Luxembourg City is the capital of a small landlocked country in Western Europe of which it shares the same name. It is also easily Luxembourg’s most populous and established city. This is despite covering an area of less than 20 square miles and being home to only around 115,000 people. The capital is the only real city in the country. The next most populated locations, Echternach and Clervaux are communes which technically have city status.
Despite its size, Luxembourg City is still viewed as a location of importance, located right in the heart of Western Europe. Its location is deemed as valuable and is why the city has continued to grow from being one of Europe’s most powerful cities in the 16th century.
Being landlocked, Luxembourg City has always been accessible from all directions, particularly by road from Belgium, France or Germany whose borders are 13 miles away to the west, 15 miles away to the south and around 30 miles to the east respectively.

Equally spectacular and a minutes walk away from the palace is the popular Notre Dame Cathedral, built in the 17th century. Just opposite the Adolphe Bridge too is the Monument of Remembrance.
