Luxembourg, European capital
Get familiar with the European vocation of the city of Luxembourg!
The tour offers a unique perspective on both historic and modern districts. In the European district on the Kirchberg plateau, you’ll explore key institutions of the European Union, including the Court of Justice of the European Union, the European Parliament, and the European Investment Bank.
Over the course of three hours, the tour also takes you through the city centre to the sites of European unification in the mid-20th century: this is where the idea of a European Coal and Steel Community took shape, where the first administrations had their temporary headquarters, and where European history was made.
