Frequently asked questions, q: what is the best time to book the luxembourg hop-on hop-off tour.

May to September is the best time to plan a visit to Luxembourg and enjoy various festivities as well as outdoor events. You can enjoy ample hours of sunshine during these summer months in Luxembourg which make it an ideal time for sightseeing. Spring and fall months represent shoulder seasons. If you want a quieter time sans crowd, then winter months are your best bet.

Q: How many days are enough to explore Luxembourg?

Depending on individual preference and the activities you want, you can spend a few days to an entire week in Luxembourg. However, we recommend spending around 4 days uncovering its hidden gems and famous historical sites.

Q: What is a Luxembourg hop-on hop-off bus tour and how does it work?

Luxembourg bus tour offers you the convenience and flexibility to get off at the nearest designated stop. No tour guide, you set your own itinerary. You’ll find all the stops are located strategically at all the major attractions, making your touring as hassle-free as possible. And then, when you’re ready to continue, return to a designated bus stop, show your pass, and hop back on the bus and onwards towards your next attraction. So, go ahead and make a  whole loop of the route once you have your tour ticket, get familiar with the city and pick out your favorite places to visit and then return to them during your stay.

Q: Where can I find a list of all the stops and a map of the various hop-on hop-off Luxembourg tour routes?

One Day in Luxembourg Itinerary: A Day Trip from Brussels

As such a small country, you might be surprised that there are enough activities to fill a Luxembourg itinerary, but you couldn’t be more wrong! It is the 28th smallest country in the world, but with a beautiful capital city, one day in Luxembourg is the perfect amount of time for a city break or as a short day trip from Brussels or other nearby cities.

Table of Contents

How Many Days in Luxembourg?

Luxembourg City is relatively small, although it’s built around the Alzette River, providing the city with steep hills and plenty of lush green areas to explore – not to mention the stunning vistas.

If you’re wondering how many days to spend in Luxembourg, a day trip from Brussels would be perfect to get a feel for the city and enjoy the stunning architecture and landscape.

You can visit some of Luxembourg’s free museums, wander through the parks and take the free lift to have incredible views over the city in one day in Luxembourg while also keeping the costs down.

However, if you’d like to get out into nature and hike through the lovely forests of northern Luxembourg, you can extend your Luxembourg itinerary to two or three days to make the most of your trip to the tiny nation.

Getting To & Around Luxembourg

If you’re planning a Luxembourg day trip from Brussels, you can easily arrive in the centre of the capital by train in just under three hours from Bruxelles-Luxembourg train station with Belgian railways, with one stop in Arlon. You can view train schedules here.

Enjoy the countryside and listen to some Stromae or Francis of Delirium for a taste of Belgian or Luxembourgish music on your journey.

Buses take a similar amount of time to arrive in Luxembourg, with journeys taking at least 2 hours 30 minutes, but not taking you into the centre of Luxembourg. You can, however, easily take a free bus into the city to start your one day in Luxembourg City. You can view bus schedules here.

For those that prefer to visit with a guide, there are a number of organised Luxembourg day trips from Brussels such as this full-day tour or this full-day tour.

The quickest way to reach Luxembourg from Brussels , however, is by car. There are many car rental options in the centre of Brussels right in front of the Brussel-Zuid/Midi train station. From there it’s just two hours on the E411 and E25 to Luxembourg City; it is also a Schengen area member so you won’t experience much of a border. You can view car rental options here.

When you arrive in Luxembourg, you can find many car parks around the city, such as Parking Glacis, which also has spaces for electric cars and bicycles, and is open 24 hours a day.

It’s one of the cheaper car parks in the city too. Just be wary that there is a market there on Sundays so there will be limited parking then.

One of the most exciting things about Luxembourg when you’re there, especially if you didn’t bring your car, is that the public transport is free!

Buses regularly pass through the coach station where you’ll arrive and take you for free into the city centre, in comfortable seats with wifi and charging points. This makes it easy to take in all of the attractions in Luxembourg.

