Weekend in Luxembourg

Last month, we took a weekend trip to Luxembourg to celebrate our anniversary and new status as empty-nesters. Since it shares a border with Germany, it was just a short drive.

I snapped a few photos of the city to share…but I wouldn’t classify them as an actual tour guide as we spent more time eating and drinking than anything else. I actually think that’s a perfect vacation, by the way.

Oh, and Harley got to go along. He had a wonderful trip; Europe is so dog-friendly (except for finding a patch of grass to take care of business).

The altstadt (or old city) is within a wall and has lots of great shopping, open-air markets, and people watching.

There was a weekend flohmarkt in one of the squares and I found this tiny little silver cup for only 5€:

We didn’t stop at Ladurée here, but did when we went to Zurich. They have the prettiest decor.

We stopped for lunch at Urban Bar and I had a delicious salmon poke bowl.

After lunch we strolled around some more; as you can see it was a perfect day to be out and about.

They were getting ready for a wedding in this little church; I loved how they were using mounds of baby’s breath so snapped a few photos to share:

We stayed at the Hotel Perrin, a lovely family owned place near the main train station. They had an excellent breakfast available and met Harley with treats and pets, which were very much appreciated. The desk staff was wonderful. Our room was small (perhaps I should say, European-sized) but more than adequate, and just next door was Madame Jeanette, where I had this delicious pisco sour:

Poland is on the calendar next; I’ll be sure to share those photos soon. In the meantime, thanks for stopping by!

      Harley was so happy just to go along; he hates to be left and I can tell that he misses having the kids at home (me, too, to be honest). Thanks for the good wishes. I hope you are doing well!
      XO,

    BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY! I ESPECIALLY LOVED THE CHURCH WITH THE MOUNDS OF BABY’S BREATH. WASN’T IT BEAUTIFUL AND DIFFERENT? HAPPY ANNIVERSARY AND HAPPY YOU’RE GETTING TO SEE OTHER BEAUTIFUL COUNTRIES.

      Yes, I thought it was lovely, too. Baby’s breath tends to be inexpensive so it’s a good way to add mounds and mounds of flowers at a reasonable price. I’ll have to file that away for future reference!
      Hope you’re doing well!

    Once you get past the tears the empty nest thing is great! Loved the tiny silver pitcher…a great find. Thank you for sharing your Anniversary weekend with your honey and Harley.

    Your photos bring back precious memories from being there many years ago. Such a unique part of the world and I wouldn’t trade my 3 years posted there for anything. Don’t forget to pick up a piece or two of some beautiful Polish pottery if you get the chance. Happy Anniversary and enjoy your holidays! Cheers, Kathy

      Funny you mention the Polish pottery, Kathy–I was in Poland last week with a few friends and that’s exactly what we went there to buy! I found a few blue and white pieces that go well with my blue willow dishes, and of course it was fun just to visit a new country. The Polish people are absolutely lovely.
      Take care and thanks for the anniversary wishes!

    I thought I had responded but guess it didn’t go through. Such a lovely trip and Happy Anniversary! I know it was great for Harley to be out and about too! The architecture is gorgeous and always so interesting to see. I have a long term interest in WWII and have wanted to visit Poland among other places. I’m sure some of it must be very sobering.
    Have a blessed week!

      We only went to Bolaslawiec which is where they make a lot of the Polish pottery that they’re famous for, but I agree about the history being another good reason to visit. There’s a good chance that my husband and I will return to see some of the WW2 sites. He’s been to Auschwitz, but I haven’t had the chance yet. I’ve seen Dachau and that was chilling. How quickly we seem to have forgotten what atrocities can happen when entire groups of people are labeled as dirty and undeserving of equal rights and protections!
