Certainly felt as safe as anywhere I’ve stayed. I think the crime rate in Lusemborg is zero.

The best part was probably just a relaxing day in a strollable city near the end of a very whirlwind trip. The cafes just seemed so peaceful and unrushed. Oddly, the most exciting thing was stumbling onto the last "mile marker." There are (or maybe were) concrete markers supposedly every mile tracing the advance of allied troops from the landing in Normandy to somewhere (German border, battle of the bulge, final victory, luxembourg city??). We didn’t figure out what we’d seen at Utah Beach until we found the one in Luxembourg City which is painted and identified. WW II history in Luxembourg is gruesome. The allies took over the area. The Nazis took it back and slaughtered thousands for aiding the enemy before the allies reconquered it a few days later.

The casemates (what’s left of medieval battlements) are also interesting. Lame, I know — I travel with an academic and a historian.
