The Grand Ducal Palace is the official residence of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, built in the 16th century and renowned for one of the most striking Flemish Renaissance facades in the old town. The palace's interior — including the Grand Duke's office, the dining room, and the ornate Salon des Rois — is open to visitors only through a guided tour organized by the Luxembourg City Tourist Office during the summer months. The rest of the year, the palace is viewable only from the street, where a ceremonial guard stands watch.
