Below is a sample itinerary to spark some ideas." Luxembourg travel guide - Wikitravel 12 Get out View from the 'Grund' up to the Old Town The city of Luxembourg is the capital of the country of Luxembourg . Its spectacular valleys and plateaus led it to be nicknamed the " Gibraltar of the North". Luxembourg is officially divided into 24 districts, but the visitor really needs to know only 4: Ville Haute ("High City"), the medieval town core. Ville Basse ("Low City"), situated in the gorge that cuts itself across the city and the most picturesque area. Gare ("Station"), the location of the train station, a 15 min walk south of Ville Haute and home to many restaurants and cafés. Kirchberg, the modern city full of banks and European Union buildings, across the Red Bridge to the east, toward the airport. Unlikely to be of interest to the average tourist. But there is Utopolis, a multiplex cinema, and a shopping mall based around the (French) Auchan hypermarket. Get in[ edit ] If you are in Luxembourg, chances are that you are staying in Luxembourg City, so getting in will not be a problem.

If you are staying elsewhere then just remember that all buses and trains lead to Luxembourg City. See Luxembourg for details on getting into the country. Get around[ edit ] One of the few things that are actually cheap in Luxembourg is public transportation. A day-ticket valid for all busses/trains in the entire country costs just 4 Euros. Make use of it if you go on any day-trips around the country. The best way to get around Luxembourg is by foot, bike and bus. Due to the city's small size and beautiful scenery, by foot is also the best way to appreciate it. In a few hours (or dividing your trip in two days) you can get to know the whole city on foot. Buses are regular and they all pass through the central bus station Hamilius. The city also operates a self-service bike scheme and the stations can be found in various locations around the city centre. For more information check the Ville de Luxembourg (VDL) website. [1] Also the city has the country's main railway station and this can be reached easily by bus. The station is a good way of getting around the country or speedily getting into any of the neighbouring countries.

Do[ edit ][ add listing ] Schueberfouer, Glacis. Held every year across 2 weeks during end of August and early September, this huge and historic funfair attracts enormous crowds. As well as the many stomach churning rides there are numerous places to eat and drink to your heart's content. An important date in the social calender of young Luxembourgers. edit Grand Duke's Birthday. Not the actual birthday of the current Grand Duke (or any preceeding for that matter) the 23rd June is the country's national day. All night street parties, fireworks and parades are enjoyed by seemingly the entire population of the country on the evening preceding the holiday. edit Grand Ducal Palace, Rue du Marché aux Herbes, Luxembourg. The Palace is open for a period of 6 weeks over July and August whilst the Grand Duke and his family are away on their holidays. Guided tours last for about 1 h, are inexpensive, and are available in various languages, including English. Tickets are available from the tourist office in Place de Guillaume II.

edit Sofitel Hotel Bar and Restaurant, 40 boulevard d´Avranches , L-1160, Luxembourg (train station). One of the very finest panoramic views available of the city is to be found from the top floor bar of this building. If you are in the area, it is worth stopping in for a quick drink. edit Eat[ edit ][ add listing ] Home to a suprisingly high number of Michelin star establishments, the city houses many fine eateries. Luxembourg also has a very large population of Italians that came to the country in the late 19th century so Pizzerias in Luxembourg are always very reliable and frequent. For something cheap and quick the Place d'Armes is the best bet. La Fontaine, 25, place de Paris, ☎ +352-494076. One of a number of affordable bistros clustered around place de Paris, conveniently located halfway between the station and the old city. The quadrilingual menus run the gamut from pizza and mussels to Luxembourgish classics like judd mat gaardebounen (smoked pork neck with broad beans), and there are daily specials for around €8.

€15-20. edit Taj Mahal, 2, rue de Strasbourg, ☎ (352) 40 59 41. By anyone's standards, a fantastic curry house serving rich and delicious Indian food. Very friendly staff too. Well worth making the short trip from the centre to this restaurant located near the station. edit Mousel Cantine, 46, Montée de Clausen. Great local plates on the site of the former Mousel brewery. Wash down huge portions of pork knee and broad beans with tankards of Mousel lager. edit Le Palais D'Asie, 47, avenue de la Liberté. Don kimonos and marvel at the skill of the chefs as they prepare Japanese and Chinese style cuisine before your very eyes including ceiling-high flames and an "egg show". As entertaining as it is tasty. Arrive hungry as the portions are generous. edit Drink[ edit ][ add listing ] Luxembourg is a decent place to have a drink. Due to the amount of ex-pats who live in Luxembourg there are a wide variety of establishments in addition to the Luxembourgish bars.

