Siegfried built a castle on a rock in 963 AD, and over the years, kings and rulers have continued to fortify it. This made the area a stronghold and an attractive spot for businessmen looking for safety. As a result, the city expanded and became wealthier over time.
Today, Luxembourg City still draws in businesspeople, but now it’s known for offering information security to banks, similar to Switzerland. The clients are satisfied and well-off, and so is the country. Luxembourg is the richest country in Europe, and as a tourist, you’ll notice that people here are accustomed to spending more money.
Yes, Luxembourg can be expensive, and the service level might not be as high as in Germany, but we didn’t feel shortchanged. We felt we got good quality for our money. Whether it was the morning coffee at The Golden Bean or the Tarte Flambés at Goethe Stuff, everything was of high quality, in charming settings, and with amazing views!
