Luxembourg is charming and it's obvious that you'll want to bring a piece of it with you. If basic magnets and postcards are not enough, then our material<\/a> will help. I warn you right away that even the prices<\/a> for trinkets are quite high, unlike other European countries, but the memory of the emotions experienced is priceless, right?<\/p>\n

The best souvenir shops in the capital are located around Place D'armes. If you come in December, ideally, you will go to a large Christmas market. Souvenir shopping, which can be organized by a tour operator<\/a>, goes well with local hot drinks and delicious pastries. By the way, we talked about the best fairs here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the fair they usually buy Christmas tree decorations, all kinds of snow globes, knitted items, and handmade items. And regardless of the season, figurines of Roman<\/a> landmarks, mugs, and souvenir T-shirts are most often brought from Luxembourg. But there are more interesting and authentic options.<\/p>\n

New Year's toys<\/h2>\n

New Year's toys are a popular travel collection among experienced travelers. Although this is a topic for another material. By the way, toys are bought without reference to the season. But since the holidays are coming up, why not mention it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Luxembourg, like many European countries<\/a>, is preparing for Christmas markets on a huge scale. Already from the beginning of November you can find the most gorgeous painted toys for the Christmas tree or for home decor. Nutcrackers, ballerinas, elves, steam locomotives, dolls<\/a>, balls with images of planets. Glass, wood, metal – the materials are also very diverse.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

Whistles\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Clay whistle toys in the shape of birds are an unofficial symbol of the duchy. Since ancient times, Luxembourgers have given such souvenirs<\/a> to their children during Easter week. In the south of the country, on the eve of the holiday, they even organize a whole themed “bird festival”. Cute whistles come in a variety of shapes and bright colors and are sold everywhere. One of the most affordable souvenirs. You can find something in the range of 3-5 euros per piece. Of course, handmade is more valuable.<\/p>\n

Ceramics<\/h2>\n

If you don\u2019t like magnets, then buy mugs, plates, vases, and ceramic dishes depicting the symbols and landscapes of the duchy. There are products the size of a keychain, and there are those whose transportation<\/a> may pose problems. A pair of tea can be found and bought for 10 euros, a beer mug for 12-15.<\/p>\n

Containers for spices<\/h2>\n

I have already talked about one of the main attractions<\/a> of the city of Luxembourg – the Adolphe Bridge<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> and once upon a time near this bridge there were huge sales points where merchants and artisans sold their products. Both then and now, most products featured the image of the bridge itself.<\/p>\n

In Luxembourg you can find many souvenirs with characteristic designs, but spice bottles are the most popular. It all started with them. It is clear that the designs on the souvenir can also be different, but the gift itself is very common. What is equally important is functional. Now I regret that I didn\u2019t buy it for myself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tea<\/h2>\n

Luxembourgers are tea connoisseurs. On the shelves you can find dozens of types of my favorite drink. The most famous variety is “Duke\u2019s Collection”. Very aromatic tea, delicate, delicate taste without a sharp or bitter aftertaste. Teas can be found in any souvenir or regular store, bought by weight or in gift wrapping.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

Chocolate\u00a0<\/h2>\n

You can grab some chocolates for tea. I wrote more about the country\u2019s cuisine here<\/strong><\/a>, but I still consider chocolate more of a souvenir than a separate dish. The local delicacy is not inferior in quality to the popular Belgian or Swiss ones.<\/p>\n

Here, too, there are small family productions with their own recipes ,<\/a> which are passed on from generation to generation. So I strongly recommend taking a stroll through the confectioneries of Luxembourg, trying the chocolate yourself and bringing it as a gift. The most popular brand of sweets is “Knippecher”.<\/p>\n

Sketchbooks\u00a0<\/h2>\n

If you or your loved ones are lovers of “stationery”, then all kinds of notebooks, sketchbooks, and notebooks will be a great success. In addition, take pens, markers, sets of watercolor pencils depicting landmarks and<\/a> symbols of the duchy. The paper in the notebooks is high quality, thick, and in some cases even aromatic.<\/p>\n

Clothes<\/a> and accessories<\/h2>\n

Shopping in Luxembourg is excellent due to the compactness of the country. The main shopping centers are located close to each other. Everything can be covered in a day. It\u2019s better to buy a little further from the center – it\u2019s cheaper there. The biggest sales<\/a> and discounts are twice a year: after the winter holidays and in the summer from July. But I still remind you that Luxembourg is expensive, but you can find chic designer items that are not found anywhere else in the world. By the way, if you are interested in big discounts, then take a look at this text<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What else should you pay attention to?<\/h2>\n

If your budget allows, then look towards luxury items and art. Paintings, branded items, jewelry. There are many galleries in Luxembourg. A note for art lovers. You can purchase both “classics” and masterpieces of modern art or works by young artists. Most of the galleries are located on Grand Rue and nearby. Luxembourg is an expensive country and it can offer corresponding pleasures, it all depends on your needs.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget about the excellent cuisine of the duchy – bring wines from Luxembourg, especially Riesling, pear vodka, liqueurs, cheeses, Ardennes ham and sweets.<\/p>\n

And let whatever you choose perform the main function of any souvenir – remind you of how much you enjoyed your trip and encourage you to go somewhere new as soon as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
