Pfaffenthal Panoramic Elevator ride in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg

I look a ride from the lower city neighborhood of Pfaffenthal (Pafendall) up to Ville Haute (High City) in the panoramic lift. It is completely glass, so you get a great view as it takes you between neighborhoods. Best of all, it is free to ride. Shot in September 2019.

Luxembourg City, Luxembourg - Place Guillaume II (2018)

Place Guillaume II is a town square in Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg. The square lies to the west of Krautmaart and to the north of Boulevard Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the heart of Luxembourg's historic Ville Haute quarter. It is colloquially known as Knuedler, from the Luxembourgish language's word for 'knot', referring to the knot in the belt worn by Franciscan friars.

The western half of the square is dominated by Luxembourg City Hall in the southwest, whilst the equestrian statue to former Grand Duke William II, after whom the square is named, is the prominent feature of the eastern half. Much of the square is ringed with trees, narrowing the open area (particularly around the statue).

The square was originally the site of a Franciscan monastery, hence the colloquial name. However, in 1797, during the French Revolutionary Wars, the monastery was dispossessed by occupying French soldiers. In 1804, the visiting Napoleon presented Place Guillaume II to the city as a gift. In 1829, plans were put in place to build a new town hall on the square, based upon the plans of Belgian architect Justin Remont. That same year, the deconstruction of the former monastery was completed, the material from which was used in the new building.

The town hall was completed in 1838, and first used by the city council, chaired by long-time Mayor François Scheffer. However, due to the ongoing Belgian Revolution, the official unveiling could not be held at the time. Instead, the town hall was officially unveiled on 15 July 1844 by Grand Duke William II, as was the statue in his likeness in Place Guillaume II.

Place Guillaume II is used as an open air music venue, hosting the Rock um Knuedler rock concert each year since 1991. The Rock um Kneudler concerts are free to the public, and have been watched by audiences of up to 10,000. Since 1995, the concerts have been headlined by international acts, with the South African Johnny Clegg and the Italian Gianna Nannini topping the bill for the 2007 concert.

Luxembourg (Luxembourgish: Lëtzebuerg, French: Luxembourg, German: Luxemburg), also known as Luxembourg City (Luxembourgish: Stad Lëtzebuerg or d'Stad, French: Ville de Luxembourg, German: Stadt Luxemburg, Luxemburg-Stadt)[pron 2], is the capital city of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (also named Luxembourg), and the country's most populous commune. Standing at the confluence of the Alzette and Pétrusse rivers in southern Luxembourg, the city lies at the heart of Western Europe, situated 213 km (132 mi) by road from Brussels, 372 km (231 mi) from Paris, and 209 km (130 mi) from Cologne. The city contains Luxembourg Castle, established by the Franks in the Early Middle Ages, around which a settlement developed.

As of January 2018, Luxembourg City had a population of 116,323, which is more than three times the population of the country's second most populous commune (Esch-sur-Alzette).

In 2011, Luxembourg was ranked as having the second highest per capita GDP in the world at $80,119 (PPP), with the city having developed into a banking and administrative centre. In the 2011 Mercer worldwide survey of 221 cities, Luxembourg was placed first for personal safety while it was ranked 19th for quality of living.

Luxembourg is one of the de facto capitals of the European Union (alongside Brussels and Strasbourg), as it is the seat of several institutions, agencies and bodies of the European Union, including the European Court of Justice, the European Court of Auditors, the Secretariat of the European Parliament, the European Investment Bank, the European Investment Fund, and the European Stability Mechanism.

City of Luxembourg: its Old Quarters and Fortifications (UNESCO/NHK)

Because of its strategic position, Luxembourg was, from the 16th century until 1867, when its walls were dismantled, one of Europe's greatest fortified sites. It was repeatedly reinforced as it passed from one great European power to another: the Holy Roman Emperors, the House of Burgundy, the Habsburgs, the French and Spanish kings, and finally the Prussians. Until their partial demolition, the fortifications were a fine example of military ...

Come à la Maison, a unique concept in Luxembourg - LUXE.TV

Come à la Maison, a unique concept in Luxembourg - LUXE.TV

** Séverin Laface, interior architect
** The spirit of conviviality
** Come à la Pizza
** Come à la Rotisserie
** La Focacceria
** Come à la Mer
** Come à la Bière
** Come à la Montagne


Benvenuto to Come à la maison.

In this atypical conceptual zone spread over two floors, the atmospheres mix marvellously, and you’ll understand why.

Former interior architect, converted to restaurant owner to the great delight of our taste buds, Séverin Laface really fell in love with the place, and its 3,500 m2 of space.

Italy is felt in every corner of this place where the spirit of conviviality brings everyone around the same table. For the indecisive, choosing a restaurant can be a challenge.
And with good reason, between the Come à la Pizza located at the entrance of the concept…
Or the traditional cuisine of Come à la Maison, where close to 200 guests can share their passion for Italian gastronomy.

Not to mention Come à la Rotisserie, offering top of the range meats from the best farms in Europe and the world, it becomes very difficult to make a choice.

2017 Europe Tour Behind the Scenes Video 9, October 28, Luxembourg City, Luxembourg

For our final 2017 Europe Tour video, hear the Orchestra tell us about their time in Luxembourg and why touring is important to us and the Cleveland community. The musicians also share favorite moments of the 2017 Europe Tour.

The 2017 European Tour includes an extended itinerary, with concerts in Hamburg, Linz, Luxembourg, Paris, and Vienna, and features special encore performances of the Orchestra’s ground-breaking 2014 production of Janáček’s 'The Cunning Little Vixen' directed by Yuval Sharon. Two sold out performances of this production, which blends together live singers with projected animation, will be presented at Vienna’s Musikverein; this will be the first time an opera has ever been presented in a staged production format at the historic concert hall. Of this production, 'The New York Times' said “… the Cleveland ‘Vixen,’ performed at the orchestra’s spectacularly resonant home theater, Severance Hall, was designed to return attention to the opera’s action while still highlighting one of the world’s great orchestras.”
