Realistic Expectations for Your Travel Budget

It's important to have realistic expectations for your travel budget. While many people assume they can travel to Luxembourg without spending much money, the reality is that most people are not comfortable traveling on an extremely low "shoestring" budget. Consider what you really enjoy doing when you are on vacation and how you've traveled in the past. Do you prefer resorts, vacation rentals, or hostels? Do you like to experience all of the activities, museums, and sights? Is dining out at delicious restaurants important to you? Your answers to these questions will affect your overall travel budget and itinerary.

What Defines a Budget Traveler?

Many people hear that you can visit Luxembourg for $105 per day, but unless you're willing to eliminate a lot of comforts from your trip, prepare to spend a significant amount more.

Backpackers can often get away with this shoestring budget, but it usually involves staying in hostel dorms, eating at the cheapest restaurants or fast food places, taking public transit or walking, and only visiting free attractions.

Could You Be an Average Traveler?

As a couple or family, you'll likely want to stay in a mid-range hotel, dine at popular restaurants, and explore major museums and attractions, many of which have entry fees. You won't want to miss all of the major sights and attractions. Since most things cost money, your daily budget should realistically be closer to $244 per person, per day.

There are a wide range of hotels and vacation rentals in Luxembourg. If you're traveling with others, you'll share your hotel with a partner, friend, or your children, so costs will be split accordingly, saving money. In places like Luxembourg City and Clervaux, which are particularly family-friendly, you'll find hotels and restaurants that cater to kids. Also, in Luxembourg City, Domus Hotel is a good kid-friendly option, and in Luxembourg City, Novotel Suites Luxembourg is also terrific. You'll find more hotels that cater to families and couples in our hotel guide for Luxembourg here.

Dreaming of a Stylish Getaway?

If you're looking for an all encompassing trip with every amenity and a higher level of service, then prepare yourself for a price tag closer to $485 per day. To stay in nicer hotels, eat at award winning restaurants, splurge on extravagant excursions, and hire private drivers to get around, you'll need to be prepared for a more "luxury" set of prices. With this level of spending, you'll be traveling alongside the rich and famous in places like the major cities and resort areas. Or you could plan an multi-day adventure by booking a higher end tour such as Country Roads of Belgium, Luxembourg & the Netherlands - offered by Insight Vacations.

When dining with children, make sure to find restaurants that offer a childrens' menu. This can save you a considerable amount, as those meals are usually much cheaper. Also, remember that some restaurants might not list the kids' options, so it's a good idea to ask your waiter.

Many hotels offer breakfast as part of the room rate, but some may charge extra for it. The price and quality of breakfast can differ greatly between hotels. Being informed beforehand can help you determine if you want to spend more on that hotel buffet or if a nearby bakery or café would be a more budget-friendly option.

Instead of purchasing drinks everywhere, bring a water bottle along. It's also an eco-conscious choice.

Before you head out on a tour, it's important to check which meals are included. If you have to pay for some meals yourself, it could affect your overall budget.

Luxembourg is the only remaining grand duchy in the world. A grand duchy, also referred to as a grand dukedom, is a territory that is headed by a monarch who is either a grand duke or grand duchess. Luxembourg is also the second smallest state in the European Union.

The economy in Luxembourg is based on steel, finance and technology. This economy thrives, in part, because of its location in the middle of Western Europe near many influential economies. It is one of the top three richest countries in the world, and the cost of living and travel expenses reflect this. The country also packs a surprising amount of natural beauty into its small space, making it a fascinating and fun place to visit.

The climate in Luxembourg is similar to that found in nearby countries. Winters may be mild, but January and February are the coldest months and temperatures can fall to -15 degrees Celsius. Summer can be quite hot, with July and August being the hottest months. It is not uncommon for temperatures to reach about 30 degrees Celsius. Summer is the peak season for travel but the most comfortable times to visit is during the spring and fall months. Luxembourg's National Day is on June 23rd.

Luxembourgs terrain is mostly made up of gently rolling hills and valleys. The northern area becomes slightly mountainous and there is a steep slope down to Moselle flood plain in the south.

At A Glance

Train coverage is quite comprehensive in the south but the north is limited to only on main line that runs from Luxembourg City to Mersch, Ettelbruck, Wilverwiltz, Clervaux and Troisvierges and on into Belgium.

  • A comprehensive and reliable bus service is available within the city and the most useful line for tourists is 16 which connects the town to the airport via Kirchberg. The 18 connects the town to Kirchberg and Auchan. Bus tickets are also valid on the train and vice versa. You can purchase them from the driver and they are valid for up to 2 hours.

German is commonly heard in the media, in the court system and throughout the region. It is also taught in schools. Road signs, menus, and information centers usually offer information in French, but German is the most common in the region that borders Germany.

  • Luxembourgs currency is the Euro. Every country on the euro issues its own coins, which are valid throughout the eurozone. Luxembourgish coins are among the rarest of the euro coins, even in Luxembourg itself, so if you stumble upon one, it's worth holding on to as a collectable or simply a souvenir of your trip.

  • The young population generally drinks local or imported beer and there are a decent number of breweries around. The most popular are Diekirch, Bofferding, Battin and Mousel. White wines that are common in the Moselle Valley include Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Rivaner and Elbling, among others.
