It’s free but it’s shit. I live out on the western border and the trains go one an hour. One per hour. That’s ridiculous. I’d rather pay and have a better service.
@@alexiosblake9804 you must live with your head up your arse if you don’t réalisé how bad the public transport system is. There isn’t even a train to the airport even though there is a station built under the airport and you only have to make a 1.5km connection from Cents Hamm station to the airport.
@@valueinvestor77 hahaha you said I basically live in the Sahara....I live in luxembourg city and around all the city the little nauighbourhoods and the buses come every 10 minutes from everywhere to everywhere so I don't know what you are saying
The best thing about Luxembourg is the Luxembourgish people, they are very friendly. Been living here for 18 years and I have nothing bad to say about them, just nice things.
"chirp, chirp, chirp" or how we would say "piep, piep, piep" Well, this situation brought back a child memory, when an 'uncle' of me (well, he was a neighbour of my grandparents, but we use to say uncle to well known and loved family friends) had me in his arms an thought me something about birds, how they are named, look like and how they sound. He was very brilliant in whistling with his mouth replicating dozens of bird noises like they were real. Sadly he isnt with us anymore, but luckily those memories are still there and make me smile like a kid.
Luxembourg was one of the countries that I went in 2019 and I absolutely loved it. Also best bakeries. Luxembourg is one of my favorite countries that I have ever been and one that I will definitely go back again. Thank you for making this video watching this video was all flash back from that trip for me. Thanks a gain
I am glad that you enjoyed your stay, even though visited Luxemburg during wintertimes. Luxembourg is just beautiful. Both the old town and the entire country. In summer, i recommend a walk in the "Grund" or a visit to an open-air concert in the Neumünster Abbey. In late summer the so-called Schueberfouer (a big fair) is organized in Luxembourg City. The Müllerthal is ideal for hikes. The „Schießentümpel“ is a must see. The Castle in Vianden is worth the visit aswell. I'm really happy that I live only 30 minutes away and can therefore take a trip to Luxembourg quite often. 😊
"Merci daat der eist klengt Ländchen besicht huet an een Video doriwwer gemacht hudd" That was Luxembourgish for: thanks for visiting our little country and that you made a video of it. Side note: at the castle of Bourglinster, you can find the current best vegan restaurant in the world :)
Do not forget Clervaux with the world famous photo exhibition from Edward Steichen "Family of Men". And than if you want to wander a bit of the beaten track, try Chateaus like "Schüttburg" or "Bourscheid". For hiking I recommend also the aera around the Lake "Esch / Sure".
In Vianden in the street at the foot of the castle there's an inn called Auberge Aal Veinen Beim Hunn. They serve incredible wood grilled steaks. The best I've ever eaten. Nowadays it's hard to reserve a table. It's so popular that you'll have to reserve weeks in advance. It's a four hour drive from where I live so eating out at the auberge requires an overnight stay.
Yes, it's kind of misty and dark at that time of year. Try to go again in the brighter months. You did have one advantage - no-one in the background. In summer, they're swarming!!
Really nice to see that you're in Luxembourg. Very beautiful city, especially in the christmas season. I'm from Saarland, it is next to Luxembourg and France. I hope you are going to visit us as well. Saarlouis, Saarbrücken and the Saarschleife are very famous in our region. Would be very nice to see you there in a video. :D
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Just for fun: Fuel up! Honestly, normally Luxemburg is by far the cheapest place in western europe to buy fuel. (and maybe coffee) :) Letzeburgisch is their language and might be considered as german dialect. But for us it always seemed like: Everyone speaks perfect (High) German and French. And likely also English.
Interesting! We didn’t know that, but fun to learn they have some of the cheapest fuel in Western Europe. It’s true, we heard French and German as well and they all sounded fluent (not like we are experts in knowing exact differences).
A lovely video as always! Since being born and raised in Trier and being homesick since I left the town for a job elsewhere, I am looking forward to seeing what you experienced there!
