Current Travel Situation
Canada to Luxembourg: What You Need to Know
Luxembourg, one of the world's smallest sovereign states, is a founding member of the EU and home to several major EU institutions. Its capital, Luxembourg City, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with dramatic cliff-top fortifications and a cosmopolitan restaurant scene. The country is also known for its wine-producing Moselle Valley and the Ardennes forests in the north. Canadian tourists typically visit as part of a broader Western European trip alongside Belgium, France, and Germany, all of which are also Schengen members.
Practical Tips
- Luxembourg City is compact enough to explore thoroughly in two days; the Bock Casemates and the Chemin de la Corniche are highlights.
- Public transport in Luxembourg City and on local trains is free of charge, one of the few countries in the world with this policy.
- The Moselle wine route runs along the border with Germany and produces excellent Riesling and Cremant sparkling wine.
- Combine with a day trip to Dinant or Ghent in Belgium, both under two hours by road or rail.
