Luxembourg Flights & Travel Guide

What Luxembourg lacks in size it makes up in style. Luxembourg embraces a cosmopolitan attitude while drenched in history and ancient artifacts. Travelers booking flights to Luxembourg will come to love a country that embraces its independence and good fortune as much as its multicultural people.

Blessed with lush landscape and historical sites, Luxembourg is a pleasant and pretty country easy to get around and explore. The central and southern part of the country consists mainly of forests and farmland, while the northeast region is known for its sandstone rock formations. The northern part of the country hosts endless hills and valleys and to the south is the Moselle Valley, famous for its wines. In 1994, the country’s capital, Luxembourg-Ville was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In stark contrast to the nature and wildlife, travelers booking flights to Luxembourg will find themselves immersed in big office buildings and modern architecture.

Luxembourg Insider Information

• High on the Bock promontory in the 10th century, Count Siegfried established the Lucilinburhuc. Over the following centuries the fortress was extended, expanded, and – in the 19th century – dismantled, but the excavations (listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage site) are well worth a visit.
• Explore Luxembourg on foot. The Wenzel Circular Walk takes in the Upper and Lower towns, while the Vauban Circular Walk encompasses the ancient fortifications – Bock promontory, Old Town, Pfaffenthal and Clausen, Fort Niedergrunewald, Fort Thungen and Fort Obergrunewald.
• Noteworthy museums include the Luxembourg City History Museum, the National Museum of History and Art and the National Museum for Natural History.
• The U.S. Military Cemetery is just east of Luxembourg City. More than 5,000 American servicemen are buried there; 10,000 Americans fought in Luxembourg during the Second World War. This is also the resting place of General George Patton, said to be one of the greatest military figures in history.
• Getting out to the countryside: Ardennes in north-west Luxembourg is a beautiful area of forests and valleys and offers recreation for walkers, cyclists and, in the winter, cross-country skiers. It was also a battleground (the Battle of the Bulge) during the Second World War. The National Museum of Military History at Diekirch examines the area’s bloody past. Beautifully restored Vianden Castle is also in this area.
• Mullerthal, in the north east of the country, is known as Little Switzerland for its stone cliffs, verdant valleys and forests. It also boasts Beaufort Castle, an impressive ruin dating from the 12th century. Echternach is the country’s oldest town, established in the 7th century. It has an annual dancing procession on Whit Tuesday, which draws thousands of visitors.
• The Moselle valley in central Luxembourg is the country’s wine-growing region. Grape and wine festivals are held in the spring and fall.
