Current Travel Situation
Afghanistan to Luxembourg: What You Need to Know
Luxembourg is a Schengen member: a Luxembourgish Schengen visa grants access to all 27 Schengen countries. The Schengen fee is €90 since June 2024. Luxembourg has no embassy in Afghanistan, Pakistan, or most of the Middle East region. Applications are directed to the Belgian Embassy in Islamabad or another designated Schengen representative. Luxembourg City is small enough to explore thoroughly in 2 to 3 days and is ideally combined with Belgium, France, and Germany. Uniquely, all public transport in Luxembourg is free of charge.
How to Get There
No direct flights connect Afghan airports to Luxembourg. Route via Frankfurt (FRA) or Brussels (BRU) then Luxair to Luxembourg (LUX), or fly to Brussels and take a 3-hour train. Via Istanbul (IST) with Turkish Airlines then connecting. From Islamabad, connect through Gulf hubs. Luxembourg is practically visited as part of a Benelux or multi-country European trip. Total journey time from Kabul is typically 14 to 18 hours.
Money & Banking
Luxembourg uses the euro (EUR). Visa and Mastercard are accepted everywhere. Luxembourg is expensive even by European standards: accommodation from €70 per night, meals from €15 to €25. Public transport throughout Luxembourg is free (the first country worldwide to offer this). ATMs are available throughout. The country is trilingual: Luxembourgish, French, and German are all official languages.
Practical Tips
Luxembourg City's UNESCO-listed fortifications and the Bock Casemates underground tunnels are the main attractions. The Chemin de la Corniche viewpoint over the Alzette valley is called the most beautiful balcony in Europe. The Moselle River valley wine region produces excellent Riesling and Cremant sparkling wine. Echternach is a charming medieval abbey town. The Ardennes region in the north has castles and WWII Bastogne memorial sites. Luxembourg is a key financial centre and home to European institutions including the European Court of Justice.
