Imagine hiring a big city centre apartment in Luxembourg, Diekirch, or Esch-sur-Alzette; a large self-catering holiday property in Mondorf-les-Bains, one of Luxembourg’s attractive spa towns; a rural farmhouse in the Ardennes; a grand chateau in the Oesling; or a big family chalet in Little Switzerland.
Where to Stay in Luxembourg
It’s not easy choosing where to stay in Luxembourg, with such a fabulous range of towns, cities, and rural destinations, as well as superb group holiday accommodation.
Hire a large holiday apartments in Luxembourg and explore the capital’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites; enjoy beautiful views from the Chemin de la Corniche; and don’t miss the Gothic Revival Cathedral of Notre Dame, the town fortifications, and the Grand Ducal Palace, which is surrounded by quaint cobblestoned lanes. Then there are further attractions such as the fascinating underground Bock casemates, Neumunster Abbey and the Place d’Armes — as well as several World War II memorial sites and excellent museums.
Hire a big holiday home in Little Switzerland (Mullerthal), situated on the River Sure and centred around the gorgeous medieval town of Echternach. Ideal for history lovers, the area is full of artifacts from the Mesolithic era, and is home to the Museum of Prehistory at the Hihof in Echternach. Visit the remains of the 12th century Beaufort Castle; try the local tipple — Cassis blackcurrent liquor; then explore Little Switzerland’s valleys, dramatic cliffs, crashing waterfalls and unusual rock formations — or go hiking, cycling or rock climbing. Take in fabulous views from Consdorf, and follow a walking trail through the weird and wonderful rock formations in Christnach.
Stay in a holiday cottage in the Ardennes to admire beautiful landscapes made up of winding rivers, valleys and lush pastures; charming villages and local churches full of frescoes; restored Vianden Castle; and the panoramic views from Vianden chairlift. Or visit the city of Clervaux with its restored UNESCO-listed 12th century feudal castle; take a trip to the National Museum of Military History; or seek out the highest peak in the Grand Duchy within the German-Luxembourgish natural park that runs along the river.
If you book group accommodation in the Land of Red Rocks, you can enjoy group hiking trips through woodlands and pastures and across plateaus; visit the lively town of Esch-sur-Alzette, known for its theatre and events scene; and seek out the region’s Art Nouveau and Art Deco-style mansions that give the Land of Red Rocks a sophisticated air.
For a refreshing retreat away from it all, head to a large holiday cottage in the Moselle Valley where you can enjoy the country’s finest wines and tour a range of wine cellars, visit the Wine Museum in Ehnen, and enjoy local delicacies such as small fried fish (Friture) or baked pike. Take a boat trip from Schengen to Wasserbillig; pamper yourself in Mondorf-les-Bains, enjoy a flutter at Casino 2000; or time your trip to coincide with the vibrant Grape and Wine Festivals in Spring and Autumn.
