Author Tim Skelton’s unique and much praised guide is the only one to focus solely on Luxembourg and fills an otherwise conspicuous gap in the market. Tim is a Luxembourg aficionado respected for his insider knowledge, and is a recognized writer not just on travel, but also on food and drink, both integral parts of the Luxembourg experience. Tourism to this unique and slightly quirky destination remains buoyant, with a mix of both leisure and business travelers visiting regularly, not least for the many institutions of the EU with offices here. Home to the rolling forests of the Ardennes, hill-top medieval castles, two entries on UNESCO Heritage Listings, and one of Europe's smallest wine-growing regions, and offering everything from first-class accommodation and Michelin-starred restaurants, to hiking and youth hostelling, this thoroughly updated brand new edition provides in-depth tips to suit every taste and budget.
This magnificent guide book of 240 pages may be the only one dedicated solely to Luxembourg. In the past I have seen one published by Michelin, but it was nowhere near this good. Other guide books allot 20 to 40 pages buried in the back of books on Belgium or The Netherlands. It is filled with numerous helpful maps, excellent descriptions on hundreds of sights and attractions, beautiful photos, and helpful contact information and times of operations. Luxembourg was the scene of much of the Battle of the Bulge in World War II. It has a very large number of memorials to our American troops and General George Patton. It is home to Hamm Cemetery, where the General and over 5,000 of our troops are buried, the largest piece of US soil outside our country. It is also one of the three headquarters countries for the European Union. I highly recommend this book for anyone traveling to this area of Europe, especially to someone of Luxembourg ancestry.
