At a glance

Luxembourg is a small but proud country, boasting one of the highest standards of living in the world. Luxembourg City is a charming but cosmopolitan mix of medieval buildings and modern attractions. Luxembourg's natural landscape is dotted with imposing fairytale castles and hillside vineyards. The country is also known for its white wines from the Mosel Valley, particularly Pinot Gris, Elbling, and Riesling. Luxembourg is also known for its abundance of butterflies, and many visitors come just to see the millions of butterflies emerging from their cocoons in the spring.

Why cyclists love it

Luxembourg is an ideal destination for a European bike tour – the country's small size means you’ll be able to cover much of it during a cycling holiday. You can bike through the pastoral countryside and to the vineyards or cycle through the old town squares of the city. Luxembourg is very bike-friendly with plenty of paved bike paths and scenic overlooks for a break from pedaling.
