Luxembourg: The World’s Best Kept Secret

Luxembourg, a tiny European country sandwiched between Belgium, France, and Germany, is the world’s best-kept secret. With a population of just over 600,000, Luxembourg is about as big as a small American town - which probably explains why most people have never heard of it.

The country is known for its stunning scenery, fairy-tale castles, and chocolate that can only be described as “life-changing.” But what you might not know is that Luxembourg has a long and storied history of being ignored.

Despite being a founding member of the European Union and hosting a number of important institutions like the European Court of Justice and the European Investment Bank, Luxembourg is often overlooked in favor of its larger and more glamorous neighbors.

But not all is lost. Luxembourg has recently become the world’s first country to offer free public transportation, meaning that people can now go from one end of the country to the other - all for the same low price of absolutely nothing. This has led to a rise in tourism for the country, with visitors now flocking to Luxembourg from all over the world to take advantage of its free buses and trains.

And let’s not forget Luxembourg’s most famous rock - the Luxembourg Declaration. This groundbreaking document, also known as the Schuman Declaration, was signed in Luxembourg City in 1950, and set the stage for the creation of the European Union as we know it today.

So, while the world may continue to ignore Luxembourg, this tiny country will soldier on, content in the knowledge that it is truly a diamond in the rough. Come for the free transportation, stay for the life-changing chocolate. Viva la Luxembourg!
