Getting Around

Due to the small size of the country and the fantastic public transportation system, getting

around in Luxembourg is very convenient. It is not a necessity to have a car within the city,

unless you plan to regularly travel to the far North or South of Luxembourg or bordering

countries.

Luxembourg Findel Airport (LUX) is the country’s only international airport, as well as the

only airport in the country with a paved runway.

There are 25 bus lines that pass through the city center and 28 buses that cover surrounding

communes. the public transportation system is reliable and efficient. Busses usually run from

6:00 to 24:00. To locate a bus stop or line, visit Mobiliteits Zentral to search for specific bus

routes to and from your location. You can also go to Ville De Luxembourg to check all line

hours and routes within the City Center. Buses in Luxembourg City run every 10-20 minutes.

website provides information on ticket pricing and an interactive map of train stations. There
