Souvenirs from Luxembourg

The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a small country, but there are many opportunities to enjoy history, art and beauty. Luxembourger souvenirs reflect the best traditions in European handicraft and are often turned into family heirlooms. Hand painted pottery, carved wooden toys and Christmas decorations, or a lovely clock are just a few of the pieces of memorabilia you can purchase. Luxury items, such as fine perfume, designer fashions and gold jewelry, are wonderful ways to remember a stroll down the streets full of upper end shops. Gastronomic souvenirs from Luxembourg are always popular and very portable, including dried sausages, canned puddings and Oesling hams. You may also wish to purchase dried herbs to turn into tea, or buy a beauty treatment infused with them. Of course, you will find carts full of colorful postcards, glittering water globes, plastic refrigerator magnets, printed key chains and slogan filled T-shirts in the markets.
