Quartier européen, European Union institutions district in Kirchberg, Luxembourg.
The European Quarter is an administrative district on the Kirchberg Plateau that houses the main institutions of the European Union. The area spans across a large expanse and connects modern office buildings through wide boulevards and organized public spaces.
The district's importance began in 1952 when Luxembourg became the first seat of the European Community for Coal and Steel. Since then, the area has grown into a central place of European integration.
The district shows its international character through its daily presence of officials and diplomats from across Europe, who fill the offices, cafes, and restaurants. Walking through the area, you notice the mix of languages spoken and the professional atmosphere that defines the neighborhood.
The area is best explored on foot, as many parts are connected by pedestrian zones and are restricted to vehicles. The best time to visit is during the daytime on weekdays, when the quarter is full of activity and open entrances.
The quarter hosts several permanent courts and financial institutions that maintain their main offices here. Many visitors do not realize that this place is essential every day to European justice and financial policy.
