We began our vacation by flying into Luxembourg and spending two nights in the Novotel Luxembourg Centre. The hotel was very clean and conveniently located to the city center. It was an easy 10 to 15 minute walk to get to the historic center. There are plenty of shops and restaurants, especially outdoor cafes. We did not eat at the hotel restaurant (other than breakfast), but those in our group that did had favorable comments. Breakfast was a very good typical European breakfast. On the second day we had a wonderful tour guide, Mark, who walked us around the city. We would highly suggest that you walk along the wall, there are spectacular views.

Do not miss sites in Luxembourg: Notre Dame Cathedral (Our Lady of Luxembourg) and the Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial, the burial place of General Patton and American soldiers who died in World War II. The cemetery is a very moving experience.

Our third day consisted of an hour and a half ride through the countryside to Remich to meet up with the AmaLegro on the Moselle River. This was a very pleasant ride and our guide was full of historic information. We arrived in Remich around noon, which is three hours prior to boarding time. However, we were allowed onto the boat and provided with a light lunch in the lounge and were then able to spend time walking around Remich. Around two-thirty we returned to the boat and our rooms were ready. Read more
