Bock Casemates & Fortress Tours
Go beneath the “Gibraltar of the North”: the Bock Casemates are 17 km of tunnels carved into Luxembourg’s cliffs from 1644, part of the UNESCO-listed fortress that made the city one of Europe’s strongest strongholds. Guided old-town tours tell the fortress story from the ramparts above and the galleries below.

Why is Luxembourg called the Gibraltar of the North?
Its clifftop fortress, ringed by three defensive walls and kilometres of casemates, was considered nearly impregnable — hence the nickname.
