droppingly beautiful
Flights/train are cheap but cost while out there is expensive
The commune/town dates back to Roman times, although the castle was built substantially later
Main Sights: Vianden Castle, the Bell tower, Church of the Trinitarians, chairlifts

During my short visit to central Europe, Vianden was probably the most beautiful place that I came across, eclipsing even the beauty of Luxembourg City's old town. I only spent an afternoon in the town (there's not too much to do) but it was definitely an afternoon well spent.

Airport Rating *****
Reception of locals ****

Airport security were incredibly respectful of my salai
Despite 40% of the population being foreign born it isn't very ethnically diverse so expect some stares
Luxembourg city has a lot of history and is naturally scenic, however it is the size of a small English town, so there isn't too much to do
Cheap to get there, fairly expensive while out there
Main Sights: Le Chemin de la Corniche, Grund, Casemates du Bock, Palais Grand Ducal, Notre Dame Cathdral, Pfaffenthal Lift

Every so often I will type in 'Everywhere' into the departure form on Skyscanner and search for the cheapest tickets abroad. Tickets can be as low £15 and combined with a stay in a hostel, you can have a weekend away cheaper than a meal in London. It also gives me a chance to go to places I wouldn't usually consider and Luxembourg definitely falls into this category.
