Thanks to its central location in Europe, Luxembourg is very easy to reach by air, with its national airline Luxair offering direct flights from major European cities.
Once you have landed at Luxembourg Airport (LUX), the city centre is only 6km away. All public transport is free, with the exception of first-class, making it convenient and affordable to get from the airport by scheduled tram or bus routes. Luxembourg City is only a 20-minute ride from LUX.
It is the world’s first country to offer free nationwide public transport and the scheme applies to residents, cross-border commuters, and tourists alike, so make the most of it!
Alternatively, you will find plenty of taxis at the front of the terminal ready to escort you to your destination. Operators can charge their own tariffs, however, as there are no legally regulated fares, so booking online or over the phone is advised to find out the cost in advance – this can sometimes depend on other factors such as the size of the vehicle, for example.
If travelling to Luxembourg by train from neighbouring Germany, France, or Belgium, there are also attractive rail links available from across the border.
Car rentals are another option for getting around Luxembourg with plenty of providers available, whilst there are also several bike rental points throughout the country. Whether you’re planning a leisurely ride through the picturesque countryside or an adventurous exploration of the vibrant city streets, cycling is the perfect way to discover the different facets of Luxembourg.
For exploring on foot, the capital is compact and very walkable, spanning just under 52 sqkm.
