Luxemburg: 9 Tarife, von 3 bis 50 GB. Die Gültigkeit reicht von 1 Tag bis zu 180 Tagen. 9 davon laufen über 5G, wo das lokale Netzwerk dies anbietet.
6 Tarife können ohne die Installation einer zweiten eSIM aufgeladen werden. Die Tarife laufen über Tango, Orange, POST.
Aus unserem Live-Katalog gezählt, keine Marketingzahl — die Tarifliste über diesem Abschnitt basiert auf denselben Daten.
Luxemburg: kein regionales Paket deckt dieses Land ab — hier bleibt nur ein Tarif für ein einzelnes Land, der ohnehin meist der günstigere ist.
Eine Luxemburg-eSIM ist eine digitale SIM, die dein Handy einfach herunterlädt: keine Plastikkarte, kein Abholschalter am Flughafen. Du kaufst online, tippst auf den Installationslink aus unserer Mail (ein QR-Code liegt ebenfalls bei), und sie richtet sich als zweite Leitung neben deiner bestehenden SIM ein. Bis zur Landung schläft sie, danach bucht sie sich automatisch über 5G, wo verfügbar, sonst überall LTE bei Tango, Orange, POST ein – den Netzen, die am Reiseziel Luxemburg wirklich tragen. Deine gewohnte Nummer bleibt für Anrufe und SMS erreichbar, die eSIM übernimmt nur die Daten.
Karten, Nachrichten und Fahrdienst-Apps sind genügsam: rund 300 bis 500 MB am Tag. Kommen Fotos, Social Media und ab und zu ein Video dazu, bist du eher bei 1 GB täglich. Für eine Woche reichen 5 GB bequem; für zwei Wochen, geteilte Verbindungen oder viel Nutzung nimm lieber 10 GB oder mehr, oder einen aufladbaren Tarif, den du unterwegs erweiterst. Die Luxemburg-Tarife starten bei 4,80 € in 7 Größen, jeweils mit dem Preis pro GB direkt daneben, damit die richtige Wahl offensichtlich ist.
Nein. Eine Luxemburg-eSIM ist ein lokaler Datentarif, kein internationales Roaming: Du zahlst den Preis, den du vorher siehst, und bekommst keine Megabyte-Abrechnung von deinem Anbieter zu Hause. Stell die eSIM als Datenleitung ein und schalt Datenroaming auf deiner gewohnten SIM aus, dann gibt es zu Hause keine Überraschungen. Und weil du bis zur Installation jederzeit dein Geld zurückbekommst, ist ein Kauf im Voraus risikofrei.
Judd mat Gaardebounen
Smoked pork collar soaked, boiled and served in a cream sauce with broad beans and boiled potatoes. The national dish, and heavy enough to end the afternoon.
Traditional brasseries in Luxembourg City and village inns; a fixture at the Schueberfouer funfair.
Bouneschlupp
Green bean soup with potato, onion and smoked bacon or sausage. Everyday food rather than restaurant food, which is precisely why it is worth ordering.
Cafes and canteens at lunchtime.
Gromperekichelcher
Fritters of grated potato, onion and parsley, deep fried and eaten from paper with apple sauce. Winter market and fairground food.
Christmas markets, the Schueberfouer and village fêtes.
Kachkéis
A soft cooked cheese with the texture of a thick sauce, spread on bread with mustard. Sold in tubs and eaten cold or warmed.
Supermarkets and traditional cafes; the classic pairing is with a dark bread.
Bouchée à la reine
A puff pastry case filled with chicken, mushrooms and a cream sauce, served with chips. Ubiquitous on Luxembourg menus in a way it is not in neighbouring France.
Almost any brasserie; a standard weekday lunch.
Träipen
Black pudding served with apple sauce and mashed potato, eaten particularly around the turn of the year.
Traditional restaurants in winter; butchers sell it to cook at home.
Friture de la Moselle
Small river fish floured and fried whole, eaten by the handful with lemon and a glass of local white. A Moselle valley tradition rather than a national one.
Riverside restaurants at Remich, Ehnen and Wasserbillig.
Rieslingspaschtéit
A pâté of pork and veal baked in a pastry crust with Riesling and jelly, sliced cold.
Butchers and traditional restaurants, particularly along the Moselle.
Quetschentaart
An open tart of small dark plums on a thin base, made when the quetsch harvest comes in at the end of summer.
Bakeries from late August into autumn.
Moselle wine and Crémant
The Luxembourg bank of the Moselle grows Riesling, Auxerrois, Pinot Gris and the old Elbling grape, and produces Crémant de Luxembourg, a bottle-fermented sparkling wine that is taken seriously here and barely known abroad.
Cellars at Remich, Grevenmacher and Wormeldange; most offer tastings.
