Luxembourg is one of the smallest countries in the world. With the free public transport. you can visit all the prominent places in one day. It's crazy. The people speak Luxembourgish, English, French and Dutch and also German.  The wines and cheeses are different and it is more expensive as compared to France. I loved my visit here because I tried couchsurfing for the first time. For those who do not know, this is an online community where you can stay and host people, no money involved. It was such a wonderful experience that I am sure to try it again in the future. Street lanterns in Luxembourg city These add up to the beauty of the simple and vibrant roads. It is wonderful to take a look up and see these when we are walking through a road.

It is wonderful to take in the views from the panoramic elevators and stand on the glass. It feels like you...

It is however, unfortunate to have construction being done on all four sides.  Grand-place Did you know this UNESCO World Heritage site has been the heart of Brussels since the 12th century? With its stunning Gothic architecture and rich history as a bustling market square, it is the place to go when you are in Brussels! Town Hall When I saw this building, this was my reaction- holy crap! It blows you away. It is so magnificent that one really gestates upon the prowe...
