The "Gibraltar of the North（3）

In 1867, to ease tensions between France and Germany, most of the city's fortifications were dismantled by treaty, but the massive remnants of the fortresses and tunnels still stand today, offering spectacular views for visitors! 🏰 Today, Luxembourg is also home to many important international institutions, including the Secretariat of the European Parliament, the European Court of Auditors, the European Statistical Office, the European Court of Justice, the European Investment Bank, and the European Investment Fund. 🏛️ Surrounded by France, Germany, and Belgium, Luxembourg seems to have absorbed many influences from its neighbors, making it a little melting pot of Europe. People joke that life in Luxembourg City is all about "foreign" experiences—commuting by train to Germany for work in the morning and reading French newspapers at home in the evening. It's only during holidays at the local market that you might meet a few vendors without foreign passports! 🤣 Luxembourgers are also known for their love of music. There's a saying: "One Luxembourger has a rose garden, two Luxembourgers have a coffee party, and three Luxembourgers form a band." 🎶 Luxembourg is truly a unique and fascinating country, offering a perfect blend of history, culture, and modern prosperity. Whether you're exploring its medieval fortresses, enjoying its natural beauty, or experiencing its vibrant city life, you'll find something to love here! #Luxembourg #Europe
