Traveling in Luxembourg

Luxembourg is located in western Europe, sandwiched between France, Belgium, and Germany. The country is known for having the highest GDP in the world, although this is much less challenging when your entire population is barely that of a medium sized city! Luxembourg’s vast wealth comes from its strength in finance, making it one of the world’s richest countries. Despite the money flowing through the country, a visit to Luxembourg isn’t as devastating to your wallet as Scandinavia, so travelers can actually enjoy the exploring the capital and beautiful countryside on a decent budget.
