A
Luxembourg City History Museum
The Luxembourg City History Museum is another enjoyable multilevel complex, highlighted by a glass elevator that beautifully reveals the Old Town's rocky geology. Lower floors trace the city's history via a series of wooden maquettes, while the upper levels occupy splendid public rooms of a former mansion. Pick up the free English-language guide at reception.

B
National Museum of History and Art
The National Museum of History and Art is a state-of-the-art affair housed in a startling white building with a glass atrium. Take the glass elevator below ground to the prehistory section before winding up to Gallo-Roman remains. Level 2 is a must, home to the Salles Kutter, two rooms devoted to Luxembourg's Expressionist artist Joseph Kutter (1894-1941).
Level 3 does art from the 13th to 20th centuries - look out for a small watercolour of Luxembourg City by William Turner and a drawing of Schengen castle by Victor Hugo.

C
Modern Art Museum
Luxembourg's Modern Art Museum has had rave reviews. Created by Chinese-American architect Ieoh Ming Pei (responsible for the Louvre pyramid in Paris), the magnificent glass-roofed gallery harmoniously blends contemporary and old, with its turreted centrepiece and glass wings sitting back to back with a centuries-old Vauban fortress. The museum's collection includes everything from photography to fashion, design and multimedia.
Take bus 125 or 192 from Gare Centrale or Place Hamilius to the stop 'Fort Belaimont'.

Bank Museum
Where better than Luxembourg to spend an hour browsing through a Bank Museum? It's housed in the headquarters of the Banque et Caisse d'Épargne de l'État, one of Luxembourg's 180 banks, and traces 140 years of tradition and innovation in banking, from piggy banks to ATMs and bank robbers.
