About the country

One of the tiniest sovereign nations in Europe is the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The northern part of the country blesses with greenery and mountains. Ardennes offers a spectacular view. The government is small, and all tourist attractions are within reach. Luxembourg gets snow in the winter but not as cold as its neighbours, and the summer is hot and lasts from May to September. In case of emergency, call 112 or 113.
