This entire tour is a never ending "photo op", with a scene that you'll want to capture in photograph presenting itself at every turn. The private guided "View from the Ramparts" tour of Luxembourg City is an unforgettable experience that includes some of the most amazing views you'll ever witness.

The capital city of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is perched high above the Petrusse and the Alzette Rivers and fortified by steep, defensive walls standing since the 10th century. Lofty bridges span the rivers and overlook the deep river gorges, and the Old City of Luxembourg s built along the ramparts. Some of the best views in the world can be enjoyed during a private guided tour in Luxembourg City:

• The Grand Ducal Palace: It is difficult to choose which direction to look when visiting the Grand Ducal Palace overlooking the dramatic gorges, soaring bridges and various complex levels of the city ramparts. This magnificent palace date from the 1500s, with an interior as beautifully decorated as its impressive facade.
• The Passerelle: An equally spectacular vista is beheld both from atop the Passerelle and from a distance looking toward the structure also called the Luxembourg Viaduct and the Old Bridge. It was built over the Petrusse Valley in 1859 to connect the city to the railway station.
• Pont Adolphe: Also crossing high above the Petrusse River, the Adolphe Bridge is also called the New Bridge, even though it's over 100 years old. Pont Adolphe is an unofficial symbol of independence for Luxembourg and one of the city's most popular tourist attractions.
• Grand Duchess Charlotte Bridge: The Red Bridge, as it's also known, opened in 1966, crossing the Alzette River and becoming the main route to connect Ville Haute, the city center, to Kirchberg and the European Union organizations.

Dramatic scenery and spectacular beauty abounds throughout Luxembourg City, and your private guide in Luxembourg will show you many amazing sites and attractions during your View from the Ramparts Tour of the City of Luxembourg.
