• Wine and dine al fresco in Luxembourg-Ville's charming main square, the Place d'Armes. The area known as the Grund, near the River Alzette, also has many lively cafes and restaurants; it can be reached via a lift down through the ancient rock.
• Tramp around the Müllerthal region, Luxembourg's 'Little Switzerland'. Dense forests, crystal-clear brooks and spectacular rock formations combine to make this one of the country's most popular areas for walking and hiking. The main resorts are Beaufort and Larochette, both of which have hilltop castles.
• Explore the scenic beauty and quiet of the Ardennes region, referred to locally as Eisléck. The area consists of forested plateaux, wooded hills and lush valleys. Head for the small town of Esch-sur-Sûre, a well-known resort surrounded by the River Sûre (Sauer).
• Harness up and go rock climbing; there are some good ascents and facilities available near Berdorf in the Müllerthal region.
• Splash out on some watersports: located within the Upper Sûre National Park (an area of outstanding beauty) is the country's drinking water reservoir, where a barrage dam (the Staudamm) makes a beautiful lake.
• Indulge yourself in a wine-tasting tour in the southeast. The River Moselle flows through Luxembourg's main wine-producing region (referred to as ‘the Moselle' or d'Musel). Boat-cruises on the river are also available.
• Visit breweries and sample more of the region's alcoholic produce in the towns of Diekirch and Wiltz.
• Pamper yourself with thermal health treatments, and enjoy the sports and leisure facilities in the spa town of Mondorf-les-Bains.
• Visit the small village of Schengen, where the Moselle marks the meeting of three countries (Luxembourg, France and Germany), which has become internationally known after the ‘Schengen Agreement' was signed here in 1995.
