Luxembourg is not a large country, so you really only need a few days to visit the main sites – it’s a great weekend getaway!
One day is a great amount of time to explore Luxembourg City. You can realistically explore the entire city in one day on foot – it’s quite compact, making it convenient for quick visits. If you wanted to experience more of Luxembourg, such as the countryside or its historic castles, I’d add on an extra day or two for some day trips!

Although we visited in the summer, spring is known to be the best time to visit Luxembourg. Visiting in the spring means you can avoid crowds, hot temperatures, and maybe even save a bit more money.
However, Luxembourg is beautiful all year round. The summer brings festival season, the spring brings flowers, the autumn brings colorful foliage, and the winter brings Christmas Markets. You can’t go wrong any time of the year; it all depends on how you feel about crowds and what you’d like to experience in Luxembourg!
Luxembourg is known for being one of the most expensive places to visit in Europe! It’s quite surprising for such a small country, but don’t let that deter you—it just means you’ll want to plan strategically to keep costs down.
Here are some ways we kept costs down:
🍽️ We noticed the biggest difference in prices came down to food, so as a tourist, I recommend grabbing snacks throughout the day or relying on groceries rather than eating out at restaurants.
🚊 Public transit in Luxembourg City is free, so you can cut down on costs by taking advantage of this system.
🚌 You can also save money by staying outside of Luxembourg in a neighbouring country and taking a day trip. The most popular day trips are from Brussels.
