A local would say...

They call it 'Europe's most beautiful balcony' — a rampart walk where the entire city drops away beneath your feet.

Hailed as 'Europe's most beautiful balcony', this pedestrian view-promenade winds along the course of the former 17th-century city ramparts above the dramatic Alzette and Pétrusse valley gorges. The three-tiered city landscape — the high plateau, the middle valleys and the lower Grund quarter — is visible in a single glance from certain points along the Corniche. The Bock Casemates beneath are a honeycomb of damp 18th-century subterranean passages.
