2025 Luxembourg Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

Luxembourg is this small landlocked country with charming architecture, old town, castles, bridges and the people. I would not really recommend it as an intended stop as it can be quite expensive and does not have as much to see compared to other neighboring European countries. However, highly recommended if you are on a road trip across Europe and have time to make a stop to visit. You can also hike around the country following set paths and take some height to see more from above. #luxembourg #wecreate #passionpassport #2023travelwish #tripblazers

Rarely will you find a country - especially with Luxembourg’s modest size – that showcases a harmonised mix of cultures so seamlessly. Nestled in between the much larger countries of Belgium, France and Germany, Luxembourg’s unique positioning means you’ll be treated to an array of different languages, cuisines, customs and other nuances. How I can best explain it is that the buildings of the country look like they’ve been taken straight out of a storybook. The buildings evoked understated, calming colours, elegance and sophistication, grace and refinement. Definitely worth a day or two if your travelling around Europe

Fully known as the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Luxembourg is surrounded by neighboring countries France, Germany and Belgium. It is a small inland country and the only remaining Grand Duchy of the European continent, the capital city of Luxembourg. Because of the small size of the country, the number of castles, and the name of "the pocket kingdom" and "the country of the thousand fort". It is natural for France and Germany not to say that it is a big country in Europe. Belgium, which is the headquarters of the EU, is also very important. However, it seems that Luxembourg has always had no sense of existence among these big countries. When I came to this land in person, I realized that Luxembourg was a highly developed capitalist country and one of the founding members of the European Union and NATO. It has several sub-institutions of the European Union, such as the European Court of Justice and the European Court of Auditors. And the European Investment Bank, known as the "third capital" of the European Union after Brussels and Strasbourg. At the same time, Luxembourg is also a highly developed industrial country, the most important private banking centre in the Eurozone, and the second largest investment trust centre in the world after the United States. Finance, radio and television, and steel are the three pillar industries of the economy. Luxembourg has a very low unemployment rate and its life expectancy is 80 years. It is worth mentioning that although Luxembourg's natural resources are scarce, the market is small, and the economy is highly dependent on foreign countries, the per capita GDP has ranked first in the world for many years. It turned out that Luxembourg is the real local country, but it is too low-key to appear to have no sense of existence.

Luxembourg's Old Town, just a kilometer in diameter, is packed with historical and scenic spots, making it a fun area to stroll around. 👀 The Grand Ducal Palace is the official residence of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg. 🏰 Its delicate Renaissance architecture is beautiful, and you can even tour the interior in the summer. 🙆 Place Guillaume II is the central square in the Old Town, and its iconic equestrian statue of Guillaume II, King of the Netherlands and Grand Duke of Luxembourg, is its symbol. ✨ A local market is also held here on weekends! Place de la Constitution is a hilltop square where the golden statue of the goddess "Gëlle Fra" stands. 🪽 Located right next to Notre Dame Cathedral, it offers a spectacular view of the Petrus Valley, making it a popular resting spot for tourists and locals alike. 🏞️ Pont Adolphe is Luxembourg's iconic arch bridge, offering views of the Petrus Valley from the bridge and is a popular photo spot. 🙆 Furthermore, a short walk away are the ruins of the Bock Battery and the Corniche Promenade, both of which we've introduced separately, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery and historical atmosphere of the old town. ☺️ Luxembourg is a place where you can enjoy history, architecture, and stunning views all in one easy half-day stroll. 🇱🇺 This is a must-visit spot for travellers to France, Belgium, or Germany. ✈️ #EuropeTravel #Luxembourg #LuxembourgTrip #LuxembourgOldTown #GrandDucalPalace #PlaceGuillaumeII #Constitution Square #Adolphe Bridge #Let's travel with Pochikatsu

The Bock Battery ruins and the Corniche Promenade, located on the outskirts of the city. This is also part of "Luxembourg City: Its Old Quarter and Fortifications." 📝 The Bock Battery ruins are a symbol of the fortified city, once known as the "Gibraltar of the North." ⚔️ You can also enter the interior briefly, walking through the tunnels to experience the history of defense. The Corniche Promenade, located right next to the battery ruins, is an elevated promenade known as "Europe's most beautiful balcony." 🚶 The view of the Grund district and the Alzette River below offers a cityscape that feels like a time travel back to old Europe. 🙆 This is a spectacular view that you should definitely visit when you visit Luxembourg. ✨ #EuropeTravel #Luxembourg #LuxembourgTrip #WorldHeritage #WorldHeritageTour #BockBatteryRuins #CornichePromenade #TravelWithPochi

