Healthy breakfast and I still have some time to observe the city before I fly back to Prague.
I should admit, at daylight the city looks dull and boring for me. Maybe, this is how the real life of rich people looks like.
By the way, almost half residents in the country are foreign nationals, making it exceptionally international for such a small country. And in the Luxembourg city the international character is even stronger - about 71% of residents are foreign nationals.
Luxembourg City has a very green area: they say, roughly a quarter of the city's area consists of green spaces.
I believe, I will definitely come here in Summer, when everything is blooming and all trees are green.
I have a strange feeling, that I have visited all these places yesterday night, but today it has absolutely different vibe.
I am walking in the Petrusse Valley, which is a deep green gorge running through the heart of the city, and it is about 1.5 kilometer length. The valley is crossed by two important historic bridges - Passerelle (1861) and Adolphe (1903) bridge.
Pont Adolphe is about 153 metres long and is famous for its huge central stone arch.
Paserelle bridge has 24 stone arches and 290 metres long.
One more unusual thing about Luxembourg, which I would like to emphasize, is that you can walk from busy streets into a wooded valley or historic fortress landscape within just a few minutes.
It is the time to say goodbye to the country and its capital. Luckily, the city has a convenient tram connection all the way to Luxembourg Airport (Findel). The T1 tram runs between the airport and the city, passing through the central area. The duration is about 25-35 minutes. And it is free.
I am at the airport, waiting for my flight. Amusingly, Luxair airlines operates De Havilland Canada Dash 8-Q400 turboprops. It has propellers rather than jet engines, but it is still a fast, modern passenger aircraft. The Dash 8-Q400 is especially suited to shorter European routes. Very interesting. I will fly with them to Prague. It should be only 1 hour and 30 minutes duration.
To sum up. I would love to return to Luxembourg and to observe more parks in this city. And of course to repeat this gorgeous night walk with amazing night views.
