Diekirch situated on the borders of the river "Sûre" and surrounded by picturesque heights such as "Haardt", "Goldknapp", "Seitert" and "Herrenberg" is one of this small towns that satisfies the tourist which has an eye for the "couleur locale" (local color). It is the old quarter, now changed in a pedestrian zone with shops, cafés, old streets and small passages recently restored and last but not least a big open terrace square in the midst of the center where in the summer public concerts, folklore and games follow each other, that attracts the tourist amazement and make them call for a good and genuine "Diekirch Beer"!If you are an adept of history it is in the old quarter that you will discover within the setting of old time houses, the jewel of the town, the old St. Laurentius Church. Classified as an historical monument, the church was erected on the remains of an important roman villa. Roman mosaiques found in the same location are exposed in the Municipal Museum of Roman Mosaiques.Quite an other museum which is worthwhile of a detour is the National Museum of Military History that with support of super sized dioramas brings back to memory the most significant events of the Battle of the Bulge 1944-1945.
