General information [add image]
Luxembourg, officially Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, country in western Europe, bounded by Belgium on the north and west, Germany on the east, and France on the south. With Belgium and The Netherlands, Luxembourg forms the Low, or Benelux countries.
The inhabitants of Luxembourg are mostly of German and French background but have a distinct national consciousness. Roman Catholics are 94 percent of the inhabitants of Luxembourg. The national language, called Letzeburgesch (Luxembourgisch), is a Germanic language. French and German are also used in official publications and in schools. The nation's motto is inscribed everywhere throughout Luxembourg City, the capital - Mir wëlle bleiwe wat mir sin - 'We want to remain what we are'. After a visit, you're sure to hope they do.
Climate
The best time to visit is from mid May to mid October -- that's when it's warmest. Winters aren't too cold, but a sweater is almost always needed at night, even in summer. Another year-round necessity is an umbrella, because the climate tends to be damp. (southtravels.com)
