Pricing Analysis & Important Details
01. Luxembourg's public transport has been free nationwide since 2020 — no pass needed
Confirmed directly via the Public Transport Administration (mobiliteit.lu) and the Luxembourg government: since 1 March 2020, every bus, train, and tram ride anywhere in the country is free for everyone, resident or visitor. This makes transport inclusion a non-factor when comparing passes here, unlike most other cities on this site — only first-class rail seating still requires a paid supplement.
02. The LuxembourgPass covers MNHA and Mudam, but not (yet) the Bock Casemates
Both the National Museum of History and Art and Mudam state "Free admission with the LuxembourgPass" directly on their own official visitluxembourg.com listings. The Bock Casemates — one of the city's single most-visited sights — carries no such confirmation; the pass's own shop and travel-trade materials state it is currently excluded "due to technical reasons," alongside the separate City Promenade tour. Budget for its €11 ticket regardless of whether you buy the pass.
03. The Grand Ducal Palace is a summer-only, guided-tour-only product
There is no self-guided or year-round way to see the palace's interior — the 75-minute guided tour runs only from mid-July to the end of August (18 July-30 August in 2026), must be booked in advance through the Luxembourg City Tourist Office, and is not confirmed as pass-included or pass-discounted in either direction. The palace's exterior and the Guard's ceremony remain free and viewable year-round.
04. Notre-Dame Cathedral needs no pass — it's simply always free
Confirmed directly on the cathedral's own official visitor page: there is no admission charge at any time of year, including the crypt holding the Grand Ducal family's burial vaults. The only optional paid add-on is a self-guided audio-tour app.
Which Option Fits Your Visit?
A Museum-Focused Day (or More)
The LuxembourgPass covers both MNHA and Mudam in one pass — worth it if you're visiting both, especially paired with a 2- or 3-day pass to spread the cost further.
A Fortress & Free Landmarks Day
Pair the Bock Casemates with Notre-Dame Cathedral — only the Casemates need a ticket (currently unconfirmed on the pass), and the cathedral costs nothing either way.
Visiting in July or August
Book the Grand Ducal Palace's guided tour well ahead — it's the only time of year the palace's interior is open at all, and tours can sell out.
Don't Budget for Transport
Every bus, train, and tram in the country has been free for everyone since 2020 — it's simply never a factor in the pass-versus-individual-tickets math here.
