Discover the natural spaces of Luxembourg City
With more than a quarter of its surface area occupied by green spaces, Luxembourg City is ideal for walks. Green and full of surprises, the capital invites you to discover the most beautiful places strolling through its parks, valleys and along its rivers.
Pétrusse Park
The Pétrusse Park is the green lung of Luxembourg City and is nestled in the heart of the city, separating the railway station district from the upper town. Discover this verdant valley for more than a kilometer along the stream that gave its name to the valley: the Pétrusse. Here you can admire amazing rock formations as well as the fortifications built by Vauban, a famous 17th-century French engineer and military architect. Vauban transformed Luxembourg into one of the most powerful fortresses in Europe, earning it the nickname "Gibraltar of the North".
