Christmas Market Luxembourg

Let us visit the Christmas market in one of the smallest countries of the world - The Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg.

Luxembourg sits right in the center of Western Europe - between France, Belgium and Germany. The size is 2,586 km2.

In comparison Rhode Island, USA is 3,140 km2 and Great Britain is 209,331 km2.

Luxembourg emerged as independent territory again at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, when the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg became an independent part of The Netherlands, with William I becoming both King of the Netherlands and Grand Duke of Luxembourg - a personal union.

The year in Luxembourg is divided by a number of popular festivities and one of them is of course Christmas.

The Christmas market is a major Christmas event. It is spread now over five locations in Luxembourg city: Place de la Constitution (with the Ferris Wheel), Place d'Armes (the largest), Place de Paris (near the station), Grund (foods) and Roude Petz - Gran Rue (charities).
