Transport can eat up a large chunk of your budget, especially when wanting to explore an entire country. Luckily, public transportation in Luxembourg is free. Yes, we said free. Buses, trains, and trams have been free of charge since 2020, so hop on!

As a member of UNESCO’s World Heritage List, Luxembourg City was twice named as the European Capital of Culture. Take a stroll through the Old Town to admire its historic fortifications. There are dozens of museums to explore, many of which allow free entry at least one day a week, and visitors can also make use of free walking trails.
Accommodation
We are not suggesting that you stay in one of Luxembourg’s picturesque castles, but you’ll be surprised at just how far your money can go when it comes to accommodation. Luxury hotels are cheaper here than in London or Paris, but a basic hotel room can be reserved for a reasonable $100 a night.

Despite its modest dimensions, the city of Luxembourg has a large number of excellent museums in a variety of areas of interest.
One of the recommended ones is the National Museum of History and Art, with an impressive collection of art works from the Gallo-Romanian period and twentieth-century art. In the historical wing, you will find coins, weapons, archeological exhibits, documents, and photographs.
Another recommended museum is the Museum of Modern Art (MUDAM), housed in an impressive structure designed by Chinese-American architect Io Ming Pai, who designed, among other things, the Pyramid of the Louvre.
The city also has unique museums—including the Bank Museum, the Science Museum, the Nature Museum, the Police Museum, the Carriage Museum, the Toy Museum, and others.

The small town of Echternach, near the German border, is an ideal place to escape from the hustle of the city. In the center of the town you can see a fantastic medieval abbey from the 7th century. A few steps further you can find a small lake with ideal surroundings for a picnic.
If you are more of a nature enthusiast, head towards Milertal (Mullertahl). This part of Luxembourg is also known as “little Switzerland.” The hiking trails through Milertal are 112 kilometers long and along the way you can see breathtaking waterfalls, sharp rock formations and dense forests.
