The tiny nation of Luxembourg doesn't miss the opportunity to gain a little ground on its larger neighbors by promoting itself on the Internet. Unfortunately, most of the links are brief explanations, and the site could use better graphics. Visitors will find a listing of upcoming events and help on transportation options, such as touring the country by bicycle. Holland City Guide offers details on several hundred Dutch cities. The notes might include such inquiries about renting a seaside villa or details of a recent scuba trip.
Several travelogues are expanded accounts, such as one from a Canadian honeymooning in the country.
One drawback of the site was a search function for accommodation, which on a recent visit included only youth hostels. The site, available in English, German, French, or Spanish, suggests itineraries for visiting certain parts of the country. If Spanish soccer teams or flamenco dancing are of interest, visitors to this site will not be let down. The site, in both Swedish and English, covers much more territory than the coveted award. Visitors can jump to all the major media in Sweden that bave Web sites and can plug into the Swedish site of the day.
