Luxembourg for a day

Hi Lori. I assume you mean Luxembourg City - I think the most interesting to do there is visit the casemates. The Bock Casemates were begun in the 18th century and the Petrusse Casemates in the 17th century, all built to defend against invading countries like Spain and France. The cost to take a self-guided tour is very reasonable - 3 euros for adults as of last summer. The center of the city is the most interesting - the casemates are here, and you can walk right by the prime minister's house and other govt. buildings. There's plenty of shopping and restaurants in the center, also. There's a tourist information office at the train station and also at Place Guillaume II, which is only a 10-minute walk from the train station.

Hi Lori. I agree with the other post about visiting the case mates, old fortifications - interesting. As you will be around Luxembourg city for your concert, spend the time to stroll around the pittoresque downtown which is dedicated to mostly pedestrians to experience the capital. Watch the Grand Duchy Palace, The Notre Dame cathedral with it's crypt downstairs, and the famous square of Place d'Armes. To get a very good impression of what modern and old Luxembourg is like today, catch the hop-on-hop-off doubledecker bus which will take you through the old part of town (where you also will find most of the best eateries) before heading out to the business district with all its financial institutions and the notorious EU headquarters (may sound boring but is fascinating nevertheless). You will be back just in time for the concert. In case of bad weather, you could add a visit the museum of Villa Vauban. have fun!

Does anyone know if there is a luggage check at the train station for visitors passing though? We'd love to make this day stop, then carry on to Germany.

I don't know first hand but google has found
http://www.cfl.lu/NR/rdonlyres/62DC1337-5F02-4EED-9F85-D757526F96CB/0/luxembourg.pdf which is the disabled information for the station and down at the bottom it suggests on the map that there is a window for luggage - guichet baggages. There is also a phone number at the top. While the whole document is in French it is my experience that many people on the railway speak English, as well as German, French and Letzebourgish.

Angela - there are storage lockers at the train station. When we went to the lockers no one was there, but the lockers are self-service.