The buses and trams are easy to use and have regular schedules, although you won’t need them much, and bus drivers are friendly and helpful in English, French, German and Luxembourgish!

Luxembourgers actually only make up 30% of the residents of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, so you can rest assured you’ll encounter many polyglots and don’t have to struggle through learning Luxembourgish, although a “Gudde Moien” wouldn’t go amiss.

1 Day in Luxembourg Itinerary

Arriving by car, bus or train on your Luxembourg day trip from Brussels, you can easily reach the city centre walking or with free public transport to start exploring the sparkling city streets, perfect panoramic views and fantastic fortifications – which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

You can also take a walking tour if you prefer to explore with a guide.

Chemin de la Corniche

If you’ve arrived in Luxembourg by train or bus, you can start your Luxembourg itinerary walking over the beautiful 19th-century viaduct La Passerelle. This huge structure seems over the top when you see how small the river is, however, it gives you incredible opening views of the city of Luxembourg on either side of the valley.

Within the valley, looking particularly spectacular when it’s lit up at night, is a large skate park; if you have time, you should definitely bring your board here and try out the amazing maze of bowls under the backdrop of the old ramparts and magnificent viaduct.

Crossing La Passerelle and turning right at the city’s courthouse, Cabinet d’instruction de Luxembourg, you’ll arrive at your first stop: the Chemin de la Corniche.

This pretty pathway leads you along the Alzette valley on top of the 17th-century ramparts, built by the Spanish and French, and gives you a wonderful panorama over Luxembourg City with its lush green trees, shiny grey tiled-roofs, and the spires and turrets that makes Luxembourg’s architecture so iconic.

Across the valley, you can see the intriguing Église Saint-Jean-du-Grund and Neumünster Abbey cultural centre that now occupies the church buildings for concerts and other performances.

Follow the route taking in the glorious views until you reach the second stop of your day in Luxembourg.

Rocher du Bock

At the end of the Chemin de la Corniche, you come across an enormous rock leading down to the bottom of the valley with the remnants of an old castle; the Rocher du Bock.

The construction of this castle actually marks the founding of Luxembourg, as Siegfried I of the Ardennes built his castle, ​​Lucilinburhuc (which evolved into Luxembourg ), on the rocky cliff in 963.

Although Luxembourg only became an independent state in 1890 after the death of the heirless Dutch King and Grand Duke of Luxembourg, William III. The castle is an important place to visit if you’re interested in learning about the history of Luxembourg.

With the Alzette River on three sides of the castle, and the additional engineering work of the Italians, Spanish, French, Belgians, Austrians, Prussians and Dutch, it proved effective in warding away intruders, which led to Luxembourg gaining the nickname the “ Gibraltar of the North” owing to both places’ excellent fortifications.

Below the fortress that remains on top of the rock, there are tunnels and a crypt, known as the Casemates de Bock, that were dug out by Austrians in the 18th century.

The tunnels are temporarily closed, however, usually in summer months you can spend 45 minutes wandering around the tunnels marvelling at history within and the landscape outside the holes from 10 am to 5 pm every day of the week.

You can still enjoy the wonderful views from around and on top of the Rocher du Bock, which still has parts relatively intact despite the decree for Luxembourg’s fortifications to be destroyed in the 1860s.

Head down to the riverside from one of the pathways from the Rocher du Bock to see the statue of Melusina – the legendary wife of Sigfried, who founded the city.

The story goes that upon their marriage, Melusina told her husband to give her complete privacy for one whole day a week, however, after months of curiosity, Siegfried peeped on her while she was bathing, only to find that she had a fish’s tail. Noticing his attention, she then fled into the Alzette River, with some people alleging to have seen her in the hundreds of years since.

You might not get to see the real mermaid, but there’s a curious 3D-printed statue next to the river that’s worth a look.

Fort Thüngen

25 to 30 minutes away from the Rocher du Bock, either by walking, tram or bus, you’ll arrive at the amazing Thüngen Fort.

