Place Guillaume II
The heart of Luxembourg's historic district, Place Guillaume II is known as knuedler, or knot, because of the Franciscan monks that once inhabited a monastery here. The knot in the rope that is part of the monk's attire is called a knuedler. A town hall replaced the monastery in the 19th century and continues to dominate the square's western side. A ring of trees provides shade and frames a tall statue of Grand Duke William II on horseback placed on a pedestal in the center of the square.

Food was really good and the location is great. The tables are quite close to each other but I did not mind that at all. The only one thing I would say is that is there is quite a long wait between co... more »

One of the main squares of the city. Nice bars around and in summer, you might find yourself in front of a big stage for a free concert

You gonna love this place. Provides lot of activities all year long. Best in christmas time with catering, hot drinks and ice skating arena.

This square had been under rénovations for quite some time and even before that was just a square without many shops. There's a decent vegetarian restaurant in one corner and a fancy seafood place.
