Luxembourg is one of the smallest countries in the entire continent of Europe. It has a population of the slightly above 500,000 people. There are two main languages spoken in Luxembourg which are French and German. English is spoken by only a handful of the locals who study it as a second language. An interesting thing most people do not know about Luxembourg is that it is the founding member of the European Union. This gives the country all the right reasons to be popular not only around Europe but also around the world as well.

For those who choose Luxembourg as their holiday destination, it is important to note that cheap flights to Luxembourg are hard to get. There may be cheap flights from the country or to other places within the country but all these depends on a number of factors especially the weather. Cheap flights can be found especially during the winter as most tourists do not fly to Luxembourg because of the cold weather. However this trend slightly changes towards Christmas when people take flights to celebrate Christmas away from their home countries.

There are several art galleries around the major cities of Luxembourg where art lovers can view or even buy artistic pictures and decorations. One can also spend time at museums and theatres where many other locals spend their time. Theatre lovers are sure to find more than enough theatres across Luxembourg. Unfortunately, most of the plays stages in these theatres are in French or German so it may be extremely hard to enjoy the performances in a language one does not understand. There are only a few plays most of which are in schools or art center for the purposes of teaching students and other learners the English language and its day to day usage.
