Luxembourg comes with a lot of superlatives. It’s the wealthiest country in Europe, the smallest country in Europe and one of the most livable countries in Europe. Show-offs. While we’re frankly tired of these European microstates, we have to admit that the local language, Luxembourgish, is pretty cool (to say, not to learn).
Other things you might not know about Luxembourg? The country produces award-winning wines! Luxembourg ranks No. 1 in the open for business category, meaning voters appreciate the country’s favorable tax environment (wink, wink).
