The Casemates, a must for Luxembourg City tourists!

(ADW) The Casemates to Luxembourg City, are as the Atomium or  Manneken pis are to Brussels; an absolute must for tourists visiting the capital.

The number of visits in 2013 season proves this with a total of 121,338 people visiting the two Casemates in Luxembourg City between March and November of this year, an increase of 9.1 percent.

"In four years this is an increase of 35.5 percent compared to 2009", declared the the Luxembourg City Tourist Office (LCTO) in a statement.

These statistics play an important part in the general upward tourist trends already reported in September by the LCTO for its mid-season report. It stated that tourism in the capital this year recorded an increase of 5.5 percent in visitors compared to 2012.

Although the Casemates du Bock has now closed for the season, it will reopen its doors to visitors on March 1, 2014.
