Spend Time With Wealth

Here’s What It’s Like To Spend Time In The Wealthiest Country In The World
No, it’s not America. Surprisingly. As of 2023, Luxembourg is the richest country in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, with a value of  $135,700. 
Friel shared that one of the best parts of her trip was the hotels that she stayed in. She paid $275.50 for a one-night stay in a traditional queen room at Hotel Le Royal, a five-star hotel. The furniture and amenities were all there for her, and she had a complimentary fruit bowl and a box of chocolates as a gift. 
While all the luxury hotels she stayed in were very high-quality, Friel stated that the highlight of her trip was the public transportation in the country. It is the first country in the world to provide free mass transportation to both residents and visitors in 2022. Everything was easy to use, and the vehicles were clean and comfortable. 
If there was something she could say as a bad point about the city is that it was too quiet. While the country has 645,000 residents, most of them commute to Belgium, France, and Germany to work. “While the city was beautiful, the streets were very quiet when I visited,” Friel wrote. “When traveling solo, I usually prefer cities with a larger population, as they usually have a more lively and welcoming atmosphere, which makes it easier to meet new people and to feel less alone.”
So what is it like to visit such a wealthy place? Insider’s Mikhaila Friel decided to visit the country back in March, and she’s now back to tell her experience. She spent three nights in different luxury hotels and went to different tourist spots using Luxembourg’s free public transport.
