Luxembourg and Dinant Day Trip from Brussels
What your day looks like
One of our most popular tours: Luxembourg is certainly a modern and vibrant city with a rich history and impressive ancient and contemporary architecture. In the old part of Luxembourg, our guide will take you to the cathedral, the Palace of the Grand Duke, and the Place d’Armes. In downtown Luxembourg, you will enjoy a spectacular view of the Kirchberg district, home to several European institutions. In the valley, you will be able to see a trail of the Casemates, the abbey of Neumünster, the city walls, and the picturesque sites along the river Alzette. After some free time in the city, you will explore the quaint town of Dinant, with its fifteenth-century collegiate church and its impressive citadel. Dinant’s name originates from the Celtic “Divo Nanto”, which means “Sacred Valley”. This little town is dramatically perched on the narrow banks of the River Meuse. This is the cradle of the Leffe beer and the birthplace of Adolphe Sax, the inventor of the saxophone.
