Staying in Vianden
Vianden is a small Luxembourg town on the Our River, known for its medieval castle, one of the largest in Europe, and for its literary link to Victor Hugo, who lived here in exile. The old town is compact and most sights sit within walking distance, though some paths to the castle climb. The Our River forms the border with Germany, and the valley is popular for hiking and cycling. With a population of around 2,000, Vianden keeps a quiet, traditional feel outside the main season.
These four hotels sit in different parts of town. Ancien Cinema Loft is on Grand Rue in the historic core, 0.1 km from the centre, close to shops and restaurants. Gorgeous Home In Vianden With Wifi and B&b Belvedere are both on Route De Diekirch, 0.4 km and 0.5 km from the centre. Chalet Bous Breinchen is on Rue Du Sanatorium, 0.5 km out, away from the busiest streets. The mix suits couples, families and short-break visitors who want space, parking and easy access to the castle and river.
