It is located two kilometers south of the city center (or Ville-Haute ), south of the Pétrusse river ; it gives its name to one of the city's districts. It is operated by the Luxembourg National Railway Company (CFL). Public transport is free.

Pont Adolphe

Content: The Pont Adolphe, also called Pont Neuf, was built between 1900 and 1903, under the reign of Grand Duke Adolphe. Since it was the largest stone arch bridge ever built, its construction aroused great interest even abroad. The large double arch, whose span measures 85 m, overlooks the Pétrusse valley to a height of 42 m. The total length of the bridge is 153 m.

Vallée de la Pétrusse

Content: The gorge-like valley "Vallée de la Pétrusse" lies between the center of Luxembourg City and the station district and extends over a length of 1,750 m and a width of 50 to 150 m in an east-west direction. The valley gets its name from the Pétruss stream. This currently flows through the valley in a concrete shell. The Vallée de la Pétrusse is of particular importance in many respects due to its exposed location, its historical and garden-historical importance, its biotope-networking functions and the high pressure of use by the urban population and tourists. In order to meet the resulting diverse requirements for a forward-looking park design, the city of Luxembourg is planning a comprehensive revitalization of the entire valley: A park is to be created that combines the concerns of nature conservation, monument protection and the concerns of leisure and local recreation use provides a sustainable framework.

Église Saint-Michael

Over the centuries, the church was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt, modified and enlarged. The present appearance of the church corresponds to the one it received in 1688. Due to its turbulent history, the building, which was restored in the 1960s and 1980s, today brings together elements of Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque architecture.

Chemin de la Corniche

Content: The Corniche, also called “the most beautiful balcony in Europe” (according to the Luxembourg writer Batty Weber), extends over the ramparts erected in the 17th century by the Spaniards and the French. While skirting the Alzette valley, the path leads from the Bock rock to the lower part of the Citadel of the Holy Spirit known as the washers. Until 1870, some steep slopes of the Corniche were still provided with stairs; it was only after the dismantling that they were leveled. A large part of the battlements lined with crenellations also had to give way, offering a superb view of the Alzette valley, the lower town of Grund and the Plateau du Rham.