Pubs in Luxembourg tend to be a traditional affair, although more modern bars, and English or Irish themed pubs have also become the norm. English themed pubs Britannia Pub [5] . The favourite watering hole of local English ex-pats. Good place for watching football. Ecosse Scottish themed bar. Can be extremely crowded and lively during international rugby and football matches but generally a quiet place for a pint. The Pyg Irish pub and the best of the English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish triumvirate situated in Clausen. Pub quizzes every other Monday. The Viking [6] . Scandinavian pub. Scott's [7] No. 4, Bisserwee (down in the Grund). A common place for a drink (or two). Urban [8] . A refreshingly modern bar that has a wide mix of clientèle. Although often overcrowded it is a great place to start a night out. Urban also has live music every Sunday evening and has sporting events shown on two massive plasma screens. The Tube. Subterranean, London underground themed bar. International young crowd and great tunes for various tastes. Gets extremely packed late on Fridays and Saturdays and overspills into the street during warmer months.

Pub quizzes every other Monday (alternating with the above mentioned Pyg) edit Vis-a-vis, Rue Beaumont 2 (Near Place d'Armes), ☎ +352 460 326. Hang out with the locals in this charming little Luxembourg-ish bar. Cheaper than a lot of other watering holes found in the city. edit Café des Artistes, (Grund). Cozy little bar that is illuminated by candlelight and decorated with posters of Edith Piaf and the likes. There is an upright piano that is played in the evenings Wednesdays to Saturdays. Come here late on weekends to hear locals sing along to Luxembourgish folk songs. A must for anyone who wants a slice of traditional Luxembourg. edit Melusina Has a large main room with a balcony. It also has another couple of rooms at the back of the club which are worth a look. Café Konrad, 7, Rue du Nord, ☎ +352 262 018 94. A nice café in a side-street. Offers a nice selection of local beers, organic food, vegetarian options, and hosts a pub quiz every Sunday at 8pm.

€150-480. (49.60908,6.11824) edit Respect[ edit ] Try to show respect for the local language and make some effort to say a word or two of it even if it's just the standard greeting "Moien". Luxembourg is a low-key capital city and is generally not the best place for big nights out although during the months of warmer weather it can have its moments. Stay safe[ edit ] Luxembourg is a safer environment than most other European capital cities, and it would be rare to encounter any physical threat. Nevertheless, care is required in and around the train station area (especially late at night), which contains a handful of seedy clubs and prostitutes on the Rue de Strasbourg. Quebec City travel guide - Wikitravel Visitor information[ edit ] Centre Infotouriste de Québec, 12 rue Ste-Anne (across from the Château Frontenac), ☎ +1 514 873-2015 (toll free: +1 877 266-5687), [2] .

21 Jun-31 Aug: 8:30AM-7PM daily. 1 Sep-20 Jun: 9AM-5PM daily (closed 25 Dec and 1 Jan). edit By plane[ edit ] Jean Lesage International Airport ( IATA : YQB) [3] . About 20 min from downtown Quebec, it offers regular flights from cities such as Montreal , Toronto , New York , Chicago , Detroit , Ottawa , Philadelphia , and Paris and also provides charters to remote areas of the province such as Kuujjuaq , Gaspé and Baie-Comeau . Please note that there is no public transit or hotel shuttles to the airport, except an RTC public bus 78 [4] that goes to and from the airport only a few times a day ($3.50). The taxi fare to Old Quebec from the airport is a flat fee of at least $34.25. If you are traveling lightly, you can walk 2 km into city's suburbs (such as Terminus Les Saules) and take RTC bus route 803 or 280 to the old city (regular service several times per hour).

By train[ edit ] A passenger train station is found at the port of Quebec, 450 rue de la Gare du Palais. The Quebec VIA Rail [5] station is a picturesque building, emulating the architectural style of the famed Chateau-Frontenac overlooking the station. The Quebec- Windsor corridor trains run regularly, with stopovers at Montreal and Toronto . Another train station is in Sainte-Foy, 3255 chemin de la Gare, near the Quebec and Pierre Laporte bridges. However, public transit does not run there as often as the Quebec station and this station requires walking for a couple of minutes. By bus[ edit ] The bus station, Terminus Gare du Palais located at 450 rue de la Gare du Palais, is located at the old port of Quebec, next to the train station in the same building. Intercar [6] and Orleans Express [7] offer services province-wide. Another bus station is in Sainte-Foy, 3001 chemin des Quatre-Bourgeois, which is easily accessible by city transit through Métrobus 800/801.

