Luxembourg: Day Seven
Home » Luxembourg » Luxembourg: A Week-Long Itinerary » Luxembourg: Day SevenSadly, it’s your last day in Luxembourg. You might need to return to Luxembourg City to pack or you might want to spend an extra day in a previous spot (if you didn’t already slow down the itinerary to do so). On the other hand, however, you could consider heading west from Remich to the last remaining region of Luxembourg: Red Rocks.
Red Rocks deserves much of the credit for Luxembourg’s economic strength and stability. Beneath the red rocks lies the ore that allowed the development of Luxembourg’s iron and steel industries.
The Red Rocks region is highlighted by Esch-sur-Alzette, which is on the French border and is the most populous city in the country other than Luxembourg City. Head to Esch-sur-Alzette, and spend the day on your interests. If it’s hiking, leave the city and explore the surrounding area. If it’s shopping, stroll the streets of downtown Esch-sur-Alzette. If it’s architecture, find some of the modern homes. Your one day in Esch-sur-Alzette will at least introduce you to Red Rocks, the final Luxembourg region. In a single week, you will have visited each major region in the country; there are not many countries in the world that can offer that experience.
