Tucked within the wooded valleys of Europe’s heart, Luxembourg City blends medieval architecture with dramatic landscapes. This classic vintage postcard features a dynamic trio of views: the ornate Palais Grand-Ducal, the sweeping Panorama of Ville Haute with its iconic viaduct, and the elegant twin spires of Notre-Dame Cathedral. Together, these scenes offer a striking impression of the city’s rich heritage and storybook atmosphere.

Published by Messageries Paul Kraus, Luxembourg, and postmarked during the Exposition Philatélique Internationale de Jeunesse (1969), this card carries both visual and postal significance. The handwritten message fondly describes the city as a “quaint fairy tale place”, referencing landmarks such as Radio Luxembourg. The front is enhanced by the Grand Duchy’s red lion crest, bringing together civic pride and continental flair.

With wear and light creasing that reflect authentic postal use, this postcard remains a colourful fragment of 1960s European travel history, perfect for collectors of Luxembourg ephemera, Grand Tour correspondence, or heraldic-themed cards.
