Getting from A to B has never been easier thanks to Luxembourg’s network of public transportation options. Whether you want to get from the central station to the Kirchberg district or feel like spending the weekend on the Moselle River or visitng some castles in the north, the grand duchy’s trains, trams and buses have you covered. And even better: as of 1 March 2020, you don’t even need a ticket. All public transportation in the country is free, making it a convenient and environmentally-friendly way of getting around for both tourists and long-time residents.
The first thing--and perhaps the most important thing--is to download the Mobilitéit app or bookmark the website. This will allow you to plan your trips, check if your bus, train or tram is on time, or review the timetables of the different routes.
Luxembourg City buses--which have line numbers in the single or double digits and are run by the AVL--crisscross the capital. The city night bus services (CN) operate on Friday and Saturday nights until 3:30 in the morning. Long-distance buses that go outside Luxembourg City (either to other parts of the country or across the border) are operated by the RGTR and often have triple-digit line numbers. And in the south, the TICE network runs buses around the canton of Esch-sur-Alzette.
Luxembourg’s tram line currently runs from the stadium all the way to the airport, passing through Gasperich, Bonnevoie, the central station, Hamilius, Limpertsberg and Kirchberg. Plans are underway to expand the tram network in the next decade or so.
The country’s main railway hub is the Luxembourg City station: from the capital, you can catch a train north to Troisvierges, west to Rodange or Kleinbettingen, south to Esch or Dudelange, or east to Wasserbillig. You can also take trains to the neighbouring countries as well (check the CFL site for deals and combo offers, like the Walygator + train ticket offer). Travelling in second class within the grand duchy is free; if you wish to travel in first class, you’ll need to buy a ticket. Don’t forget: you can take your bike along with you.
Looking to explore Luxembourg over the weekend? Keep in mind that timetables are different on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
