Fortification in Luxembourg City

Bock Casemates

The Bock Casemates are a UNESCO-listed network of underground tunnels and chambers carved into the rock cliff of the old city, originally built in 1644 and expanded over centuries. Entry is paid at a modest price. The tunnels stretch 17 kilometers and once sheltered 35,000 people during wartime. Budget travelers pay the cheap ticket and walk through the fortress tunnels with views out over the valley through cannon openings.
