A day in Luxembourg
Arrival
Arriving by airplane
Luxembourg is served by Aéroport de Luxembourg (LUX) a small airport located near the city centre and hub of the national airline company Luxair. It is well connected to all the major European and some extra-European.
If you have luggages or backpacks bear in mind that in the airport there are no lockers, but you can use the one at the train station.
From the airport you can take 29 to go to Gare Central (Central Station).
Otherwise, you can go directly to the city centre by taking bus 16.
Remember! Luxembourg public transportations are free for everyone, so you do not need to buy any ticket or carnet.
Arriving by train
If you are interrailing through Europe, or just simply decided to reach Luxembourg by train, the main station of the city is Gare Central.
Luggage Storage
If you want to enjoy your visit baggage free you can leave your luggage or backpack here at the station for a cost of 8€ per day.
Let's start the tour
Breakfast
If you had not have breakfast yet, since my itinerary start from the main station, I suggest Le Quai Steffen Gare de Luxembourg to grab something to eat.
Morning Stroll
From the station, head north and walk to La Passerelle bridge.
After crossing the bridge, on the right there is Monument National de la Solidarité Luxembourgeoise, a monument honouring the soldiers of World War II.
Going uphill, coasting the back of the Plais de Justice, on the right you can enter the Cité Judiciare de Luxembourg.
By walking inside you the square you can admire the building and have a nice view over the Alzette basin and admire the sculpture Fontaine aux Colombes.
Returning to the main street, continue until reaching Kadish monument. You will also see the back of Cathédrale Notre-Dame.
Continuing you will arrive to Place de la Constitution.
After taking some cool photos, let's reach the main square: Place Guillaume II
Facing the square there is the city hall and the tourist office.
Right next to the main square, there is the Palais Grand-Ducal.
Going down Rue de l'Eau, you will pass Église Saint-Michel.
Then you will reach Casemates du Bock, a vast complex of underground tunnels & galleries, used as WWII bomb shelters.
After your Bock Casemates' tour, walk on Chemain de la Corniche for a walk with a nice view.
After the walk reach Statue of the Grand Duchess Charlotte.
And on the right you can find Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Luxembourg.
Lunch
For lunch, I suggest going to Place d'Armes, a small square surrounded by very nice restaurants and fast food: there is a McDonald's, a Burger King and even Pizza Hut.
I personally have lunched at Grand Café, a very ancient brasserie.
Afternoon relax or shopping
After lunch, you can go relax at the near Parc municipal de Luxembourg.
Or you can go shopping in the streets near Place d'Armes. There are a lot of famous brand shops or go to Galeries Lafayette.
If Galeries Lafayette is not enough, you can take the tram and go to a bigger shopping centre: Shopping Center Cloche d'Or.
End of the day
Either you have decided to remain in the city centre or decided to go to Cloche d'Or Shopping Center, you can take the tram to go back to the train station.
If you have to go back to the airport, from the main station you can take the bus 29.