With all forts in the city destroyed after the 1867 Treaty of London, only three round towers and the foundation walls remained of the fortress until it was partially rebuilt according to its old aesthetic in the 1990s to accommodate Luxembourg’s Museum of Modern Art in one area.

Most of the fort today houses the Musée Dräi Eechelen, which means the Three Acorns Museum, as each of the remaining towers has an acorn on its roof.

The museum has a permanent exhibition showcasing the fortress throughout the centuries, from its original construction in 1732 by the Baron of Thüngen, with more than 600 artefacts and documents including historic photographs of the fortress before and after it was razed.

Outside, you can also see the remains of the defensive moat that protected the fortress walls and was only penetrable via a 169-metre tunnel from the nearby Fort Obergrünewald, which you can see on your way to stop four on your Luxembourg itinerary. 

Pfaffenthal Elevator

Over the river from Fort Obergrünewald, is one of Luxembourg’s top tourist attractions: the Panoramic Elevator of the Pfaffenthal. Depending on which way you’re coming from, you can take the lift up or down the 71-metre structure to take in the stunning views over the valley, and below, thanks to the glass floor and walls of the lift.

It doesn’t take long to ride, but it’s free, so you can save yourself another steep climb up the slopes and stairs leading from the valley floor to the city streets – and you can take bikes in it if you’re seeing the city on two wheels.

From the top of the lift, you can spend the rest of your afternoon in Luxembourg City wandering the main city streets of the Ville Haute district.

Ville Haute

Away from the beautiful valley and historic monuments lies the wonderful centre of Luxembourg, with beautiful architecture and design from the buildings themselves to the bins and lampposts.

Whether it shows the wealth of the country or the culture of the locals, you’ll notice the streets are almost perfectly clean which adds to the magical feel of certain corners and buildings, like the Palais Grand-Ducal. This stately palace does open for guided tours in the Summer, but for the rest of the year, you can simply take in the intricately carved stone façade with gold-decorated balconies.

Head a couple of hundred metres East to the fish market; a former central square between two Roman roads where farmers and fishermen would come to sell their produce, this square is now a delightful area with the National Museum and bars and restaurants.

A short walk back to the centre is Place Guillaume II, known locally as Knuedler due to the knots on the belts of the Franciscan monks who lived in the area. It was destroyed and rebuilt by the French, part of which makes the city unique as it shows influences from many different cultures and historic periods. Now in the square, you can find the town hall as well as a large market every Wednesday and Saturday.

Place d’Armes is another beautiful square nearby, and around both squares, you’ll be able to find something wonderful to eat. Although most of the activities on the Luxembourg itinerary were free, when you pay for food and drink or accommodation in the country, you do notice that Luxembourg is quite expensive.

There are options, however, if you want to spend what you’ve saved on, for example, a delicious three-course set menu for €30-40 in Le Rabelais , or save a little more but still eat well in Chiggeri , with a large menu and main dishes costing €20-30.

If you’re not as worried about trying the local cuisine or you’re interested in finding craft beer in Luxembourg, try Urban for a cheaper and more international menu, and a huge collection of draft craft beers and cocktails.

Walk back to the train station via Pont Adolphe for a different perspective of the city and more stunning panoramas before taking your train back to Brussels, or just to take in a last glimpse of the city before you reach the end of one day in Luxembourg.

Have 2 or 3 Days in Luxembourg?

One day in Luxembourg is perfect to see most of the city and enjoy the urban wildness of the capital’s parks. But if you want to learn more about the millennia-long history of the small but strategically placed nation, you’ll need to spend at least 2 to 3 days.

Over 2 days in Luxembourg, you can take your time seeing the city’s sights and explore more of the galleries and museums, many of which do permit free entrance to the permanent exhibitions.

But to truly enjoy the landscape of the small country, you’ve got to rent a car and spend 3 days in Luxembourg, driving to Mullerthal for some wonderful hikes and walks around the waterfalls hidden in the woods, or Echternach for the Gorges du Loup hike around the caverns.