Old quarters and fortificationsLuxembourg City
The UNESCO-listed upper town sits on cliffs above the Alzette gorge. The Chemin de la Corniche runs along the old ramparts and gives the view the whole city is built around.
a day
Bock CasematesLuxembourg City
Kilometres of gun galleries cut into the rock beneath the promontory where the city began, part of a fortress the powers of Europe agreed to demolish in 1867. Cold and low-ceilinged.
2 hours
Grund and PfaffenthalLuxembourg City
The lower town along the river, reached by a glass panoramic lift down the cliff at Pfaffenthal and a funicular up to Kirchberg — both free, both part of the transport network, and both worth riding for the view alone.
half a day
Vianden CastleVianden
A large restored castle on a ridge above a river town in the north, with a chairlift up the opposite slope for the view back at it. Victor Hugo's house in the village below is a small museum.
a day
EchternachEchternach
The oldest town in the country, built around a Benedictine abbey founded in the seventh century, with a basilica, a crypt and a lake on the edge of the Mullerthal.
half a day
MullerthalLittle Switzerland
Sandstone blocks split into narrow mossy corridors and staircases between them, with the Schiessentümpel waterfall and the long-distance Mullerthal Trail threading through. Genuinely good walking country.
a day
Moselle valleyRemich to Grevenmacher
Terraced vineyards along the German border, with cellar visits, riverboat trips and a string of small wine villages. The river is the frontier, so half the view is Germany.
a day
ClervauxClervaux
A castle in a wooded valley housing The Family of Man, Edward Steichen's photographic exhibition, which is on the UNESCO Memory of the World register and permanently installed here.
half a day
Luxembourg American CemeteryHamm
The burial ground of more than five thousand US soldiers, most killed in the Battle of the Bulge, with General Patton's grave at the head of the field. A short bus ride from the city centre.
2 hours
Belval blast furnacesEsch-sur-Alzette
Two preserved blast furnaces standing over a new university quarter in the old steel south, one of them climbable. The Minett region around it is a UNESCO biosphere reserve built on mining spoil.
half a day
Free public transport
Buses, trams and second-class train travel within the country are free of charge to everyone, residents and visitors alike, with no ticket and no registration. First class on trains and cross-border journeys still require a ticket.
free
Train
CFL runs the network from Luxembourg City station, north to Ettelbruck, Wiltz and Clervaux, east to Wasserbillig and the Moselle, and across the borders to Trier, Metz, Nancy and Brussels. Domestic legs are free; the international ones are not.
free domestically
Tram
A single line runs from Luxexpo through Kirchberg and past the station toward Cloche d'Or, connecting the airport bus, the European institutions and the centre. Free, frequent and the easiest way across the city.
free
Lift and funicular
The Pfaffenthal panoramic lift drops from the upper town to the valley floor, and a funicular climbs from Pfaffenthal to Kirchberg. Both are part of the free network rather than tourist attractions with tickets.
free
Car hire
Useful for the Mullerthal and the Ardennes valleys, where bus frequencies drop. Parking in Luxembourg City is expensive and limited; park-and-ride sites on the edge with free transport into the centre are the sensible approach.
moderate; fuel is cheaper here than in the neighbouring countries
Fahrdienste
Uber, Webtaxi
Uber has operated here since 2024, but rides are fulfilled by the licensed taxi firm Webtaxi rather than by private drivers, so it behaves more like a taxi booking app than ride-hailing elsewhere. Taxis are expensive by regional standards, which matters less than usual given that public transport costs nothing.

Das Wichtigste
| Easter Monday | the Monday after Easter Sunday | Public holiday; shops closed and cross-border traffic heavy. |
| Labour Day | 1 May | Everything closed apart from restaurants. |
| Europe Day | 9 May | A public holiday here, which it is not in most of the EU — appropriate in a country hosting several EU institutions. |
| Ascension Day | the Thursday 39 days after Easter | Thursday holiday, commonly bridged into a four-day weekend. |
| Whit Monday and the Echternach dancing procession | Whit Monday, and the procession on the Tuesday after it | Whit Monday is a public holiday. The dancing procession at Echternach the next day is UNESCO-listed intangible heritage: thousands of participants move through the town in linked rows, and the roads in are closed. |
| National Day | 23 June, with celebrations the evening before | The Grand Duke's official birthday and the biggest date of the year. Torchlit procession and fireworks in Luxembourg City on the 22nd; a military parade and a Te Deum on the day itself. |
| Schueberfouer | from late August into early September | Not a public holiday but a three-week funfair on the Glacis in the capital, dating from 1340. Accommodation tightens and the surrounding streets are closed to traffic. |
| Christmas | 25 and 26 December | Two-day holiday; the city's Christmas markets run through most of December beforehand. |
