In the Middle Ages, Vianden was a fortified town, surrounded by a ring wall with 24 semicircular towers and five city gates. In 1679, Marshal de Boufflers had parts of the wall demolished, so that only remnants remain today. Around 1850, the last two city gates – the upper gate in the upper town and the bridge gate – were also removed, as they were considered an obstacle.

Hiking

Be sure to take the path along the city wall. Great photo opportunities, views of the city's rooftops and the castle.
The entrances are signposted.
