Luxembourg is a major financial center and hosts several important European Union institutions, including parts of the European Court of Justice and the European Investment Bank. The country has a trilingual population, with Luxembourgish, French, and German all in use. Its historic old town, perched on rocky cliffs above deep river valleys, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
