Travel tips for European countries: Luxembourg

About the country

One of the smallest sovereign states in Europe is the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The northern part of the country is blessed with vegetation and hills. Ardennes offers
great panoramic views. The country is small and all tourist attractions are within reach. It is winter in Luxembourg during the winter, but not as cold as the
neighboring countries, and summer is warm, which arrives in May and lasts until September. In case of emergency, dial 112 or 113.

Culture

Usually, a handshake is used to greet people. Although most local people speak English, Letzeburgesch is the national language of Luxembourg. Many Luxembourgish speak
French and German as well. When it appears as a guest at someone’s home, it is good practice to give gifts or flowers. People are expected to be dressed in smart
casual clothes, but better if they participate in social functions or clubs. Smoking is not recommended in public places.

Shopping

Villeroy and Boch crystals and porcelain are well known, and Nospelt Clay Ceramics is a product to be purchased in Luxembourg. 15% VAT applies to all items purchased
that are not at the campsite, hotels, and restaurants that charge 3%. The salary is tax-free.

Places to visit

The capital of Luxembourg is a place. Stay for a day or tea exploring the city. The Viaden village has a castle on a cliff, which is a famous landmark.

Taxis can be rented in the city. 10 am to 6 pm They charge an additional 10% tax, and if they are hired on Sundays, an extra 25% tax will be paid throughout the day.
Accommodation

There are many luxury hotels in Luxembourg, most of which are in Luxembourg City. Other options include a guest house, beautifully decorated with flowers and plants.

Traveling

The national airline operating here is Luxair. There are flights every hour from London to Luxembourg. Luxembourg Airport is 5 km from the city. There are provisions
for, for example, duty-free shops, banks, tourist information, and car hire.
Eurostar provides fast train services from London, Paris, Belgium, France or Brussels to Luxembourg. Reservations can be made by phone, and a £ 5 fee will be charged
for phone bookings. Check the suggestions on some routes. To travel internally, you can buy an Inter-Rail edition that offers unlimited train travel to 29 European
countries.

When driving on the road, it is recommended to take a train or ferry ride between Dover and Calais. Check for vacancies, especially during peak hours. Drivers must
remain on the right-hand side while driving, and for safety belts, strict rules for drinking.
