A weekend in Luxembourg: the base guide
Luxembourg City is perfectly discovered in 2 or 3 days: UNESCO-listed old town, casemates, the Grund and Pétrusse valleys, free or nearly free museums, and entirely free public transport. The right headquarters for such a weekend? A hotel near the station — like Yasha Hotel — from which everything is walkable.
Book at the best rate →Day 1: the old town on foot
From the hotel: Adolphe Bridge (10 min), Place d'Armes and Grand Ducal Palace (15-20 min), the Chemin de la Corniche — 'Europe's most beautiful balcony' — then down to the Grund and its terraces along the Alzette. Back to the hotel without a single transport ticket.
Day 2: casemates, museums and Kirchberg
In the morning, the Bock casemates (UNESCO); in the afternoon, the national museum of history and art or the Mudam at Kirchberg, 15 minutes by free tram. In the evening, dinner at the hotel restaurant or in the Gare district, the liveliest in town.
Why the weekend is the right time
Business-hotel rates drop at weekends: that's when Yasha Hotel shows its best prices. Booking direct on this site, expect another ~10% less than on Booking or Expedia.