Public transportation in Luxembourg

One of the most important characteristics of any great country is the mobility of its citizens. The development of the road infrastructure, the accessibility of public and private transport, and the overall quality of the transport system are all aspects that Luxembourg exceeds in. The public transport network is operated by the Administration des transports publics (ATP).

One of the most important characteristics of any great country is the mobility of its citizens. The development of the road infrastructure, the accessibility of public and private transport, and the overall quality of the transport system are all aspects that Luxembourg exceeds in. The public transport network is operated by the Administration des transports publics (ATP) .

Public transport is not only reliable, but also completely free, so it makes it a popular choice to travel around the country

Severe traffic load in the country and high living standard are just some of the motives behind this absolutely unique decision from Luxembourgish legal authorities. Though a journey by public transport rarely amounts to a significant expense, it is these little changes that, in the end, make up a big difference and improve the overall quality of individuals’ life. Therefore, the convenience factor behind public transport is indisputable.

Planet-friendly

Though this may not have been one of the goals for making this decision, one cannot deny the electric fuelled nature of Luxembourg public transport is also environmentally friendly. Meaning, the motivation for choosing public transport goes beyond convenience or comfort: it represents a responsible and reliable action anyone can take.

Comfortable

Luxembourg is rather small — it provides just 30,189 kilometres of roads and highways for commuting. However, it is important to keep in mind all those regularly travelling to the Grand Duchy from the neighbouring countries: the ever-increasing number of cross-border workers has reached 200,000 people, equaling one third of the country's overall population. Therefore, all this transport results in massive traffic jams and frustration. Thus, taking public transport can oftentimes be equally, or even more, comfortable than the private kind.

Naturally, keeping in  mind all aforementioned assets and benefits, the government has already launched a social campaign to encourage people to take public transport more often. Some of the residential municipalities and cities across the country have , in which the drivers can leave their vehicles and use the tram, bus, or train to move around the city.

Luxembourg Airports

If you look up from the city center at any point of the day, your chances to spot a plane in the sky are fairly high. Most likely, you will get to the Grand Duchy for the first time by plane. Air travel in the country is operated by the Directorate of Civil Aviation (DAC) .

The main international airport in Luxembourg is Findel . It is also the only airport you will find in the country. It has 2 terminals and is considered rather small, though it suffices the size of Luxembourg.

It is located five kilometers away from the capital and is mostly used for flights to the major cities of Europe.

Two biggest state airline offices are based at Findel Airport: Luxair, the country's largest civilian carrier, and Cargolux, dealing exclusively with cargo transportation. Other operating airlines include both traditional airlines and low-coster airlines that fly all over the world: Aegean, ITA Airways, British Airways, Easy Jet, Hahn Air, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Ryanair, Swiss, Turkish Airlines, TAP Air Portugal, VOLOTEA and W!zz Air.

Closeness of the airport to the city makes it very available to everyone. Read more on this topic in the article " Getting to the Findel Airport ".

Luxembourg Trains

One of the ways to move around the country is by train. Railroad travel is operated by CFL, the Luxembourg National Railway Company (Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois).Trains make it easy to get around the country, as well as serve in case you need a cross-border trip to Belgium, France or Germany. The short-length train trips are a popular way to spend weekends: by visiting museums, tourist attractions, or shopping outlets in and out of the country.

Trains make it easy to get around the country, as well as represent a great opportunity when in need of cross-border travel to Belgium, France or Germany. Local, short-length trips to neighbouring countries enable a simple visit to  nearby museums, tourist attractions or shopping outlets.

If case you need help or assistance, on-duty service staff on stations (Luxembourg, Ettelbruck, Wasserbillig, Esch/Alzette, Belval-Université, Pétange and Rodange) can help you on your trip. When using other train stations, you will need to get in touch with CFL assistance services before your trip:

For local traveling — at least 1 hour before the departure;

For international traveling — at least 48 hours before the trip.

