1, 2 & 3 Day Luxembourg City Itineraries
Geography-aware sample routes through the old town's palace and cathedral, a full morning in the Bock Casemates' fortress tunnels, and a modern-art day on the Kirchberg plateau, with an integrated Google Maps route for each day.
Day 1: Old Town — Palace, Cathedral & Museum
Grand Ducal Palace, 17 Rue du Marché-aux-Herbes, Luxembourg City, Luxembourg
Start at the Grand Duke's official residence, admiring its 16th-century Flemish Renaissance facade and the ceremonial guard at the entrance. The interior is open only via guided tour in summer (18 July-30 August in 2026) — outside that window, the exterior and courtyard are the free, year-round highlight.
Notre-Dame Cathedral, Rue Notre-Dame, Luxembourg City, Luxembourg
Walk to Luxembourg's national cathedral, built 1613-1621, and visit the crypt holding the Grand Ducal family's burial vaults.
National Museum of History and Art (MNHA), Marché-aux-Poissons, Luxembourg City, Luxembourg
Finish the day at the historic Fish Market square, exploring the permanent archaeology and history collection (always free) and, time permitting, a paid temporary exhibition.
💡 Practical Tips & Recommendations
- • The Grand Ducal Palace's interior is only visitable on a guided tour in summer (mid-July to end of August) — outside that window, admire the facade and guard from the street instead.
- • Notre-Dame Cathedral needs no ticket or pass at any time of year.
- • MNHA's permanent collection is free regardless of a pass; only paid temporary exhibitions require a ticket, confirmed included with the LuxembourgPass.
