While staying in Trier for a weekend, we chose to hop over to Luxembourg for a day trip. It was so easy and affordable using the train. Public transportation throughout Luxembourg is free, so our train ticket from Trier to Luxembourg and back only covered the part through Germany. This was the first time either of us had visited Luxembourg, so it made it the first new country we could cross off our list during our time living in Germany.
Walking around Luxembourg City was easy and full of sites!
To make sure we saw the major spots, we took a ride on the Petrusse Express. It was a cute little train car ride through the streets of Luxembourg City that gave a bit of history through the recorded audio tour. It was offered in a variety of languages so people from all over can enjoy the information. It was not the best tour I have ever been on, but it was affordable and gave us the highlights.
Just before leaving the city to head back to Trier, we stopped for sandwiches and coffee at a café. I swear I pointed to a tomato and mozzarella sandwich, but when we bit into them it was tuna and egg. I am NOT a fan of tuna or hard boiled eggs so this was a major fail for me. The bread was decent, though, and held me over until we returned to Trier and indulged in quiche and wine at a local weinstube.