Contact by email via

If you choose to drive to the train station by car, a parking lot is available at every stop. Free parking lots next to the train stations are called Park and Ride zones, they are available in Luxembourg City and in communes.

Though railroad travel is free of charge on the territory of Grand Duchy, some rides are still covered with a fee, for example:

First-class seats for passengers over 12 years old;

Cross-border trains to Belgium, France, and Germany.

Though Luxembourg is multicultural, all announcements made while traveling by train are exclusively in French, one of the official languages of the country.

Though Luxembourg is populated by multicultural characters speaking  various different languages, all announcements made while travelling by a train are exclusively in French.

As if the railway system in Luxembourg isn’t great enough, it seems the government is constantly working on its improvement and development. Read more on this using these links:

A new train route may appear in Luxembourg by 2035 ;

Schieburg Tunnel will reopen in Luxembourg.

Short-distance trains

For convenience, passengers of railroad transport are usually advised to download the CFL Mobile app. It gives real-time information on bus and train schedules, possible routes, perturbations, and fares conditions. You can also buy tickets there.

Fixed timetables for certain national routes can also be found on CFL’s official website. Additionally, you can prepare for your journey by searching for specific departure and/or arrival destinations, as well as the timing, number of changes or minimum/maximum distance of your liking for the trip.

Long-distance trains

Choosing a train as international means of transport in Luxembourg can be both affordable and practical.

Long-distance trips should be planned in advance: the availability and price of the tickets depend on the time left before the journey for some trips and destinations.

Furthermore, to save money when traveling in Europe, you can opt for second-class rather than first-class, as the prices for first-class tickets tend to be generally higher.

Train service allows residents and non-residents in the Grand Duchy to travel to bordering countries for the lowest rates possible — each day the trains depart from Luxembourg City Gare (located at Place de la Gare L-1616 Luxembourg) to France, Germany, and Belgium. You can see the international train timetable and buy tickets on the TGV website .

The luxury of free public transport of Luxembourg ends at the country's borders. This means that cross-border passes and tickets are necessary for international journeys. There are inspectors groups on international trains. All violators receive hefty fines, which can reach several thousand euros.

Buying a train ticket in Luxembourg

It is necessary to have your ticket with you when traveling across the border from Luxembourg. You can buy tickets using mobile apps, or the ticket service — all the stations have both classic ticket offices and ticket booths.

Some tickets may be more expensive when purchased from a ticket booth at the station.

Various mobile apps are available in Luxembourg and in destination countries. For example, in France, there is a domestic mobile app called SNCF Connect . In Luxembourg, you can use the CFL mobile app for your trips in Luxembourg and inthe Greater Region. Use the CFL International app for your trips to Belgium, France, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, and other destinations

When buying the ticket via the application, download it and make sure to keep it at hand for controllers on the train: they will scan the QR code on your phone. Some trains are equipped with charging plugs for your smartphone, but you can also print the purchased ticket at the train station — just use the SNCF or CFL booths.

At the stations

The ticket booths are located at every station. They operate in Luxembourgish, French, German, and English languages, which can be convenient for expats. Keep in mind that once you purchased the tickets, they are valid only for certain trips and trains, non-refundable and non-exchangeable.

In Luxembourg, payments can be made using credit and debit cards (Vpay, Visa, Mastercard, Maestro) as well as with cash and coins. Larger denominations of banknotes, such as 5, 10, 20 or 50 euros, can be used in the terminals at these stations:

Luxembourg (all machines);

Bettembourg (close to the main building);

Differdange (shelter track 1);

Esch-sur-Alzette (underground passage);

Ettelbruck (close to the main building);

Mersch (close to the main building);

Pétange (shelter track 2/3);

Rodange (between the pedestrian bridge and the bus station);

Wasserbillig (close to the main building).

In Luxembourg, payments can be made using Credit/Debit/Charge cards (Vpay, Visa, Mastercard, Maestro) as well as coins.