I am so happy for your family! You made it out of the United States! I too am from Florida, and I have been in Portugal for over 11 years now! I'll never go back! Blessings to you and your family!🌟
As it often happens, you relate places to stories that happened to you there. I've got a nice one from the town of Mersch in Luxemburg. Crossing through by car, I asked someone for the town centre. I did so in German and I was told that we had to turn left at the red traffic lights ( = rote Ampel ) but all traffic lights happened to be green. It only ocurred to me after the fourth or fifth that it was the word to word translation from the French word feu rouge. No matter whether they are red or green, they are called "feu rouge" = red light. So we just had to try again only knowing the town centre was to the left and all the way back.😂
I grew up in Germany very close to the border to Luxemburg and used to always go there to do some shopping. You should also check out Trier, it's super close and a beautiful city. I study Design there but unfortunately I'm currently doing an exchange semester in Dublin otherwise I'd happily offered to be your guide for the day! x I love your videos so much and they always make me look at the country (Germany) I was born and raised in so differently! :)
Hey Laura K! Glad to hear you are still enjoying a bit of Germany through our videos :). We love exploring and finding new places that Europe has to offer. Keep an eye out for our visit to Trier! We took advantage of being so close during this same trip. Such a beautiful place! Best of luck with your schooling in Dublin!
Trier in my opinion is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, there's nothing better than enjoying a currywurst with a Bitburger pils next to the Porta Nigra.
As a Luxembourger I bet for tourists it feels very nice and all. 40 years of living here has taught me though that not everything is gold that shines. Life here isn't that great if you haven't got wealthy parents or are married with kids and have a family to rely on financially if need be. It is a very hostile country for single people of the middle class that is shrinking by the minute making the gap between rich and poor grow at a very rapid pace. The cost of housing even in small villages outside of where you'd work is insane compared to other countries and our public transport even though free of charge now is really badly connected and unreliable. So if you do not own a car you are screwed if you want to be able to get to work. Enjoy the holiday and leave with a positive impression I guess, life isn't that great for the average person living around here at all though.
@@OurStorytoTell No worries, my ex had the same impression as you when she came to visit me the first couple of times (she lives in Berlin and came from an Asian country originally half a decade ago). But once she had to take a cab for the first time because she missed her bus to the airport and later after she looked into the housing market she was kind of shocked and told me that we'd have to find an alternative to living in Lux if we were to ever live together since none of us would ever be able to afford to buy a flat or a house around here.
I am in my 40s and I had to leave Luxembourg and come back to realize how good we have it here. Now I love living here and I do not have rich parents. It's a great place to raise a family and I find it to be a quite friendly country all in all.
Soon spring will coming and bring back sun and green nature. In late spring or summer you should definitely visit Cuxhaven and book a tour with the "Wattwagen" to cross the Unesco world natural heritage of the "Wattenmeer" which is really extraordinary. But get informed before about the times where it is possible to go there. And you should combine it with an island like "Juist" where are no cars allowed, that is also a very nice place to discover of the German north coast area.
from someone living at the french and luxembourg border please don't go there for food............ They are nice rich people and all but their food is so EXPENSIVE compare to the quality... I mean it will be ok if it was good but it's not really. If you want to enjoy amazing restaurant go to France! Metz is a beautiful city just near Luxembourg (the train will take you in less than a hour) with AMAZING restaurants! Hope you spend a good time there tho :)
I LOVE Luxemburg! I went to my last Christmas market there, just before - well you know. Aren’t those views incredible?! And right in the middle of the town! I didn’t make it to the chateau, I didn’t know about that, thanks! A good reason to go again, soon! I love Willa‘s face at 7.08 - how she takes in all in is heartlifting! (Can you say that in English?!)
Such an incredible place and so picturesque for sure! You’ll have to make it to some of the chateaus and if you can to the Müllerthal if you end up making it back to Luxembourg. Really fun to see the surrounding areas. Yes, you definitely can say heartlifting ❤️ although I don’t think it’s technically a word, it’s accurate!
Nice video again. Hope you also visited Schengen, the little town in the beautiful Moselle valley where you can breathe the *idea* of modern Europe like in few other places, except maybe if you take the streetcar from the station at the Strasbourg cathedral right across the Rhine and into the city center of Kehl. Schengen gave the Schengen accords its name, as they were signed there. Cross the little bridge and you're in Germany, then turn right, and after a few steps, you're in France. Where only a lifetime ago young men had to butcher each other, today, you'll even miss crossing the borders if you're not watching carefully.
Very enlightening video, There’s this woman I got in touch with during the 2020 lockdown which cost me my job. Ms. Norman Davis helped me manage my assets by introducing my to the best trading platform and strategies, I earned a lot of $$$ working with Norman at the comfort of my home. I still keep in touch with the amazing lady
I have a master in mathematical finance, so it wasn’t so easy to get me convinced to begin an investment without me carrying out proper research on her. I had her broker ID checked and she’s fully verified! So I began with a few bucks, only to get huge returns in a month. I reinvested and now I get long term monthly returns… So glad I don’t rely on pay checks anymore.
