If magic can happen anywhere in 21st-century Europe, it may well be here. Just 57km wide and 82km long, the Grand Duchy is Europe’s third-smallest country. Not that size is an issue.

Several daily flights connect Luxembourg to London, Frankfurt and Paris, providing quick and easy connections to Europe’s most important financial centres. The country has excellent road and rail infrastructure. The railway network is efficient and extremely well-connected to major European hubs, making tra- velling to Paris, Frankfurt or Brussels simple. Paris is only two hours and ten minutes from Luxembourg on the East European High-Speed line. Luxembourg is one of the capitals of the European Union. Over a dozen im- portant institutions are based here, including the European Court of Auditors, the European Investment Bank (EIB), the European Investment Fund (EIF), the Secretariat-General of the European Parliament, various departments of the European Commission, the Court of Justice of the European Union, Eurostat (the EU’s statistical office), the Publications Office of the European Union, the Translation Centre for the Bodies of the European Union, the European Free Trade Association Court, the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, and the EuroHPC.