Located in the heart of the old town, Notre-Dame Cathedral is part of the Luxembourg World Heritage Site "Luxembourg City: Its Old Quarter and Fortifications." It's a beautiful Gothic-style church built in the 17th century. ⛪️ Step inside and you'll be amazed by the dazzling stained-glass windows and Renaissance-style altar. ✨ If you're visiting as a tourist, the afternoon is especially recommended, as the stained-glass windows shine beautifully. 💡 Also, behind the cathedral is a gate engraved with the Grand Ducal coat of arms of Luxembourg, symbolizing the deep connection between the royal family and the cathedral. 👑 Be sure to check out this gate outside as well. 🔍 📍Access: A short walk from Place d'Armes and the Grand Ducal Palace. 💰Free admission (donation required) #Luxembourg #LuxembourgTrip #NotreDameCathedral #WorldHeritage #WorldHeritageTour #TravelWithPochi

When I started from France, I chose Luxembourg between Belgium and Luxembourg, which is one of the smallest countries in the world. I thought 2 days would be enough to explore the country, but the country is so beautiful and the relaxing atmosphere makes me not want to leave at all! The whole country is surrounded by trees, and transportation is completely free, which really saves a lot of money for a big family to travel! There is also the Luxembourg pass, which is a must-buy, and it costs about $500, so you can visit everywhere for free, it just depends on how much you can run, because many attractions are not in the city center, you have to take the train to the suburbs (of course the train is free). Luxembourg is a choice you won’t regret. If you are interested, please leave a message to communicate! #Parenting #EuropeanTravel #Free

Did you know? Many Christmas markets actually end before Christmas 😞 Think about the New Year holidays in Japan! I don't think I've ever heard of a place that closes before Christmas... In other words, if you want to see a Christmas market, you'll need paid leave. . . But isn't it hard to take time off at the end of the year because you have so many paid holidays piled up? 😢 Good news for you 👀✨ I'll teach you how to do it! It can accommodate most people's New Year holidays (or you can just add a little paid leave), so Try visiting a Christmas market in Luxembourg! Because it's held for such a long period of time! Most Christmas markets in European countries are open before Christmas or until the day itself. . . But Luxembourg is by far the longest! For example, in 2024, it was held from November 22, 2024 to January 1, 2025! 🚨They usually run until early January, but the dates change each year, so be sure to check before you go! Click here for more information about Luxembourg's Christmas markets! 🎄Location and period There are four major Christmas markets held in Luxembourg! Place d'Armes: Located in the center of the city, it is surrounded by restaurants and cafes. The entire square is decorated with Christmas decorations, and you can enjoy mulled wine and local cuisine. Constitution Square: Located on a hill, it is a great spot with a panoramic view of the city. It is also popular with families, with attractions such as a Ferris wheel and a merry-go-round. Place de Paris: It is characterized by a unified design with a row of wooden stalls. A giant trapeze is also installed to entertain visitors. Parc Kinnekswiss: A market held in a lush park. Local crafts and specialty products are lined up, and you can enjoy shopping while strolling. 🎅How to enjoy Christmas markets Warm up with mulled wine: In the cold season, warm yourself up with mulled wine (Weinstuba) provided at each market. The spicy taste is attractive! By the way, if you don't like alcohol, we recommend hot chocolate. Enjoy local cuisine: Try traditional Luxembourg dishes such as "Grönpelkischelcher". The fluffy texture is addictive 🤤 Enjoy attractions: At the Place de la Constitucion and the Place de la Paris, there are playground equipment such as Ferris wheels and merry-go-rounds. You can enjoy them with your family and friends. By the way, be careful because it's hard to do after drinking alcohol lol Enjoy shopping: At each market, local crafts and Christmas ornaments are sold. It might be a good idea to find your favorite item! 🚙Access information Each market in Luxembourg City is easily accessible by public transport or on foot. Also, the markets are concentrated in a relatively small area of ​​the city, so you can get around efficiently ◎ What's more, it's great that public transportation (buses and trains) within the country is free! Please take advantage of the New Year's holiday to visit Luxembourg's Christmas markets and fully enjoy their charm. #OverseasTravelGuide #Luxembourg

Luxembourg is a minor but recommended European country. It is a wealthy country with the world's highest GDP per capita for about 20 years. All public transportation in Luxembourg is free! There are trams running through the city from the central station, so try it out to see if it's true lol It's not that far to the old town, so I recommend walking🙆♀️ The architecture from the station to the bank is beautiful, so stop here and there to take photos📸 And on the way from the station to the old town, the famous Adolphe Bridge is a stone bridge named after a former archduke. The bottom of the bridge is arched and very stylish😉 Also, there is a valley below, so you can enjoy a spectacular view! Of course, you can enjoy gourmet food around the station, so be sure to explore the area. ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ 📍: Around Luxembourg Station, Luxembourg 📸: Canon EOS 5D MarkⅣ 💰: Free ✈︎----------------------------------------------✈︎ #Overseas seasonal places #Luxembourg #Europe travel #Europe sightseeing #Europe tour #luxembourg#Old town

