Bang on 10 pm, together with beautifully decorated wagons, the torchlight procession marches past the Grand Duke and his family, members of the government and the mayor of the capital. It’s a fascinating experience for every visitor and at the same time only the kick-off for a long night and a season full of open-air music.
A sparkling wine culture
The Moselle region is the key to unlock the secrets of Luxembourg’s high-quality wine, while at the same time discovering unusual tourist sites. The region in the south east of the Grand Duchy is home to the country’s famous wine region, tucked away in the valleys between the Luxembourgish borders with France and Germany. Its mild climate is ideal for the vines.
