Engineering highlights include the 1903 Adolphe Bridge and the modern Pfaffenthal glass elevator, which connects the city center to the Alzette valley. Visitors can explore the remains of Spanish fortifications, the Citadel of the Holy Spirit, and the iconic "Red Bridge" spanning the deep river gorges.
