Just 2,586 square kilometres wedged between Belgium, Germany and France: for many Europeans, Luxembourg remains a geographical enigma, if not a historical incongruity. Yet it would be hard to find anywhere else on the continent a city of 85,000 inhabitants with the same influence as Luxembourg - a city that is both a financial centre and a major political decision-making centre for the European Union. It would also be hard to find a city and, further afield, a country as open as the Grand Duchy, where 41,% of the 47,6200 inhabitants are non-Luxembourgers, not to mention the 125,000 cross-border commuters who travel to Luxembourg every day to work. It's true that with a GDP per capita of almost 65,000 euros, the "Gibraltar of the North" remains highly attractive. All of which adds to the dynamism of a capital that really needs to be better known.
