About Luxembourg

Luxembourg is a small, wealthy country of wooded hills, river valleys and a remarkable fortified capital. Luxembourg City sits on deep gorges with old walls and tunnels, the Moselle valley grows the country's wines, and the Ardennes and Mullerthal offer forest walking and slow villages. Spring to autumn is the most comfortable stretch for hiking and city visits; summer is warm and festive, while winter is quiet and cold, when the capital turns to museums, markets and food.

Did you know?

Luxembourg is the world's only sovereign grand duchy.
Its old quarters and fortifications, carved into rock above two river gorges, are UNESCO-listed.
Public transport across the whole country has been free since 2020, the first country in the world to make that change.
