Luxembourg can be visited visa-free for up to 90 days by citizens of most European countries, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Israel, UAE and most countries in America. If you are unsure whether or not you need to apply for a visa, we recommend contacting the embassy or consulate in your country. International (non-Schengen) travellers need a passport that is valid for at least 3 months after the end of their intended trip in order to enter the Schengen zone. Citizens of Schengen countries can travel without a passport but must have a valid ID with them during their stay.

Best Time to Visit
Luxembourg can be visited at any time of year. Keep in mind, however, that some attractions, especially in the Ardennes area, may only function at full capacity during the high season months of July and August (for example, guided tours to some castles/museums may only be available during those months). Do not let this be a decisive factor though, since most attractions can still be visited on your own.
If you're looking for active pastimes, such as hiking, late spring or early autumn may be your best bet with regard to comfortable temperatures. While the summer season may be better for trips and excursions, the pre-Christmas period with its atmospheric markets is another good time to go, and temperatures rarely drop below zero even in the winter.

Luxembourg Airport (LUX)
Luxembourg's only international airport may be easily reached by public transport. Buses 6, 16, and 29 will take you to the city centre every 10 to 30 minutes. Since March 2020, public transport in Luxembourg has been free of charge. For more details on the schedules of these lines, visit the Luxembourg public transport website.
Taxis can be hired at the airport, as well as rental cars.
One can also travel to Luxembourg via the German city of Trier (Bus 117, which stops both at the Luxembourg airport and in the city). There are coaches that run to France (Metz, Nancy) and Belgium (Arlon, Bastogne, Marche-en-Famenne) operated by a private provider called Flibco.

The extensive and interconnected network seamlessly connects urban centres, rural areas, and even extends across borders to Germany, France, and Belgium. Passengers only need to show a personal identity document, if requested by the conductor.
