Did You Know?
Luxembourg City's defences included about 23 kilometres of tunnels cut into the rock, the Bock casemates, which could shelter thousands. The 1867 Treaty of London required the fortress to be demolished; the tunnels were too structurally entangled with the city to remove and were sealed instead.
The clock: Luxembourg keeps UTC+1 and draws around 200,000 cross-border commuters daily from France, Belgium and Germany — all on the same hour, which is the only reason the arrangement works.
