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.

On place Guillaume II you have quite a good restaurant and you are close to all Luxembourg administrations and businesses. Namely that the place is in the works for still a long time and that Luxembourg City is under construction everywhere.View original -
Under major renovation so not good for photos but still worth visiting. I visited the William Square at Saturday market time; there were stalls with fresh vegetables and flowers, cheese and baked cake... more »

Nothing much to describe... It is a quiet area in Luxembourg... There is a church and some cafés and restaurants...

It is ok. Nothing here is extremely beautiful. There is a city hall but despite that nothing more. When I was there was also very rainy and there was lacking the mood to walk around. There is a little tourist shop where you can buy some Luxembourg souvenirs and take a map to do a game around the city. That we really liked, even if is thought for children it could be fun for adults too.

Nice square surrounded with many nice shops and good restaurant. Had a very good lunch here.

A beautiful place in the center of Luxembourg city. Feel the might of centuries looking at you 😉