By car[ edit ] Quebec City is 2.5-3 hours by car from Montreal on either Highway 40 or Highway 20 (north and south side of the St. Lawrence, respectively). Both routes are rather monotonous drives through endless forests dotted with farms. For a slower but more picturesque tour of Quebec's heartland, drive along the Chemin du Roy (Highway 138), which follows the north bank of the river instead. By boat[ edit ] A seasonal cruise operates during the summer months between Montreal and Quebec City. The one-way trip takes approximately 7 hours and is slow-going, but the views make it worthwhile. On foot[ edit ] The Funiculaire, Quebec City's diagonal, counterweight railway Walking is a great way to get around the Old Town, as the compact layout makes distances short. You will see beautiful old buildings and little vistas around every corner. You will get exercise. Do be careful of uneven cobblestones and narrow streets, though. Côte de la Montagne is a steep, winding street that connects Upper Town and Lower Town. If you get tired, use the Funiculaire to go between the upper and lower parts of the Old Town.

$3 per person will get you from near the base of the Breakneck Stairs (l'Escalier Casse-Cou) back up to the front of the Chateau Frontenac. It is well worth it if you have small children or large packages. Many intersections are set up with separate traffic signals and cycles for cars and for pedestrians. At one point in the cycle, all traffic lights turn red and all pedestrian signals turn white, meaning that you can cross the intersection in any direction. Yet when the traffic light is green and the pedestrian signal is red, you may find cars turning in front of you. Some intersections have a pedestrian button to activate the signals, and you will never get a pedestrian cycle unless you push that button. By bike[ edit ] The bicycle network of Quebec City has been growing slowly but steadily for the last decade. Although small compared to the extensive utilitarian network of Montreal, it now offers a few recreational bike paths called Corridors [8] with complete bidirectional and segregated bike lanes beginning downtown and ending in the countryside, generally giving splendid views of the area on the way. Most of them are part of the Route Verte [9] system of provincial bike paths.

Corridor des Cheminots is a peaceful trail that runs from the Old Port to Val-Bélair, which continues on to the Jacques-Cartier park area. Even though it can be a challenge because of its long uphill slope, it (obviously) is a breeze on the way back. The eastern section of Corridor du Littoral leads to Chutes Montmorency . This one-hour route (2 hours both ways) runs along the St. Lawrence River, unfortunately hidden by the Dufferin Expressway. By crossing under the expressway, you can make brief stops at the Baie de Beauport recreational park and the Battures de Beauport vista point for restrooms and views on the river. Keep some of your strength for the stairs up at Chutes Montmorency: the view is well worth it. The western section of Corridor du Littoral leads to the award-winning Samuel-de-Champlain promenade . This time, no expressway stops you from having spectacular views on the river and you might even enjoy some nice contemporary architecture on the way. Restrooms and a cafe can be found at the end of the promenade. 1½ hour both ways.

The Parcours des Anses is in Lévis , across the river. Cross with the ferry for $3 (an experience in itself) and bike west on the south shore until you reach the Quebec Bridge and cross back on the north shore to connect with the Samuel-de-Champlain promenade and Corridor du Littoral. Crossing the Quebec Bridge is not for the faint of heart though, as it is the longest cantilever bridge in the world and the path is narrow. That said, this route is the most rewarding of all and will take you a whole afternoon to complete. Part of the route on low-traffic streets still lacks a proper bike path. The city offers maps of its bicycle paths online [10] They are open from April to October. By car[ edit ] Driving in the Old Town can be tricky, since the cobblestone streets were designed for narrow 17th-century horse carts rather than 21st-century SUVs. One way streets abound throughout the Old Town, and parking is difficult to find. Be aware of parking signs and ask locals to ensure parking regulation is understood. Parking patrols are effective and unforgiving. Cabs are readily available and reasonably priced.

Uber is just getting a foothold and is also an option. Outside of the Old Town, the use of a car is recommended. Right turns on red are allowed unless otherwise indicated. During the months of November through April, snow will definitely affect driving conditions. Snow tires are required by provincial law between December 15 and March 15 for all vehicles plated in Quebec as some roads will lack snow removal, sand or salting. Vehicles plated in the US or in other provinces are not subject to this requirement. If snowfall occurred recently, watch out for red flashing parking lights. It means snow removal is underway. Cars parked on the street will be fined and towed. Parking in an underground garage is advised. By public transit[ edit ] The RTC [11] , Quebec's public transportation system, is a system of buses and express shuttles that cover the whole city. Tickets cost $3.50 each, which will earn you the right to ride one direction with a transfer valid for 90 minutes. You can get a pre-paid card loaded with up to 12 trips (in bunches of 2) from licensed stores.

