Current Travel Situation
Croatia to Luxembourg: What You Need to Know
Luxembourg is the European Union's wealthiest country per capita and hosts major EU institutions including the European Court of Justice and the European Investment Bank. Croatia joined the Schengen Area on January 1, 2023. Luxembourg's capital, Luxembourg City, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with one of Europe's best-preserved medieval fortresses. The country is trilingual (Luxembourgish, French, German) and serves as a major financial hub. Despite its small size (approximately the size of Istria), Luxembourg offers significant travel and professional opportunities for Croatians in EU-related fields.
How to Get There
Zagreb (ZAG) connects to Luxembourg (LUX) via one-stop connections through Brussels (BRU), Frankfurt (FRA), or Amsterdam (AMS). Ryanair serves Luxembourg from several Croatian airports seasonally. Alternatively, fly into Brussels or Frankfurt and take a train or bus to Luxembourg.
Money & Banking
Luxembourg uses the Euro (EUR). Cards are widely accepted. ATMs are available throughout the country. Luxembourg is expensive even by Western European standards: expect higher prices than neighboring Belgium, France, or Germany for accommodation and dining. Tipping is not obligatory but rounding up or leaving 5-10% is appreciated in restaurants.
Practical Tips
Luxembourg City is compact and easily explored on foot. Public transport in Luxembourg is free of charge: buses and trains within the country have been fare-free since 2020. Luxembourg Airport (LUX) is small but well-connected to major European hubs. The Moselle wine region and the Ardennes forest offer scenic day trips. Cross-border shopping and dining in France, Belgium, or Germany is easy and popular.