If you use cash, keep in mind, that the train ticket machines are not suitable for money exchange. Banknotes of 5, 10, 20 or 50 euros, can be used in the terminals at various stations in the Grand Duchy. While 100 euros banknotes will only be accepted if the trip cost is 40 euros or more.

Luxembourg Buses

The buses are practically the national means of transportation in Luxembourg. They are considered the best way to travel not only between the cities but also between the communes and the city center. There are various routes, that work on different schedules.

There are currently 31 bus lines In Luxembourg City and their routes are well-developed.

Almost like regional trains , buses provide residents and commuters with cross-border routes.

Learn more about Luxembourg Buses, timetables, features of new and day routes in our article on this topic.

Trams in Luxembourg

Another way to travel around the city with comfort and for free is by city trams.

The tram line has been running since late 2020, provided by Luxtram (curated by The Ministry of Sustainable Development and Infrastructure)

It is easy to notice the tram stops in the city: they are well equipped with glass constructions and benches and have digital information panels, which say how many minutes you will have to wait until the next tramway comes. All the announcements are made in Luxembourgish, but the tram stop names are also announced in French.

Fun fact — each tram line stop has its own distinctive jingle and announcement sound.

Special attention during the development process has been put on overlapping the bus stops with tram lines, making it easier to switch public transport in Luxembourg. The main public transportation hub is considered to be the Hamilius bus and tram stop in the center of the city.

The tram line connects KIRCHBERG Luxexpo and BONNEVOIE Lycée Bouneweg stops, located in separate parts of the city. In total, there are 17 stops of the Luxembourg tram line:

Alphonse Weicker;

Nationalbibliothéik / Bibliothèque nationale;

Universitéit;

Europaparlement / Parlement européen;

Philharmonie;

Rout Bréck / Pafendall;

Faïencerie;

Stäreplaz / Place d'Étoile;

Place de Metz;

Place de Paris;

Gare Routiere / Luxembourg Central Station;

Leschte Steiwer / Dernier Sol;

Lycée Bouneweg.

Since the tram travels on one pathway in just two directions, you don’t need to worry about when you will try to get on it and how to connect.

Trams run every 2-5 minutes throughout the week and slightly less often on the weekends and late at night: the waiting time is likely to be around 5 minutes, and no more than 15 minutes. The first tram departs at 4:22 a.m. and the line operates until the latest at 12:40 a.m. on some days of the week.

The full timetable can be found on the

Recently the state and Luxtram officials announced that they are planning to extend the existing line in Kirchberg and to the Hollerich district by adding 2 more stations towards Hollereich and 3 new stations towards Kirchberg .

If you have doubts about any information on traffic and disruptions considering tram lines, you can contact Luxtram support by email via

Luxembourg Bikes

If you want to opt for an option to conveniently and environmentally friendly travel through Luxembourg but also simultaneously getting your daily exercise in, the town also offers bike rentals! Still, the exercising factor of the bikes is minimal as they are electrically driven, so maybe you should just be craving a breath of fresh air.

Vel’oh bikes are available 24/7 and its stations for picking up or dropping off the bike are scattered all over the city centre and surrounding areas, counting over 100 stations in total.

You can start your bike-riding journey by downloading a Vel’OH app and creating an account that will best fit your needs. The service offers long-term and short-term subscriptions that are fairly affordable.

Once you have done this, you will be able to get a detailed and clear map of where you can find the nearest stations, how many bikes are available at the time and what their battery percentage is. You can also find a

Taxi in Luxembourg

If you prefer your public transport to take you straight from point A to point B, taxis in Luxembourg are available and can be ordered through several different companies.

Unfortunately, it is rather expensive — taxi services in Luxembourg are one of the most expensive in Europe.

There are about 150 taxi companies in the country, and the forthcoming reforms are unlikely to make things any cheaper for ordinary people.

