Luxembourg can be explored by a number of ways. Check out the train and bus routes and schedules to make your journey of discovery a pleasant one. |
Trains
Trains are run by Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois. There's one main north-south route down the middle of the country to Luxembourg City. Apart from that, only a few lines branch out from the capital and the system is mainly supplemented by buses. The fares are comparable with those in Belgium and there are a number of passes available, giving unlimited train and bus travel for periods lasting from one day to one month.
Roads
Luxembourg is well connected by the networks of main roads and toll-free motorways. The congestion is normally tolerable outside the major cities. The speed limit is 50kph in the built-up areas , 90kph on the main roads and 120kph on the motorways. Seat belts are compulsory and penalties for drunken driving are stiff. Spot fines are common for some offences and it's advisable to carry cash with you for payment of fines. Most of the major roads are dotted with phones. The leading national motoring organization is the Automobile Club of Luxembourg (ACL), Route de Longwy 54, L-8007 Bertrange, which can be called upon in case of breakdown but only if your insurance grants you affiliated membership. Check this out before departure.
Car Rentals
Car rental is expensive, though it may be your best bet for short stays. Be sure to ask about insurance, taxes (TVA) and unlimited kilometres.
Bikes
You can rent bikes throughout the country. The Luxembourg Tourist Office has leaflets showing cycle routes.
Taxis
Outside of the capital, public transportation consists mainly of taxis, which hike their fees by 25% on Sundays.