,,Norman gave me a wide option investing strategies, she introduced me to USD margin lending in which I was able to earn interest with no anticipated downside risk. She made my February a remarkable month! Some people truly are God sent
Love your channel!!! Come to Trier next time. Im happy to show you around or answer questions. Oldest City in Germany a clash between mddieval and roman times. :)
@@OurStorytoTell You should consider. telling what trips you are planning, so you can get a lot of good tipps in advance😅Glad you enjoyed our nook of europe😂
Luxemburg is cool... a good fusion of French and German culture... Patisserie Oberwinter.... so tasty ! Letzeburgisch, German and French are all present in daily life. Enjoy ! If you're heading to France you find similiar types of mixture, but not that clearly. France had a different very strict policy for a long time on minority languages. But Strasbourg and Colmar are all worth a visit, but so is Belfort, Bescancon and Nancy and of course Metz, the lorraine capital. Bonne route... ps in Luxemburg, Burg Vianden and Echternach are famous too
@@OurStorytoTell actually the pattisierie is called Oberweis and not Oberwinter... i mixed it up with a small city near to my hometown Bonn i went recently to.... Oberwinter...so it stuck...
This mix is exactly what I love about the country. Being German with a good command of French, I enjoyed it a lot to switch from one language to another, for example when having a coffee in a café asking for the milk coffee and croissant in French and taking your bread home having ordered in German. It gives you a good sense of freedom, of being a citizen of a world beyond borders.
Letzeburgisch (Luxemburgish) is actually a German dialect with some takeovers from the neighboring French. As you can see in your video, not only the city of Luxembourg but also the surrounding countryside offers so much. I have been there twice, once for several days and I like the country very much. I can especially recommend Castle Bourscheid. A ruin with a magnificent view over the valley of the river Sauer (German) or Súre (French). Vianden Castle is also very beautiful. Unfortunately, I have seen it only from the outside, because it was closed when I was there.
Having read Aron Ralston's book I would not venture into that cave that Tanner visited. It's a shame that wherever you've been over the last few weeks the weather has mostly been miserable. Here in the UK as well.
There a show on netflix that was filmed in bourglinster and I believe also the müllerthal. It's called capitani :) it's in luxembourgish but you can have subtitles. Don't watch the english version the dubbed version is horrible ;(
Luxemburg broke free from "German territory" early on. At that time Germany was not yet united. But Luxembourg also lost half of the country to Belgium. Or should I say the southern Netherlands, when Belgium was still Dutch? And Luxembourg lost land to France too. Luxembourgers understand German but speak another Germanic dialect or French. They insist on not being German, French or Belgian. Their motto is: We remain what we are. =Engl Wir bleiben was wir sind. =deutsch Mir bleiwen wat mir sinn. =luxemb. We blijven wat we zijn. = Dutch
In WW2 Luxembourg was occupied as German territory. German conscription also applied there. Much to the displeasure of the population, who refused to cooperate with the Germans. This went so far that the Germanic Luxembourgish dialect was not spoken when Germans were nearby. Because the Germans could have understood all that if they came from the other side of the river.
Luxembourg's policy in Europe is often very successful. Luxembourg often mediates between the big countries and knows how to address everyone correctly. It is often Luxembourg that manages to bring different professions together. So this dwarf plays a big role through clever politics. The location of Luxembourg alone makes it necessary to promote harmony between the countries. Today the borders to the other countries are open and joint agreements are easy.
Sorry to correct you. In Luxembourgish it says : Mir wëlle bleiwe, wat mir sinn! A wëlle jo keng Präise sinn. We want to stay, what we are! And do not want to be Prussian. And this is because until 1870 we had Prussian Troups in Luxembourg. In 1918 and 1940 the Germans did not respect the fact that Luxembourg was a neutral country (like Switzerland) and occupied us twice. And before we had been Dutch, French ... So we want to be what we are , means Lëtzebuerger! The country was 3 times bigger until the 19th Century and in the 14th Century three German Emperor were from the house of Luxembourg. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haus_Luxemburg#Die_K%C3%B6nige_und_Kaiser_des_Hauses_Luxemburg
Luxembourg ist too small for more then one Weekend. But you can Go hiking in Liechtenstein in the Summer.It Bad even less People then Luxembourg,but more Nature.
Nice bud however you didn’t point out how aggressive and rude people are. public transport is free however it sucks: only works if you stay along the tram in central Lux city. Overall food sucks (standards are low) and not many good hotels,,,also it’s super boring(just walk around the Grund or Haute Ville) so not worth it! Stick to Paris London Munich or other places. Finally you’re wrong about language: most common language is French throughout the country.
