Luxembourg Travel Guide

Luxembourg is a small but wealthy country in Western Europe, bordered by Belgium, France, and Germany. Officially a Grand Duchy, the only one left in the world, it’s known for its high standard of living, dramatic landscapes, and a blend of medieval and modern you feel the moment you arrive.

The capital, Luxembourg City, is built across deep gorges that give it some of the most spectacular views in Europe. Its old quarter, the Grund, is a UNESCO World Heritage site of stone houses and narrow lanes, with the Bock Casemates, a network of underground defensive tunnels, carved into the cliffs below. These are some of the best things to do in Luxembourg before you even leave the city.

Beyond the capital, the country is full of forests and fairytale castles. Vianden Castle is the standout, while the Mullerthal Region, nicknamed “Little Switzerland”, offers hiking through rock formations and waterfalls. Local cuisine is worth seeking out too, from hearty Judd mat Gaardebounen to crispy Gromperekichelcher.

Getting around is easy: Luxembourg was the first country in the world to make all public transport free, and the capital is well connected by train from Paris and Brussels. It’s trilingual (Luxembourgish, French, and German), uses the euro, and ranks among Europe’s safest and cleanest destinations. This guide brings together everything you need to plan your trip — top sights, local food, and practical travel tips.
