Ian and I decided to visit Luxembourg during the Easter weekend. It took us about 3.5 hours to drive there on Saturday morning. The weather wasn't too bad when we left home but the near we got to Luxembourg the worse the weather got. We had booked to stay at Le Grand Ducal hotel so we headed straight there so we could park the car. The hotel was lovely and we had a stunning view out over the Petrusse Valley into the old town from our room.
As it was raining we decided that the best thing to do would be to take a sight-seeing bus tour which lasted about an hour. To be honest after the bus tour I was feeling a bit undecided about Luxembourg, there just didn't seem to be much to it and the highlight of the tour was the financial district. We wandered around for a little bit after the tour but it was so cold and rainy that we headed back to the hotel pretty soon.
After breakfast the next morning we decided to head down into the Petrusse valley and risk a walk around, it was still raining on and off but not as bad as the previous day. And finally we found a really picturesque part of Luxembourg!
I think that the roads down into the valley were too narrow, steep and winding for the bus so that was why we missed it the day before. We managed to wander around for a while before it started to rain again.
I'm pretty sure that Luxembourg would have been much more interesting if it hadn't rained so much and been slightly warmer. Maybe one day we'll venture back that way but only after we check the weather forecast first!
