UNESCO World Heritage Site

Since the 16th century, Luxembourg's architecture has been influenced by Roman, French, Spanish, and Prussian styles. Luxembourg City's gates and forts have kept aspects from these many eras over time, and give off a medieval vibe that will enchant you and make you feel as if you're in a fairy tale. This is definitely one of the Things about Luxembourg You Should Know.

UNESCO has designated Luxembourg's fortress and old city center as World Heritage Sites since December 17, 1994. Indeed, according to UNESCO, "Because of its strategic location, Luxembourg was one of Europe's greatest fortified sites from the 16th century until 1867, when its walls were destroyed." When you look at images of Luxembourg, it's simple to see why UNESCO designated it as a world heritage site. It is also one of Europe's most scenic countries, having received numerous UNESCO prizes.
