What's in Luxembourg?
Despite its size, Luxembourg packs a lot. It's broadly divided into two regions: รsling and Guttland. รsling (the north) is mainly rural despite the country's size. It's home to open landscapes, fields, small Germanic-style villages, and acre after acre of nature reserves.
The southern two-thirds of the country is home to the Guttland region, where rivers intertwine with cities, large towns, and the capital, Luxembourg City. Most students, home and international, find themselves in Guttland.
Luxembourgers are also known for being welcoming of those from elsewhere. Over half of the population wasn't born there. Luxembourgers will happily teach you one of the languages - particularly Luxembourgish - and help you navigate the culture and nuances of the country.
Luxembourg is a country packed with adventure and opportunities, all in a pocket size. This guide will tell you what you need to know about what it's like to study there - and how to get there.
