Luxembourg's diminutive capital is a marvelously contrasting mix of the old and the new. The old part of the city runs along a deep valley beneath brooding casemates -- given World Heritage status in 1995 -- that have lent themselves readily to defense in times of war, while the more modern part of town crowns steep cliffs overlooking the old. The city (pop. 120,000) is the headquarters of the European Court of Justice and of the European Investment Bank, and is one of the three seats of the European Parliament. But despite the banks and Euro-office towers, the city has retained plenty of its small-scale, provincial ambience.
