Kayl, Luxembourg

At just under 10,000 residents, Kayl is a small town in southwestern Luxembourg that offers a sleepy, uneventful existence. The population of the town center itself is a mere 5,981, making this a decidedly provincial outpost. While the town's name has remained remarkably consistent since the 13th century, the bureaucratic hassles of living in Luxembourg are a persistent headache.

This is the type of place where the most noteworthy residents are a former ophthalmologist and a retired cyclist. If you're seeking an anonymous, tranquil life away from the bustle, Kayl could be your cup of tea. But for the more adventurous, this backwater town offers little to get excited about.
