An Anniversary in Europe’s Hidden Gem

A TRAVEL EXPERIENCE LIKE NO OTHER

This sample itinerary was designed with your anniversary in mind and reflects your interest in history, food, and culture at a comfortable pace. It’s meant as a starting point and can be customized to suit your tastes, travel style, and budget, so you can experience Luxembourg in a way that reflects what matters most to you.

DAY 1 Arrive and Get Settled

 

Meet your private English-speaking assistant just outside airport customs. They’ll be waiting with a sign bearing your name and will escort you to your private vehicle, then accompany you to your hotel and assist with check-in.

 

You’ll be staying at Hotel Le Place d’Armes, a boutique property made up of restored historic townhouses right in the heart of the Old Town. From here, you’re steps away from the city’s main square, pedestrian streets, and many of its best cafés and restaurants.

 

You will be staying in a Prestige Suite, where a bottle of chilled local Crémant will be waiting to toast your anniversary.

 

A welcome package with your itinerary and any relevant documents or tickets required for your trip will be provided to you on your arrival.

 

 

Enjoy a Leisurely Afternoon in The Old Town (VILLE HAUTE)

 

Spend the afternoon relaxing after your journey or take an easy stroll through the surrounding streets. The area around Place d’Armes is lively but not overwhelming, making it a pleasant way to ease into the city. You may wish to pause at Chocolate House Nathalie Bonn, a local favorite just steps from the Grand Ducal Palace, known for its decadent hot chocolates and handcrafted sweets. Alternatively, stop for a casual drink at Ënnert de Steiler, a beloved Old Town pub that has been serving locals and travelers alike since 1842. Tucked along a historic lane, its warm, wood-lined interior and relaxed atmosphere offer a charming glimpse into the city’s long-standing café and pub culture.

Ease into the Evening with Dinner and a Sunset Toast

 

This evening, enjoy dinner at Brasserie Guillaume, a well-loved local spot just a short walk from your hotel. Known for its seafood and classic French-influenced dishes, it offers a comfortable, lively atmosphere—ideal for your first night in Luxembourg. 

 

After dinner, your private driver will take you to the iconic Adolphe Bridge, a favorite local spot for sweeping sunset views. From the bridge, you’ll look out over the deep Pétrusse Valley, where tree-lined slopes, winding footpaths, and the dramatic stone arches of the old city create one of Luxembourg’s most romantic panoramas. Here, we’ll arrange a quiet sunset toast as the golden light settles over the valley and the historic skyline beyond.

 Day 2  Get to Know Historic Luxembourg

Meet your private historian in the hotel lobby this morning for a gentle, chauffeured exploration of Luxembourg’s old defensive walls and scenic lookout points. As you move through the city by private vehicle, you’ll stop at dramatic overlooks of the Alzette and Pétrusse valleys, where sheer cliffs, stone bridges, and layered rooftops reveal why this small capital once held such strategic importance in Europe.

 

Along the way, your historian will share the stories behind the city’s survival—how it passed between empires, adapted its defenses, and eventually transformed into the modern capital you see today.

 

You’ll also explore a quieter section of the Bock Casemates, a network of tunnels carved deep into the rock. Once used as barracks, storage rooms, and shelter during times of conflict, these passageways offer one of the most tangible connections to Luxembourg’s past. 

Taste Local Flavors and Discover the Grund 

 

After the morning’s exploration, return to the upper city for a relaxed lunch at Um Dierfgen, a long-standing local favorite known for traditional Luxembourgish dishes. The cozy dining room offers an authentic introduction to the country’s cuisine, where French and German influences come together in hearty, time-honored recipes.

Following lunch, continue with your private guide as you descend into the Grund district, a peaceful riverside neighborhood tucked below the upper city. Narrow streets wind between old stone buildings, and the gentle sound of the Alzette River replaces the bustle of the squares above, offering a quieter perspective on the capital’s historic quarters.

Here, you’ll visit the Neumünster Abbey, a 17th-century Benedictine complex set along the riverbank. Over the centuries, the abbey has served as a monastery, military hospital, prison, and barracks before being carefully restored as a cultural center. Today, its peaceful courtyards and stone cloisters host concerts, exhibitions, and gatherings, reflecting the city’s long and layered history. 

Your guide will share stories of the abbey’s many transformations and the craftsmen, soldiers, and artists who shaped life in this riverside quarter, bringing the history of the Grund vividly to life.

Celebrate Your Anniversary at a Historic Castle

 

This evening, your private driver will take you into the countryside to Bourglinster Castle, a historic estate surrounded by wooded hills just outside the capital.

As you arrive, the quiet setting and centuries-old stone walls create a sense of stepping into another era. Inside the castle, a private anniversary dinner awaits in an intimate dining room, where refined cuisine is served in a setting that feels both elegant and personal.

It’s a memorable contrast to the city and a fitting way to celebrate the occasion before returning privately to Luxembourg for the night.

 

Day 3 Journey to the Moselle Valley

A Morning in the Moselle Valley

 

This morning, travel with your private driver-guide east toward the Moselle River, where vineyard-lined hills and small riverside towns create a softer, more rural landscape. Arrive in the historic village of Ehnen, known for its centuries-old winegrowers’ homes and quiet charm along the water.

 

Begin with a gentle walk through the village lanes, passing rows of traditional houses with arched doorways, small courtyards, and stone façades that reflect generations of life along the river. As you stroll, your guide will share stories of daily life, trade, and the shifting borders that shaped the region’s culture, offering a clearer sense of how people have lived along the Moselle for centuries.

 

Afterward, step inside Domaine Viticole Kohll-Leuck a historic, fourth-generation family-run winery for a private cellar visit, arranged in advance. As you move through the cool stone cellars, your host will explain how families here have lived and worked along the Moselle for generations. This visit can include a relaxed tasting of a few local specialties if desired.

 

Enjoy a waterfront lunch & A Scenic Cruise on the Moselle

 

Following your estate visit in Ehnen, continue a short distance along the river to nearby Remich for lunch at Pavillon Desom. Set near the waterfront, the restaurant offers refined, seasonal cuisine in a relaxed yet elegant setting, making it an ideal countryside pause before your afternoon cruise.

 

After lunch, step aboard a private boat for a scenic cruise along the Moselle River. Glide past quiet villages, terraced hillsides, and church spires rising above the water’s edge.

 

With no crowds and no fixed schedule, the experience feels calm and personal. Relax on deck with light refreshments as the countryside drifts by, offering a gentle and memorable perspective of the region.

 

Return to Luxembourg City in the late afternoon with time to relax at your hotel.

Bid Farewell with a MICHELIN Star Dinner

 

For your final evening, enjoy a reservation at Les Jardins d’Anaïs, an historically Michelin-starred restaurant set within an elegant townhouse just outside the old city.

 

The atmosphere is intimate and understated, with contemporary French cuisine that highlights seasonal ingredients and precise technique. It’s a peaceful, refined setting for your last night in Luxembourg—a graceful conclusion to your anniversary escape.
