Eight things to do and see if you are
STAYING IN LUXEMBOURG THIS SUMMER
OPEN-AIR CINEMA
STARRY, STARRY NIGHTS
Each summer the Cinémathèque unlocks its archives and screens a series of films for free in the courtyard of the Capucins theatre every Friday and Saturday night. Screenings are at 10 p.m. and the season starts on July 8 and runs until August 13--when the Cinémathèque team transfers to the Schueberfouer on the Glacis for special Crazy Cinématographe screenings of silent films in a show tent.

VIANDEN CASTLE
GET MEDIEVAL The castle at Vianden is perhaps the most popular tourist spot outside of the capital city, and the subject of countless gasps and swoons from visitors upon first spying the chateau on the rock above the town. But during the week of July 30 to August 7 the castle truly comes alive as host to its annual medieval festival featuring jousting knights, belly dancers, musicians and jesters and falconry displays. www.castle-vianden.lu
The Greater Region’s gardens offer some of the best family friendly day excursions. “Gardens Without Limits” is a network of more than 20 top-notch gardens in Luxembourg, Lorraine and Saarland, with themes ranging from botanic and medicinal to classical and contemporary. Staff choice is the “Garden of Senses” near Merzig (photo), where visitors can meander from the meditation garden to tone garden, and turns itself into the “garden of lights” each August.
