Luxembourg is the "lux" in Benelux, which includes Belgium and the Netherlands. Luxembourg shares borders with France, Germany, and Belgium.
Luxembourg is small. It's 51 miles long and 32 miles wide, with a population of fewer than 500,000 people. Luxembourg has lots of rivers; the most important being the Moselle, the Sûre, the Our, and the Alzette.

Currency: Luxembourg uses the Euro.
Languages: "Lëtzebuergesch" or Luxembourgish is the national language. It is taught in schools, but French and German are also spoken widely and are considered the "official languages." French is the administrative language. English is common, especially in larger villages and tourist destinations within Luxembourg.
Tipping: A service charge of 15% is added to your food bill at a restaurant, so a tip isn't mandatory, but many people add a Euro or two for good service.
Shopping: Villeroy & Boch's crystal factories in the village of Septfontaines are open to visitors.
