Tips

In Luxembourg, you pay with the Euro. Public transport is free throughout the entire country, offering a unique and sustainable way to travel. The official languages are Luxembourgish, German, and French, but English is also widely understood, especially in tourist areas. Be aware that prices for accommodation and restaurants might be slightly higher than in neighboring countries. For the best experience, consider booking popular attractions and restaurants online in advance. Hiking shoes are a must, especially if you plan to explore the Mullerthal region or one of the many natural parks. Don't forget to try local specialties like Judd mat Gaardebounen (smoked collar of pork with broad beans) and sample the local wines and crémants.
