Chemin de la Corniche
A promenade built along the old city walls, known as “the most beautiful balcony in Europe,” with views over the Grund and the Alzette valley.
This walkway runs along the top of the 17th-century city walls. On one side, the Grund lies far below at the foot of the cliffs, along with the Neumünster Abbey and the winding river. On the other side are the aristocratic townhouses of the Old Town, making for an exceptionally varied panorama. The walk from the Bock Casemates south to the Holy Spirit Heights takes about 600 m. It is free and wheelchair accessible, and the light is best early in the morning and at dusk. You can descend to the Grund by a ramp or lift and combine the two into a classic walking loop through the Old Town and the valley.
