**Flights from £95 return!**

Luxembourg is often overlooked amongst Europe's famous destinations. Time to put that right on a long weekend enjoying not only the Xmas markets and UNESCO Old Town of the capital, but also travelling out to the beautiful countryside for some hiking and wine tasting in the Moselle Valley.
We will also visit Trier in Germany to enjoy their markets, magnificent cathedral and Roman sights.
With everything included except flights (and they are cheap) let's enjoy a stress-free, convivial weekend together.

*The Itinerary (subject to change)*

**Thu 5 Dec**
From 6pm, we can visit the city to admire the architecture and enjoy the 'Winterlights'. We can visit the best Xmas markets on a small festive crawl, followed by drinks in a recommended bar. Expect plenty of vin choud and Gromperekichelcher (mulled wine and potato pancakes) and various other goodies amongst the myriads of lights and stalls.

**Fri 6 Dec**
Today we will take the train out to the countryside and enjoy a 3-hour hike (medium level, subject to weather) enjoying forests, fields, rivers and ending on the Moselle river.
We can then take the bus a short journey to a nearby winery where we will have a short tour and enjoy 3 types of sparkling wine special to this region.
The early evening gives you some free time to sample more markets in the city, find a place to eat and join me for drinks later.

**Sat 7 Dec**
Today we will take the fast train across the border to Trier, well known for not only it's traditional German Xmas market, but also a rich Roman history and charming Old Town. Afternoon return to enjoy our last night back in Luxemburg City.

Depending on flights, you have free time to visit any specific attractions in the city or we can have last food and drinks together at the markets.