The entire old town is registered as a World Heritage Site under the name "City of Luxembourg: its old quarters and fortifications" 🌎 The old town was a wonderful city, with buildings that evoked history wherever you walked. In the city, there is the Grand Ducal Palace of Luxembourg, a museum, and streets lined with luxury brands and souvenir shops, so there are many ways to enjoy it. Luxembourg is also famous for its gourmet food. There are many Michelin restaurants, so it is said to be a country of fine cuisine. Just walking around the city, you will encounter wonderful scenery. The bridge is so compact that you can enjoy the whole city in half a day! Be sure to take a walk around Luxembourg's old town. ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ 📍: Old town, Luxembourg 📸: Canon EOS 5D MarkⅣ 💰: Free ✈︎----------------------------------------------✈︎ #Overseas hot spots #Luxembourg #Europe travel #Europe tourism #Europe tour #luxembourg#Old town

The Panoramic Elevator is one of the recommended spots in Luxembourg. It's a hidden spot deep in the old town that you can enjoy for free! The 150-meter elevator connects the underground city with the old town on the cliff. The elevator is made of glass, so you can enjoy the panoramic view the whole time you're in it 😉 It was cloudy, but the view from the elevator was so beautiful that I went up and down twice lol I went during the day, but it seems even more beautiful at night when the city is lit up 😍 There are not many tourist attractions in the area, but the houses, churches, and bridges lined up are beautiful, so I stopped to take pictures 🤍 There may not be many Japanese people who visit Luxembourg, but I definitely recommend you go there at least once ~ ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ 📍: Panoramic elevator, Luxembourg 📸 : Canon EOS 5D MarkⅣ 💰: Free ✈︎----------------------------------------------✈︎ #Overseas seasonal places #Luxembourg #Europe travel #Europe sightseeing #Europe tour #luxembourg #panoramic elevator

The Ram Plateau is located near the Neumünster Abbey Cultural Center, which I introduced last time. It's not a plateau as you might imagine, but more like a hill. There were few people on the road, and it had a calm atmosphere. From the hill you can see Luxembourg's old town and the stylish cityscape below 😉 There are several low towers like the one in the second photo, so I recommend climbing them and looking at the city from a slightly higher vantage point! It seems that you can watch documentary videos for free on the towers. I climbed a little without knowing and then left... There is also a brick bridge that gives you a sense of history, and the fusion of history and modernity was beautiful. It's a minor country in Europe, so not many people visit, but because there are so few visitors, you can tour at a leisurely pace, so I recommend it! Please go and check it out~ ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ 📍: Rum Plateau, Luxembourg 📸: Canon EOS 5D MarkⅣ 💰: Free ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ #Overseas hot spots #Luxembourg #Europe travel #Europe tourism #Europe tour #luxembourg #fortified city

Speaking of hidden gems in Europe, Luxembourg is a small country that you can stop by when traveling from Belgium to Germany. Its area is as compact as Kanagawa Prefecture 😚 You can enjoy it in one day! Although it is a minor country in Europe, it has a high GDP per capita and is considered the richest country in the world. In addition, the scenery of the fortress and old city is beautiful, and the city is registered as a World Heritage Site 🌎 One of the places I recommend in the old city is the bridge called Pont du Grund and its surrounding area. You can see the scenery of Luxembourg's cute houses reflected in the river and see the fortress from a distance. It's not a special tourist destination, but I personally recommend it 🤍 There are relatively few people on the roads, so it's perfect for taking photos. There are also restaurants and bars nearby, so you can enjoy gourmet food as well 🙆♀️ Please stop by this bridge while you're out for a walk~ ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ 📍: Pont du Grund, Luxembourg 📸: Canon EOS 5D MarkⅣ ✈︎----------------------------------------------✈︎ #seasonalplacesoverseas #luxembourg #europetrip #europetourism #europetrip #luxembourg

Luxembourg is a beautiful place, and a visit to the Corniche Promenade is a must. Locals say that if the castle is the symbol of Luxembourg, then the forest is its soul. The Corniche Promenade is hailed as the most beautiful balcony in Europe, and it certainly lives up to its reputation. Located on the edge of the old town, it features remnants of the Luxembourg Fortress. What was once a defensive walkway has now become the best spot for photographing fortresses, canyons, and forests. Walking here, you can not only see stunning views of the valleys and castles but also feel the cultural atmosphere and the prosperity brought by Luxembourg's economy. Walking along the route is not only beautiful but also peaceful. This place offers the best scenery, with sunsets that are mesmerizing. If you want to appreciate the beauty of Luxembourg, this is the best choice. The views are breathtaking, and the walk is sure to be refreshing. There are many terraces where you can sit down, enjoy the scenery, and have a cup of coffee or a cocktail. The summer climate is pleasant, but it is windy during other times of the year, so dress accordingly. It is recommended to wear walking shoes, as the paths are cobblestone and can be tricky. Highly recommended.

