Place Guillaume II, Luxembourg City
One of the city's largest open spaces, Place Guillaume II in Luxembourg was the former location of a Franciscan convent that has subsequently been turned into a pedestrian zone. The equestrian statue of William II, King of the Netherlands and Grand Duke of Luxembourg, stands in the center. It's also home to the gorgeous Town Hall and the famed Trémont's lions, as well as the city's popular weekly market, which is known for its flowers and plants, as well as local produce.
Nearby, the 16th-century House of Raville, with its lovely façade is a well-restored balcony and spiral staircase. The Spanish Turret, with its spectacular views of the Pfaffenthal suburb, and the old cavalry-barracks of Vauban, dominated by Fort Thüngen, popularly known as the "Three Acorns" for the three acorns that adorn each of its three towers, are additional famous monuments. Also, take your time visiting this stunning region. It's a lovely place to stop for a meal or a drink at one of the many excellent cafés and eateries.