1, 2 and 7 day passes (2 for 1 on weekends) and monthly passes are also sold in the same stores. Free for children below the age of 6. Drivers do not carry money and cannot change bills so do carry exact change - to buy your ticket you place the money in a cash drop box at the entry of the bus. Google Transit can be used to find the best itinerary. Four of the bus lines are frequent-service lines called Métrobus. They are served by recognizable green and grey articulated buses. 800 and 801 both start in Ste-Foy, head toward the Old Town, and end in Beauport and Charlesbourg respectively. 802 starts at Beauport to Belvedere, through Limoilou and Saint-Sauveur. 803 runs along Lebourgneuf blvd and connects with the Galeries de la Capitale terminus. They can run as often as one every three minutes during rush hour. Two new Métrobus lines, 804 and 807, will start late August 2016 using new hybrid articulated buses.

The Écolobus line has been abolished in January 2015 due to rising cost to maintain the electric buses. It is now run as route 21 and stops at most of the sights and hotels of the Old Town. It runs every 20 minutes. The $2 fare was abolished in July 2016. The STLévis, Lévis's public transit [12] , operates within the south shore of Quebec (RTC does not currently have service to the south shore). There is also a shuttle from St-Augustin to Quebec. STLévis operates three express bus lines called Lévisien and are numbered L1, L2, and L3. These different transit companies all pass through Quebec City, which explains the different colours of buses around town. By boat[ edit ] From Quebec to Lévis , the ferry costs $8.00 for a car (including driver) and $3.55 for pedestrians and cyclists, and takes approx 15 minutes, all year round. There are departures every 20 minutes at peak hours, 30 minutes off peak and runs between 6 AM and 2 AM. It gives the best view in town.

The café culture is very much a part of Quebec City as in most of Europe. It should be very easy to find a quaint cafe around Marche Champlain, and around the Chateau. Food is fairly expensive in Quebec, and even a simpler café or bar may be costly. Most Quebec City delicatessens and markets offer a large variety of Quebec cheese from farms in the surrounding countryside. Specialty of the region include brie or camembert style cheeses made with raw milk (lait cru), which endows the cheese with superior flavors and textures not usually found in North American cheeses of the same type. Le Patriarche, 17, Saint-Stanislas, Québec ‪G1R 4G7‬, ☎ 418 692-5488‎, [40] . Set in a decor inspired by its old stone walls.

Imbued with a unique architectural cachet, this 1827 heritage home-turned-restaurant has been serving discerning gourmets since 1965. edit Haute-Ville[ edit ] Aux Anciens Canadiens, 34 rue Saint-Louis, ☎ 418-692-1627, [41] . Specializes in Quebecois cooking, including dishes that feature caribou, buffalo, or wapiti. The table d'hote (the local term for prix-fixe), served until 17h45, is quite a good deal at $19.95. Reservations recommended. edit Casse-Crepe Breton, 1136 rue Saint-Jean, ☎ 418-692-0438. 8AM-6PM. Inexpensive crepes, starting at about $5.

Warm, cozy environment. Fantastic food--shrimp scampi that melts in your mouth, filet mignon cooked at table side, and other delectable dishes. Expensive but well worth it. edit Le Petit Coin Latin, 8 1/2 rue Sainte-Ursule, ☎ 418-692-2022. Wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff.

Serves delicious breakfast for $6.25 starting at 8AM. edit Le Saint-Amour, 48 rue Sainte-Ursule, ☎ 418-694-0667. Expensive. The environment is a mish-mash of styles that do not seem to work together. The wait staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The French food is well-prepared but probably the most expensive restaurant in Quebec City and you should be aware of this fact. On the other hand, this restaurant is a must for stars visiting Quebec City, Paul McCartney had dinner at the St-Amour in 2008 the night before his concert. edit Les Frères de la Côte, 1190 rue Saint-Jean, ☎ +1-418-692-5445. Filled with more locals than tourists, this small eatery serves up a good selection of European dishes including their trademark moules (mussels). $30.

edit Moine Échanson, 585 rue Saint-Jean (Outside the Old City walls, about 4 blocks west of the St-Jean Gate), ☎ +1-418-524-7832. Outside the purlieu of the mechanized tourist cafeterias of the Old Town, this warm restaurant produces high-quality food and drink in small, manageable doses. They have a short but provocative nightly menu, and the food is produced by hand with the loving attention of chefs who care about their craft. Great cellar of organic wines that will surprise you with their depth. $15 (entrée). edit Pizzeria La Primavera, 73 rue Saint-Louis, ☎ 418-694-0030. Pizzas baked in a wood-fired oven. Expensive and small portions. Surcharge of $3.25 per pizza to cut them into two. 10% service charge added to the bill.

