We all know that travel has become super expensive. While it is a smart idea to visit places with a lower cost of living and currency that is weaker than your own, sometimes you want to indulge in a little luxury… Luxembourg is considered to be the wealthiest country in the world with a GDP per capita of $141,590, but there are still affordable ways to enjoy the Western European nation. 

Transportation

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!

Attractions

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.

Luxembourg is one of the world’s smallest countries with an area of 998 sq mi, but it still offers plenty of interesting things to see and do for tourists. And being small, it is quite easy to get around and experience it all. However, there are some things you should know before heading there.

Most Locals Are Multi-Lingual

You shouldn’t have trouble with communication in Luxembourg. Locals usually speak two or more languages and in most cases, one of them being English. The country’s official languages are French, German, and Luxembourgish.

Public Transport is Free

Using public transport is the easiest way to get from point A to point B in Luxembourg. This is not only because it’s reliable but also because it is completely free for everyone.

The small country of Luxembourg is rich in culture and museums. The capital of Luxembourg and the largest city in the country—the city of Luxembourg (La Ville Luxembourg)—has a rich history dating back to the tenth century. 

It is very nice to take a stroll in the narrow streets of the Old Quarter, which were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and are full of restaurants, museums, and shops. Do not miss a walk on the fortified city walls, which offer wonderful views of the area.

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.

A rich history, diverse culture, great food and even better wine – all this and more will wait for you when you visit the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

Located in western Europe, this city-state is rapidly becoming one of the must-visit tourist destinations on the continent. 

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.  

Vianden Castle is among the most beautiful Romanesque palaces in Europe, and it was once home to the powerful counts of Vianden. It was also the seat of the Nassau Luxembourg dynasty until it became state-owned and open to the public. It is located in the small town of Vianden, where you can also find a museum dedicated to Victor Hugo.
