Luxembourg meets the World
The Aurora Borealis, also called the Northern Lights, are one of the 25 world wonders. It is a natural light display in the sky mostly seen in the Arctic and Antartica. There are two different auroras, the Aurora borealis (Northern Lights) and the Aurora Australis (Southern Lights). The chance to see the Northern Lights is higher as for the Southern Lights.
The Golden Circle is perhaps the most visited tour to do in the Southwest of Iceland. It’s basically a tour of 230 km from Reykjavik and back. There are a few other points, which you can include to your Golden Circle Tour, e.g. Kerið volcano crater, Hveragerði greenhouse village, Skálholt church, and the Nesjavellir or Hellisheidarvirkjun geothermal power plant or even snorkel between two tectonically plates.
Reykjavik is the capital city of Iceland and the most northern situated capital city on earth. It is located in the southwest of Iceland and has a population over 120.000. It’s one of the cleanest and also safest cities in the world. Reykjavík got its name probably from Ingólfur Arnarson. He is considered as the first settler of Iceland in 870. Today, the city of Reykjavík is 234 years old.
Finally we had snow in Luxembourg. Last winter, we didn’t have the chance to have everything covered in white outside. But this year, we are really spoiled with snow. So I had to take the opportunity to make pictures of our capital city in the snow. Besides the snow, I want to show you the 10 things to see in Luxembourg City.
Aachen, also called Aix-la-Chapelle in French, is a small city in Germany near the Belgium and Dutch Border. It has 241.683 habitants, which is not that much in comparison with Cologne, which has 1.034.175 habitants. Even if Aachen is not that far away from Luxembourg, it has a large difference when it comes to rainy days. I visited Aachen many times during the last two years and on almost every day, it rained. If you ask the people living there, they always will recommend you to have your umbrella with you!
