Getting Around

Luxembourg is the world's first country to make all public transport free. Since March 2020, buses, trains, and trams cost nothing for second-class travel — no ticket, no app required. First class on trains still has a charge. This makes it unusually easy and cheap to get around, even on a tight budget.

Trains

CFL's hub-and-spoke rail network fans out from Luxembourg City to most corners of the country. You can reach Clervaux and the northern Ardennes, Echternach in the Mullerthal, and Vianden with a short change. Journey times across the country are rarely more than an hour. The Mobiliteit.lu website and app provide real-time schedules for all trains, trams, and buses.

Bus

Where trains don't go, buses fill the gaps. The national network reaches small villages and rural areas, though services thin out on evenings and weekends. Buses and trains share the same free fare policy.

Tram

Luxembourg City has a modern tram line running from the airport through Kirchberg (EU institutions) to the city centre, station, and the Cloche d'Or district. Its final section opened in March 2025.

Car

Luxembourg is small enough to drive end-to-end in under 90 minutes. Roads are good, signage is in French, German, and Luxembourgish. Parking in Luxembourg City can be tight; the Park+Ride system at the city outskirts feeds directly into public transport.

Cycling

The vel'oh! bike-sharing scheme runs 144 stations across Luxembourg City and seven other communes, with a fully electric fleet. You can take your own bike on trains for free (subject to space). The country has an expanding network of cycle paths, particularly through the Moselle valley and the Mullerthal.
