Luxembourg City

So after Paris, I took a weekend journey to the city of Luxembourg (which is in the tiny country of Luxembourg). After looking for things to do on the internet, I stumbled across a party at a bar called 'The Viking" that stating it was a premier Scandinavian bar and it was having the "Party of the Year" with 1 Euro tequila and spicy vodka shots (no... not mixed). Because of that, we arrived Friday night by car. Needless to say we were disappointed when we walked in. The bar was completely filled with smoke and the crowd was in high school. I took no more than 3 steps and turned around. We found a place to have a few drinks but the nightlife in Luxembourg is nothing to write home about (a bit of an ironic statement considering I'm blogging about it).

On Saturday we spent the day exploring the city. It took all of about 2 hours -- total. We walked a bit and took pictures. Then we stopped in an open area and had a beer at a Cafe. I saw the sun for the first time since Zurich so that was kind of nice. We continued walking around for another hour or so and found our way back to the same plaza as before. We then decided to have a drink and eat a little something. 5 beers and 4 hours later, after sitting in the sun, we decided to go back to the hotel and figure out a plan for dinner (which we ate at an Indian restaurant).


On the way back from Lux, we stopped at Trier, a town in Germany known for its ancient Roman ruins. The weather was lackluster so we only walked around for an hour or two and then headed back to Stuttgart.
