Why explore Luxembourg City with a self-guided city game
Luxembourg City grew around a mighty fortress on a rocky plateau above the Alzette and Pétrusse valleys, and its old quarters and fortifications are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Bock Casemates are tunnels carved into the rock, the Grand Ducal Palace is the Grand Duke’s official town residence, and St Michael’s Church stands on the city’s oldest religious site.
A self-guided city game gives you more freedom than a guided tour. You choose the start time, the pace and the order of the stops, and you can pause for a coffee and carry on later. The riddles make you look closely at façades and statues, and the stories explain what you just found.
- Public transport across Luxembourg is free of charge, so reaching the start at the Dicks-Lentz Monument by bus or tram is easy.
- Start the escape game in daylight, because its puzzles rely on details of buildings and monuments.
- Every stop is seen from outside, so you need no entry tickets.
