Echternach's historic market square is definitely worth a visit! This square is the vibrant heart of the city, attracting both locals and tourists. With its rich history, charming architecture, and lively atmosphere, Echternach's market square offers a unique experience not to be missed during your visit to Luxembourg. The square was always the hub of the city, where trade was conducted. Later, it developed into a bustling place where markets and festivals were held. Over the centuries, the square has undergone many changes but has retained its original charm.

The architecture surrounding the market square is a blend of various architectural styles, including Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance. The beautiful facades of the buildings exude a sense of grandeur. One of the most striking buildings is the town hall, which dates back to the 15th century. With its imposing towers and detailed facade, the town hall is an architectural highlight on the square. In 1374, the building was purchased by Wilhelm von Kempen, the abbot of Echternach and lord of the town, to house the administration. The house burned down in 1444 but was later given its current appearance. During World War II, it was partially destroyed. In 1994, the building was restored again by the Department of Landscapes and Monuments. The current town hall is located next to the historic one.

Besides admiring the beautiful architecture, there are other sights to discover on Echternach's market square. Visit the Willibrord Basilica, an impressive building with a rich history. Stroll through the narrow streets surrounding the square and discover charming cafés, restaurants, and shops. Don't forget to take a look at the statues that adorn the square. From the town, you can also take the beautiful Felsenweg 1 walk, which largely runs through the Mullerthal region.

Echternach's market square is not only a place for architecture and history, but also for lively events. During the annual Springprocesis festival, which takes place on the Tuesday after Pentecost, the square is transformed into a festive venue where thousands of people gather to dance in the traditional Springprocession. This unique event is on the UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage and is a spectacle not to be missed.
