The only comprehensive English-language guidebook focused exclusively on Luxembourg

Discover this small but fascinating European country where public transport is now entirely free. This thoroughly updated fifth edition of Bradt's Luxembourg features reviews of the best places to stay and eat across all price categories, alongside detailed information about every museum and significant place of interest. Whether you're interested in local food, drink, language and culture, or seeking the best cycling and hiking trails (many personally explored by the author), you'll find expert guidance throughout.

Luxembourg may be diminutive, but it punches well above its weight. The country has won the Eurovision Song Contest five times and boasts five Tour de France victories. It's a foodie paradise offering a unique cuisine that blends French and German influences, and perhaps the world's densest collection of Michelin-starred restaurants. With short distances and easy travel by public transport or car, you can experience an impressive range of attractions in a relatively brief visit—from sixty medieval castles to long-distance international walking trails, military history sites including the Battle of the Ardennes and Hamm American Military Cemetery, and popular destinations like Vianden and Luxembourg City's Museum of Modern Art.

This edition includes exciting new additions: the Royal Hamilius complex designed by Sir Norman Foster, the post-renovation UNESCO-listed Pétrusse casemates, expanded tram lines and improved transport links, new cultural spaces in Esch-sur-Alzette (European City of Culture 2022), wine events in the Moselle, a new Slate Museum in Haut-Martelange, and the Mëllerdall Nature and Geopark's UNESCO global geopark status. With so much to surprise you, Bradt's Luxembourg is the perfect travel companion.
