Walk through Luxembourg’s municipal park, beginning among open lawns and planted greenery at Kinnekswiss. The route then draws your attention to individual trees in the park, on Square Robert Brasseur, beside Méchelskierch, and in the valley setting of Pétrusdall. Each stop shows how a tree changes the character of its surrounding open space, from formal public ground to churchyard edge and wooded valley. Take this walk to notice the city through its living landmarks rather than through buildings alone.
