Tours

We spent our afternoon in Luxembourg City on a few tours. First we went to Notre Dame, we had a personal tour from this nice girl Catherine. She's in a program that places students within the EU to give tours in their language. It was a great tour!

After, we took a "professional" tour of the city, a walking tour of the different sights of the city. It was just OK, the group was too big and the guide was giving the tour in two languages. We did get a few facts and see a few things we wouldn't have otherwise, so it wasn't a total waste...

After we did a self guided tour of the Casemates, which are tunnels dug under the city, used for civic defense. There are lots of side tunnels with views over the city, they used to house cannons.

The whole thing was really cool, but we had a little trouble figuring out where to get out of the tunnels!
