Luxembourg City Holidays

Bargain Buys

Bargain Buys

If rummaging around market stalls is your cup of tea, don’t miss Luxembourg City’s flea market. It’s a Sundays-only affair, held in Champ de Glacis. Vintage clothing, antique ornaments and pre-loved books are all up for grabs, so you’re sure to find a one-of-a-kind souvenir.

Mid-Range Buys

Mid-Range Buys

Sometimes only your go-to high street faves will do. That’s where Grand Rue comes in – this long road plays host to brands like Sephora and Lush. And, it’s not short of a café or two, so you’ll have no trouble finding somewhere to stop for a coffee break.

Designer Buys

Designer Buys

If you’re in the market for a new designer piece, toddle over to Rue Phillippe II. This pedestrian street’s brimming with big name brands like Cartier, Gucci and Christian Louboutin. It cuts across Grand Rue, so it’s a doddle to find.

Laid-back evenings

Laidback evenings

The Grund is the city’s top spot for a low-key evening on the town. You’ll find loads of upmarket restaurants around here, plus swanky wine bars and cosy pubs. And, views of the canals usually come as part of the package.

Lively evenings

Lively evenings

If buzzy bars, pubs and clubs are what you’re after, make a beeline straight for the Mousel Brewery area. This district’s home to a line-up of lively spots where the party keeps on going ‘til the early hours.

Luxembourg sausage

Wainzoossiss Mat Moschterzooss – or Luxembourg sausage – is a staple here. This delicious snack consists of a sausage marinated in wine, served with a hefty dollop of mustard sauce. Some restaurants serve it with a side of creamy mashed spuds, as well.

Kniddelen

If you fancy a taste of some local fare, pick up a portion of kniddelen. These small, dense dumplings are served with a topping of your choice – think mustard sauce, beer sauce or chopped Luxembourg sausage.

Cremant

Cremant is a sparkling white wine, made in a similar way to Champagne. And Luxembourg’s Moselle region’s known for producing some of the best. So, look out for it on wine lists while you’re in town.

Bouneschlupp

If you’re visiting in winter, warm up with a hearty bowl of bouneschlupp. It’s a comforting soup stuffed full of potatoes, beans, leek and celery, plus either bacon or sausage. You’ll probably spot it on summer menus, too – but with less potato and more veg.

Verwurelter

These Luxembourgish doughnuts are a must-try if you’re craving something warm and sweet. The moreish balls of yeast dough are dunked in a deep fat fryer until crispy, then topped with a scoop of sugar.
