Tips

If you wish to extend your stay, consider adding an extra day in the Moselle Valley for a full river cruise or a visit to the charming town of Echternach. You could also explore more of the Ardennes by staying overnight in Luxembourg’s neighboring Belgian and German towns. To shorten the trip, focus on Luxembourg City’s main attractions—skip the day trips to Vianden, Trier, and Bastogne—and replace them with a leisurely day exploring the city’s parks, cafés, and shopping districts.
