Strassen is a modern and affluent municipality bordering Luxembourg City directly to the west. Its name is derived from the Latin 'strata,' reflecting its location on the ancient Roman road from Reims to Trier. This historical significance as a transit point has shaped Strassen's development up to the present day. The commune is known for its high quality of life, top-tier medical facilities such as the Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg (CHL), and a diverse cultural scene. 'Les Thermes,' a futuristic wellness and swimming center, is famous far beyond the municipality's borders. Strassen is characterized by a highly international population, as many EU officials and financial sector employees reside here. Despite its urban character, the town has numerous green spaces and parks for relaxation. The municipality has evolved from a rural village into a dynamic suburb that combines tradition with cosmopolitan flair. The Paul Barblé Cultural Center serves as the heart of local community life.
