Badger's opinion

This small principality is so often overlooked – which in many respects is a pity since it can offer some wonderful roads in parts. Being in the centre of Northern Europe (whilst standing on its own, with its own institutions - remember Radio Luxembourg?), it is a mixture of French, German and Belgian influences. Well worth travelling through en route. The same incidentally also goes for two other small principalities namely Liechtenstein and Monaco.
