LUXEMBOURG
This small country is often forgotten when thinking about a European travel destination, but this country has undeniable charm. From the medieval, fairytale castles that are around, what seems like, every corner to the thriving modern cities, Luxembourg is a must-visit in my opinion! This is the perfect getaway in Europe and it has everything you want for enjoying a short time away from home.

Best time to visit
Luxembourg is an all-year travel destination, but the peak season would be between June and August in the summer months. July is the busiest month in summer, because of the start of the summer vacation around Europe. The summer is so popular, because of the pleasant temperatures, longer days, and some festivities that take place like highland games.
I traveled to Luxembourg in June in the middle of a heatwave and would preferred to have a bit more mild temperature to travel around the country.
Winter
December - March
This time of period is perfect for a cozy winter escape where you can enjoy this country with some snow. As a bonus, there will be fewer crowds.
Spring
April - May
During these months, you will get a chance to do some amazing hikes, but with less money spent as it’s shoulder season. The weather will also not be as hot as in the summer months.
Summer
June - August
This will be the busiest time to visit Luxembourg, but you’ll also have the best chance of good weather AND all the hiking trails to be open. The downside would be the prices that will increase.
Autumn
September - November
Fall is an excellent time to visit Luxembourg, because of the colorful foliage! As a bonus, it’s less expensive to see, but this period has more rainfall, so you won’t be able to do everything.
Practical information
People from the Schengen area or the European Union can enter Luxembourg with a valid identity card. Other people need to have a valid passport.

Slovenia uses the power plug sockets that are of type F. The standard voltage is 230 V and the frequency is 50 Hz
As an European, you can use your own SIM card. Everyone outside the European Union will need to buy a local SIM.
Credit and debit cards are widely accepted. And there are a lot of ATM’s spread throughout Luxembourg!
Absolutely! Luxembourg is an extremely safe country. You just need to take precautions like in every other country you travel to.
It’s quite easy to take public transportation around Luxembourg. Besides, did you know that public transport in Luxembourg is free? You read it correctly, it’s completely free! All forms of public transport, including buses, trains, and trams are free for residents and tourists throughout the country since 2020. So, you don’t need to buy a ticket, only if you want to travel in 1st class. Find more information about public transport here.
Luxembourg can be quite cheap to travel too, but expect a budget around €50 – 100 per day, depending on your luxury. Most activities are free in the country, except for a visit to some castles.
