About this tour
This session covers Grund, the river district sitting below the cliffs of Luxembourg City's upper town. You see the Alzette river running through the lower town and hear how the district avoided the redevelopment that changed the plateau above, then stop at a converted mill building to hear how much of the area has shifted from housing to bars and galleries. It is a short session tracing one district's change over time.
We start with a sound check by the river, since the water itself is fairly quiet even in the centre. I move to the mill building for the second stop and take your questions about the district's history as we go. A short reading list follows by message afterwards.
It suits anyone curious about Luxembourg City beyond the plateau above. It also works well paired with a session on the Chemin de la Corniche looking down on the same district.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
