Luxembourg in 2025
1. LUGA (7 May - 18 October)
Opening of the LUGA – Luxembourg Urban Garden. An open-air exhibition of urban gardens. Landscape creations, artistic designs and agricultural installations are transforming urban green spaces in order to change the image we have of cities as part of an unusual, eventful garden show.
2. Schengen 40th anniversary
In June 1985, Schengen Agreement signed. And Schengen was chosen at the time due to its location in the border triangle France, Germany & Luxembourg).
3. GRIDX - a multi experience center (opening July)
A new hotel and Motorworld (car experience centre; offshoot of the well-known concept from Cologne) in the heart of the project: automobile museum in cooperation with MAUTO (Museo dell' Automobile of Turin). Also a Digital Art Museum.
Urban life in a green City
More than a quarter of its surface area occupied by public green spaces and parks are the city’s ‘green lungs’. With community gardens popping up in the city, urban biodiversity is the sign of a healthy environment and enhances quality of life. Wander along the Chemin de la Corniche, down the cobbled streets towards the Grund old town, through urban orchards and meeting Melusina the mermaid by the Alzette river along the way. An eco-friendly city wouldn't be complete without bees! Walk the 2.5km bee walking trail complete with 13 informative stops and insect observation houses. Around the Grand Ducal Palace, soak up the cosmopolitan atmosphere at the many restaurants, bars, museums, independent shops and art galleries. Light up your senses in this city of many layers and charms! https://www.visitluxembourg.com/nl/bestemmingen/luxemburg-stad

A taste of Luxembourg
From cosy cafés to starred restaurants - Luxembourg's food scene is like the country itself: a mosaic of cultures, colours and flavours. The local food scene reflects Luxembourg's traditions, but also its multicultural influences. Savour culinary experiences in awarded restaurants, and discover hearty local specialties like Kniddelen (flour dumplings) or Rieslings-Paschtéit (pastry with meat filling in wine jelly) in classic brasseries. Round off your foodie adventure with a tasting of the internationally acclaimed wines and Crémant de Luxembourg from the Moselle Valley. https://www.visitluxembourg.com/experience-luxembourg/food-drink
Experience culture in Luxembourg
Art and culture can be enjoyed in a relaxed way in Luxembourg. Wander through the museums or seek out the great philharmonic orchestras, UNESCO World Heritage sites, medieval fortresses and modern architecture. Visit the recently opened ‘Europa Experience Luxembourg’ Museum. Discover how the EU works and how the decisions are taken by Parliament, Commission and Council affect you. The industrial revolution left many deep scars on the landscapes of Luxembourg – especially in the mining regions of the south, the cradle of Luxembourg’s iron and steel industry. A ride on the historic steam railway or a trip underground in an abandoned mine let you relive the past of the Minett.
