Luxembourg covers an area of only 2586 square kilometers, but it is full of forests, beautiful scenery, quiet and elegant, and the whole country is like a big park.The capital, Luxembourg City, spans the Alzette River from north to south. The central valley is 100 meters wide and 60 meters deep. It is connected to the old and new urban areas by 110 bridges of different shapes and spans.There is the Passerel Bridge built in 1861 and the Charlotte Bridge named after the Grand Duke. What is particularly peculiar is that there is another 84-meter arched bridge in the middle of the Adolphe Bridge, a must-see attraction.The city’s streets on both sides of the river are narrow and the architecture is simple, with towering spires and the Notre Dame Cathedral built in the 17th century, as well as a large number of European fairy tale-style buildings.Luxembourg is the seat of the General Secretariat of the European Parliament, the European Court of Justice, the European Court of Auditors, the European Investment Bank and the European Financial Foundation. It is known as the third capital of the European Union after Brussels and Strasbourg.
There is only one ethnic group in Luxembourg, the Luxembourg tribe, which is similar in blood to the French.Luxembourgish is a type of High German, but has more than 5,000 French etymological words, but it has not been written for a long time and is only used as a spoken language;Luxembourg has long been part of the "German-speaking" Holy Roman Empire in the history of Luxembourg, and the upper class in Europe were used to communicating in French at that time, so French and German are both written languages that are widely circulated in the local area.
