Things to do in Luxembourg City

Luxembourg City punches above its weight with a stunning UNESCO-listed old town, dramatic gorges, and medieval fortifications, and despite its wealthy reputation, savvy travelers can exploit free national transit, affordable lunch menus, and low-cost day trips to stretch their budget surprisingly far.

Why go to Luxembourg City

  • Bock Casemates

    Miles of underground rock-hewn tunnels beneath the old city offer a jaw-dropping window into Europe's most formidable fortress history.

  • Chemin de la Corniche

    Called 'Europe's most beautiful balcony,' this clifftop promenade delivers panoramic views of the Alzette valley for absolutely nothing.

  • MUDAM (Grand Duke Jean Museum of Modern Art)

    An I.M. Pei-designed masterpiece housing world-class contemporary art in a setting that rivals the collection itself.

  • Vianden Castle

    A fairy-tale medieval fortress an easy day trip away, looming over a perfect Rhine-valley village straight out of a storybook.

  • Grund District

    Wander into the valley below the old city to find cobblestone lanes, hidden abbey gardens, and riverside cafés locals actually use.
