4. Visit Clervaux Castle

What: One of Luxembourg’s nicest
Where: Montée du Château, L-9712 Clervaux
When: 26 December until 4.30pm – more info here

Perched high above the town, Clervaux Castle offers visitors a glimpse into Luxembourg’s medieval past, with origins dating back to the 12th century. Severely damaged during the Second World War, it was carefully restored and remains one of the region’s most striking landmarks. A visit on St. Stephen’s Day is as much about the dramatic setting and historic atmosphere as it is about the views over Clervaux below.
