Luxembourg is a small landlocked country in Western Europe and the world's only remaining Grand Duchy (constitutional monarchy ruled by Grand Duke). One of the six founding members of the European Union (1957), Luxembourg is also a founding member of NATO, Benelux, and the United Nations. Despite its tiny size (2,586 km², smaller than Rhode Island), Luxembourg has the world's highest GDP per capita and is a major international financial center. Luxembourg City, the capital, features dramatic geography with the old town perched on cliffs above the Alzette and Pétrusse valleys (UNESCO World Heritage Site). The country is officially trilingual - Luxembourgish (national language), French (administrative), and German (administrative) - and 48% of residents are foreign nationals, making it extremely multicultural. Visitors are drawn to Luxembourg City's fortifications and old town, Bock Casemates underground tunnels, Grund neighborhood, European institutions (Court of Justice, European Investment Bank), Vianden Castle, Mullerthal 'Little Switzerland' hiking region, Moselle wine valley, free public transport (nationwide since 2020), and castle country. Luxembourg offers European sophistication, medieval charm, and multicultural atmosphere in a compact, wealthy nation.
