Grand Ducal Palace
The Grand Ducal Palace (Groussherzogleche Palais) is a must-see landmark in Luxembourg City, which is a stunning Renaissance structure from 1572 that serves as the official house of the country's reigning monarch, Grand Duke Henri. It was established in 1572 as the city's initial municipal hall, a role it held until 1795 before becoming the Grand-Ducal Place in 1890.
While it is still the Duke's primary residence, the public is permitted to take a look inside during specially scheduled tours offered from mid-July to the first week of September, when it becomes one of the city's most popular attractions. There are nine excursions available daily, all of which are conducted in a number of languages, including English. Tickets are available at the Luxembourg City Tourist Office, which is located on Place Guillaume II.
The tour includes a chance to explore the sumptuous, finely furnished interior, as well as the ceremonial halls used for important events such as visits by foreign dignitaries.
Address: 17 Rue du marché-aux-Herbes, 1728 Luxembourg