But if you need to catch a leaving train or get somewhere quickly, there is no better way than using a taxi. You can do it by simply raising your hand on the street, by calling a taxi service by phone or by booking it online using a profile.

But if you need to catch a leaving train or get somewhere quickly, there is no better way than using a taxi. You can do it by simply raising your hand on the street, by calling a taxi service by phone, or by booking it online in the app.

In the year 2023, an updated version of the application WebTaxi mobile app was launched. Below, we will provide a detailed description of its features and improvements.

Uber in Luxembourg

There have been several attempts to reach an agreement with the US driver aggregator company, but for now, there is no Uber service in Luxembourg. However, it is still available in neighboring countries and sometimes you can come to the Grand Duchy with Uber.

The reason why there is no Uber in Luxembourg is simple — though the management of the company is very effective, it still involves drivers with personal cars. Issues on taxation, social security, driver payments, and overall higher standards of service keep the company on the border of the country. Uber simply will not profit in Luxembourg after compliance with local labor laws.

Carsharing is becoming increasingly popular in Luxembourg, with several companies offering this service. The reason for that is that it is usually cheaper and more eco-friendly: it also helps a lot to ease the traffic in the Grand Duchy.

The cars are typically parked at designated locations throughout the city and can be booked online or via a mobile app.

Some of the most popular carsharing companies in Luxembourg include Carloh and Flex .

Carloh and Flex are two carsharing services in Luxembourg, backed by the CFL. They offer a diverse range of vehicles, including small, medium, and commercial options. With over 60 pick-up locations spread across Luxembourg, including major city centers and public transport hubs, accessing their fleet is convenient and hassle-free.

There are a few carpooling services in Luxembourg as well. This is Klaxit , Blablacar, etc.

Learn more about carsharing in Luxembourg and car rental conditions in our article.

Water Transport

Luxembourg has cargo and civilian fleets. There are 60 merchant ships in the country. At the same time, ships from other countries are used in the country as well.

The main water artery in the country is the Moselle river, located on the border between the Grand Duchy and Germany. It provides easy access to the sea and cooperation with other countries, as well as passenger boat journeys for people, who like to travel by water.

Traveling by boat is rather considered to be a leisure activity than real transportation means. There are few companies operating on the Moselle river.

For example, «Princesse Marie-Astrid» boat offers different cruises to observe the river and enjoy the ride. The price for the tickets is 20 euros for adults, 10 euros for kids under 12 years, and free of charge for those under 6 years old.

Tourist water travel is more developed on the Sûre and Moselle rivers in Luxembourg.

There are no such water resources or a fleet of vessels like in Norway, for example. But it can be a good occasional entertainment for residents and guests. Traveling around the country by land is still much easier.

Besides buses, trams, and other public transport — Luxembourg has a spectacular cable car or funicular . Established in 2017 it provides fast access to other transport and cycle roads. Waiting time for this rather unusual and entertaining ascend is about 3 minutes, same with the tram. And likewise, it is completely free of charge. It connects the Pfaffenthal district and the Kirchberg Plateau.

The cable car in Luxembourg offers great views: it is surrounded by a forest and during the trip you can observe the city from the top. You will see the bridge of the Grand Duchess Charlotte (also known as Pont Rouge) and the downtown district of Luxembourg City.

The ride only takes about a minute, but it rises (or descends) the passengers for 40 meters. The funicular is located on Avenue John F. Kennedy 1115 , Luxembourg.

Public transport apps in Luxembourg

There is no easier way to navigate the public transport system in Luxembourg, than using dedicated mobile apps. Besides Google Maps, you can download some Luxembourg-approved and based mobile applications.

Most of the time they are created by government companies and departments. The variety can be used to navigate the city, check bus timetables and perturbations of railroad work of the public transport, buy tickets and plan trips. The majority of them are available in English and can be downloaded from official resources of your phone system — Google Play and App Store.

Besides that, you can always get access to a few useful transport-related websites in Luxembourg via your browser:Journey plannerRoutes mapAll transport in Luxembourg
