My 20th country to visit, 25th solo backpacking trip, 5th visa application for tourism on entire single page, and of course, usual budget do-it-yourself itinerary from arrival to departure.
Benelux is a union of states comprising three neighbouring countries in midwestern Europe: Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. Luxembourg, officially the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, is a landlocked country in western Europe, bordered by Belgium, France, and Germany. Reflecting its geographic position, Luxembourg's culture is a fusion of Romance and Germanic Europe, borrowing customs from each of the distinct traditions. Luxembourg is a trilingual country: Luxembourgish, French and German are official languages. Although a secular state, Luxembourg is predominantly Roman Catholic.

Luxembourg Train Station arrival by day; (coming from Bern, Switzerland)
Overnight train travel from Bern to Luxembourg was relaxing with no hassle and interruption even though there were 2 stop-overs. No hassle means absolutely no immigration security check anywhere and no interruption means no delay on train departure/arrivals. I arrived exactly the same time as specified in e-ticket.
Anyways, I divided this wonderful journey into different set of posts to be more specific on its content;