Lunch specials are good value at $10-15, including starter and coffee. edit Limoilou[ edit ] La Planque, 1027 3me avenue, ☎ 1 418-914-8780, [46] . La Planque is a bit off the beaten path, though really only about a 15 minute walk from the Gare du Palais. I cannot emphasize enough how well-worth the walk this place is. It's very similar to some of the casual-avant garde places in Montreal (i.e. A Pied de Cochon). The menu is fantastic, as is the wine list (though it's all in French). The food is a bit of a mix of nouveau-French and new-American, with a healthy balance of sea food and meat. The wait staff was extremely nice, very helpful, and very willing to assist in choosing a dish (even for those of us with less-than-passable French). Reservations recommended. Map: $$$.

edit Drink[ edit ][ add listing ] There is a place for nearly every visitor, from the wild nightlife to the cozy corner. Drinking age is 18 though enforcement is hazy. Visitors from outside the province may be informed by staff of restaurants and bars that tipping for food and drinks is required by law in Quebec. This is not true. Tips are often around 15% but it is left to the discretion of the customer. A tip may be aggressively demanded for as little as a beer so do not be caught off-guard. American visitors may be informed that American dollars are happily accepted. This is generally on a $1US for $1CAN basis. Quality wine and liquor can only be purchased at SAQ shops, most of which are open until 6PM Sunday - Wednesday and 8 or 9PM on weekends; the smaller SAQ Express outlets are open daily from 11AM to 10PM, but the selection is restricted to the SAQ's most popular items.

Beer and a small selection of lower-quality wine are also sold at convenience stores (dépanneurs) and grocery stores (not what youwould usually bring to a dinner party but sometimes drinkable-—it has been imported in bulk and bottled and sometimes blended in Quebec and known as "piquette" by the locals). All retail alcohol sales stop at 11PM and bars and clubs stop serving at 3AM. There is only one SAQ within the walls of the old city, a SAQ "Selection" inside the Chateau Frontenac. It has high-end wines and liquors, a small selection of other liquors and no beer. A SAQ "Classique" with better (though still small) selection is located just outside of the walls on Rue St-Jean on the south side of the street. During the frigid Carnaval, a local specialty known as caribou is available to warm you up (did you know that those canes they sell are hollow?). Though the mixture varies with what is available, it tends to be port or red wine with a hodge-podge of liquors, normally vodka, brandy and perhaps even some sherry.

The Grande Allée has most of the city's clubs & youth-oriented bars and spots: Le Dagobert, 600 Grande-Alle Est, ☎ (418) 522-0393, [47] .

Festive atmosphere. edit La Rue St. Jean, beyond the city walls on the west end, is where travelers will find the best pubs in Québec, as well as some smaller dance clubs: St Patrick, 1200 rue Saint-Jean, ☎ 418-694-0618, [51] . An excellent bar with multiple indoor levels, in addition to its outdoor terrace at the heart of Old Québec. It serves typical bar food, but come for the live music, of the folk and Irish variety, that fills the atmosphere multiple nights a week. Try the draft cider, at about ~$9/pint. edit Pub St. Alexandre, 1087 Rue St.-Jean, ☎ 418-694-0015, [52] .

Also offers an open air patio. edit Spread throughout Old Québec are many upscale bars and jazz clubs. Search out the hotels, as they typically have the best venues for jazz and music at night. Bar Château Frontenac, 1 rue des Carrieres (in Chateau Frontenac Hotel). Famous for their perfectly mixed and generously sized martinis, available in numerous versions including half-a-dozen named after famous visitors ranging from Winston Churchill to René Lévesque.

United Kingdom Dec 27, 2016 at 10:48 AM We're taking an 8 day trip to England and I have one free day to choose between two options.

We'll either be doing a tour at the beginning of the trip, from Edinburgh to Alnswick Castle, the Holy Island, and the Northumberland coast - OR we can do a one day tour from London to Kent, Leeds, and Dover. I'd been interested in Northumberland and the Holy Island as I have a Scandinavian heritage and also have traced lines back to the Northumberland area, and have also heard about the beautiful, remote landscape. However, this tour will be a lot of time spent scenic driving. The other tour will be rushed, but allow me to see Kent, Leeds Castle, with a stop at the cliffs of Dover.
