Why Grand Ducal Palace matters
The Grand Ducal Palace is a Renaissance-style building in the old centre. It opens to the public for guided tours in summer, and you can see the guard in front throughout the year. It's a short walk from the main square, so it fits easily into an old-town stroll.
Talking points
- Guided tours run in summer.
- The facade is Flemish Renaissance.
- It's in the heart of the old town.
