Once the thunderstorm had moved on, we enjoy a quiet evening in the campsite in Alzingen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When breakfast is done we walk off to the bus-stop to start our second day in Luxembourg City. Fifteen minutes later we arrive at the Gare, but this time we jump on the first tram heading towards the centrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tram stop is less than a 5 minute walk to the tourist office and Hotel de Ville (French for Town Hall or Rathaus), pictured below. We were hoping for a ticket to visit the palace but where told the Royals are back, so no tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We walk across the Place Guillaume II (Luxembourg\u2019s main square) and around the corner to the Palais Grand Ducal. Built in 1573 this lovely building with its numerous turrets is no Buckingham Palace. It\u2019s tightly surrounded by other buildings so it is hard to appreciate when you cannot stand back enough to properly take it in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to worry we enjoy watching the guards going through their well practiced drills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
