Language
Squashed in between two major historical world powers (and having been
conquered at times by both of them), Luxembourg takes a good deal of its
identity from its neighbours' contributions. This shows itself both in the
generally amicable relationship between the countries and their citizens
and in their shared linguistic traits. Multilingualism is universal among
Luxembourgers, and both the German and French languages are used in the
press, in politics and in daily life. French is most common in government
and schools, though Luxembourgish is the language you'll hear most
frequently on the street. English is widely understood in tourist areas.
Food & Drinks
Luxembourg's cuisine is similar to that of Belgium's Wallonia region -
plenty of pork, fish and game - but also features some heavy German
influence in local specialties like liver dumplings with sauerkraut. Its
beer (like that of neighbouring Belgium) is not too shabby; neither are
the Moselle Valley's fruity white wines.
Art
Few Luxembourg natives are internationally famous in the arts, which
probably explains why Edward Steichen, a pioneer in American photography,
is held in such high regard in his homeland. While the capital has a few
good museums and galleries, few of the native artists seem to exhibit
beyond the country's border. Expressionist painter Joseph Kutter brought
modern art to Luxembourg. Roger Mandersheid is a respected contemporary
writer who often publishes in Luxembourgish.
