A SYMPHONY FOR ALL SENSES. Philharmonie Luxembourg & Tempo Bar.
Coming from the center and crossing Grand Duchesse Charlotte Bridge one of the city’s remarkable landmarks appears: The Philharmonie Luxembourg. Forming the entrance to the business and commercial district Kirchberg, the concert hall attracts attention by itself. Built from 2002 on by architect Christian de Portzamparc and inaugurated 3 years later, it is an architectural icon of […]
WALDHAFF. EATING OUT IN THE WILD.
La Sauvageonne in Waldhaff is as wild as its name – at least regarding the location of this charming lunch and dinner destination. In the middle of the forrest, surrounded by nothing but trees and greens (ok, and a main road nearby that one doesn’t really hear), this place is closer to nature as most […]
COCOTTES COQUETTES. FRESH and FABULOUS.
Since Luxembourg is a very relaxed city, you don’t find a lot of fast food. And if so, it’s (ok, besides a few big fast food chains that we all cannot run away from anywhere in the world), quite often more slow food and more and more home made. A very good example for those […]
PRETTY PAVILLON PAUSE. At Parc Merl.
Luxembourg has many pretty parks to offer for nice walks, romantic rests and picnics. Ok, if the weather allows… But when spring has sprung it’s time to reinaugurate the outdoor season surrounded by flowers and greens. Parc Merl in walking distance from the center has a special feature (again) from the 2018 season on. The […]
PANAME. BUT NOT PARIS
When a friend told me that Paris was also called Paname, just like the cafe that we were about to enter, I was surprised and had never heard of that nick name before. It is indeed related to the Republic of Panama. Either in terms of the painful memory to a financial scandal in the […]
THEATRE LUXEMBOURG. THE GRAND.
The Grand Théâtre de la Ville de Luxembourg was designed by the French architect and sculptor Alain Bourbonnais in a style typical of the 1960s. A true feast for eyes, ears, well, all senses! On the theater’s agenda, lovers of performing art find contemporary dance choreographed by ballet legends like Pina Bausch or living masters like […]
MUSE BY … AMUSEMENT FOR INDEPENDENT FASHION LOVERS.
Two stores, two stories: muse by … is all about luxury, but not necessarily in the classical sense. In contrast to the muse by … store at Rue Philippe II in Luxembourg City where you will find well picked pieces by Valentino, Céline, Vivetta and other famous brands, the other store at Avenue de la […]
BLOOM. Berlin (Mitte) vibes in Luxembourg.
One very likeable thing about Luxembourg is the fact that new places don’t spring up like mushrooms in the Grand Duchy. Which slows down and makes you stick to your favorite places even more. But of course it’s refreshing to discover new spots such as Blooms in the more and more developed (others would say […]
HOSTELLERIE DU GRÜNEWALD. (Still) MARBELIOSO!
It was quite a loss when Chez Brigitte in Dommeldange closed; above all style wise, as the neon writing on the shiny black tiles behind the marble bar was just a stunning motif to name but one. Classic dishes like Bouche à la Reine or a perfect “Wiener Schnitzel” either inside or on the beautiful terrace […]
MUDAM. MODERN ART AND ARCHITECTURE.
A visit at Mudam is already worth its little store and its café alone – for having a coffee, a piece of tart or just a book. The French designers Erwan and Ronan Bouroullec helped to create a spacious, open relaxation area in Luxembourg’s “Musée d’Art Moderne” where you could easily spend an hour or two […]