Luxembourg's Notre-Dame Cathedral, also known as the Church of the Holy Child, was built between 1613 and 1621. It is a famous late Gothic Revival style, located in the south of Luxembourg. It is one of the symbols of Luxembourg, and the Virgin Mary is enshrined inside. This Renaissance-style building was not used as a cathedral in the past, but as a Jesus church. After the expansion project from 1935 to 1938, three pointed hats were added to become the Notre-Dame Cathedral. The structure of the north door of the church is a product of the combination of Renaissance art style and Baroque style. The interior of the church is magnificent, the altar is decorated with precious gypsum statues, and the walls and pillars are carved with Arabic images. Behind the Notre-Dame Cathedral, there are the Prime Minister's Office and other medieval buildings, which are both simple and spectacular, and are the best choice for tourists.

It is a viaduct made of stone, located northwest of Luxembourg Station. Adolphe Bridge spans the canyon, connecting the new and old districts, and the arches supporting the bridge are symmetrical, very spectacular, and one of the outstanding buildings in Europe.

[🇱🇺 and other things] As you can see from the photos, the cityscape is so beautiful even with a normal camera. And the people are kind. And the cityscape is beautiful and clean, which is rare in Europe. I didn't post it, but the hotel was also very clean, and I enjoyed Japanese quality for the first time in a while. . 😢♡ I didn't go out at night, but I thought it was relatively safe until around 10 o'clock. The supermarket I stopped by was also very polite, kind, and clean. It's a small country, but it's one of the countries I want to go back to. 🫡🇱🇺🩵 Please visit it! #trip2022 #overseastravel #amazingview #amazingview #luxembourg

To Luxembourg🇱🇺 While I was in Cologne, I tried crossing the border! When I took the express train to Luxembourg, it was very difficult due to delays, but the station staff were very kind and contacted the train so that I could transfer, which was very considerate! 😂 And in Luxembourg, public transportation is free! ! ! It's so wonderful💓 So, I took the tram and first went to the Adolf Bridge area. The cobblestone streets are unique to Europe. The cityscape is so beautiful that you'll be enchanted no matter where you walk. That's why I can't stop touring Europe🤩 The area is about the same as Kanagawa Prefecture, so it's nice to go there quickly and enjoy it🇱🇺💕 #amazingview #trip2022 #Luxembourg #RudolfBridge

I visited a restaurant called Nonbe near the border between Luxembourg and France. Because it's an expensive country, a meal here at lunchtime would cost about 5,000 yen in Japanese yen. I visited at lunchtime, but it was a wonderful restaurant that I would like to visit for dinner as well. They also had a wide selection of alcoholic drinks, which I felt was quite rare around here.

Also one of the wealthiest countries in the world, a founding member of the European Union and NATO, with multiple EU institutions located within its borders, such as the European Court of Justice, the European Court of Auditors, and the European Investment Bank, known as the EU's "third capital" after Brussels and Strasbourg. It is also a highly developed industrial country and the most important private banking center in the eurozone, as well as the world's second-largest investment trust center after the United States. Its three main pillars of the economy are finance, broadcasting and television, and steel, and the country has an extremely low unemployment rate.

Luxembourg is an exotic country, just like its name. It is a small country, but it is a country that is in the ranks of advanced countries, so it is a country with great natural scenery and public safety. #CityTrip #Luxembourg There are also many delicious foods and desserts, so be sure to visit.

The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is one of the smallest yet one of the richest countries in the world. PS. Public transport can be used free of charge in Luxembourg City and throughout the entire country. So when you’ve run out of things to do, try taking the tram from end to end…and repeat! 😅#urbanexplorer #tripblazers

This one place is a square like there are some very special little shops all around and there are also many like those little stalls where you can buy local souvenirs If you come here, you might as well take some time to go around And to the middle there is built where you can look back down into a grassy place The whole of Luxembourg is very special, like separating the upper and lower levels Newbie because of this particular geography looking down and seeing a lot of green books and grass I thought should be able to walk there however we didn't do that

Finally one of Luxembourg’s most famous attractions It was dancing on this one wall that he could see the whole of the old city It was like traveling to a medieval European city Many of the buildings still retain the face of their time We all think this one place is very special although it takes some time first, you can take a ride up here but you can see all a beautiful scenery worth coming!
