Carpe diem, carpe noctem

Luxembourg : the city for clubbers and shoppers!

«…start your day with breakfast at Knopes. Continue your morning while sitting down a tree in the park and ready your favorite book. Follow your day by visiting the Mudam and its current exhibition…»

« … start with a relaxing cocktail at the Cat Club where you enjoy meeting your friends or colleagues. Drive down to the Grund for a fancy diner at the Brasserie Mansfeld. Still some energy left, then get wild at the White Bar…which is black by the way… »

Shopping

Located in a crossroads, Luxembourg has an old tradition of meetings. As a business city, Luxembourg has also a commercial tradition. Shake now both traditions and you’ll understand why luxury and reasonable price boutiques are next to each others!

Doing shopping in Luxembourg, you’ll either find good affairs downtown than in streets belonging to the centre. You’ll certainly be surprised with the refinement of small shops.

Finally, let you go to the Place d’Armes, Place Guillaume II or Place de Paris and savor a local beer or an Italian creamy cappuccino.

Leisure, Wellness

Mens sana in corpore sano!

…and in Luxembourg, this is more than a motto!

Imagine a huge sport center, with an Olympic pool, an athletic race track, a gymnasium and sauna at 10 minutes from PwC offices…so, you’re at d’Coque!

Imagine a Thermarium, with Roman and Turkish Ottoman baths. A place where you can also play at the Casino…so you’re in Mondorf-les-Bains.

Still imagine …a skating-rink, tennis courts, bowling, mini-golf, numerous footpaths for rambling and two restaurants at only 5 minutes from our offices…you’re at The Kockelscheuer!

Luxembourg offers you the possibility to do sport and to relax in really high quality centers….we only presented three centers…Think about the rest !

Sightseeing's

The country of Luxembourg is divided into 5 geographical different regions.

Luxembourg Capital … In the Capital, next to major places (Place d’Armes, Place Guillaume II), you can visit the Cathedral, the grand-ducal Palace and the Casemates. The “ville basse” is also inescapable! There, you’ll see the Grund and feel the ambiance of irish pubs.

... and surroundings : the surrounding countryside of the city is an unending feast of greenery with many orchards, small villages which kept their own character until today. On quiet roads through the Valley of the Seven Castles, from Koerich with its baroque church to Mersch on its traces of the past.

Luxembourg's Little Switzerland or Mullerthal Seated on the banks of the Sure, next to the famous abbey founded in the 7th century by St. Willibrord, Echternach is the ideal place to explore the Mullerthal! The culture of the Echternach monks and the knights of the region, in combination with an intact nature, invite the hiker to discover the charms of Luxembourg's Little Switzerland.

The Luxembourg Ardennes and their Natural Parks
High, forested plateaux, schistose rocks, wooded hills fringing hidden valleys, dressed in all colours in autumn and covered with broom in spring: an impressing view for everybody who visits the Luxembourg Ardennes. Once passed the gateway of the Ardennes beyond Ettelbruck or Diekirch, numerous castles and fortifications testimony the rich past of this region. The Luxembourg Ardennes are also the region of Natural Parks, the Upper-Sûre lake and the Our valley. Wiltz and Diekirch are charming brewery cities. The extremely diverse landscape of the Luxembourg Ardennes, also called the “Ösling”, is a challenge to mountain bike enthusiasts like none other. There are 15 well-signposted routes with a total length of 300 kilometres, crossing dense forests, traversing deep valleys.

“The Moselle”
In the vineyards along the Moselle between Schengen and Wasserbillig, an excellent wine matures. The famous Agreement of Schengen has given this small and quiet village a well-known name. Besides the season of vintage in autumn, Grevenmacher, Wormeldange, Remich and Remerschen are the ideal places to discover the numerous wine cellars, the small wine museums or to start to a boat-trip on the Moselle. Mondorf-les-Bains offers a beautiful park, a modern thermal health establishment!

“Les Terres Rouges”
The prosperity of the Grand-Duchy came from the Red Earth in which a mineral rich in iron was mined. The industrial patrimony testifys men’s activities of former times. In the abandoned quarries caused by men, nature took back what belonged to it. Esch-sur-Alzette, the second largest town in the country, has an established reputation as business centre and, thanks to its many artdeco houses, as an architectural gem.
