Luxembourg in Three Days
Home » Luxembourg » Luxembourg: A One to Three Day Itinerary » Luxembourg in Three DaysThree days is perhaps the ideal amount of time to spend in Luxembourg. You’ll have enough time to see much of the country without feeling rushed but you’ll save plenty of time for other, larger countries.
Spend your first two days as we suggest in “Luxembourg in Two Days.” Your first day you’ll explore historic Luxembourg City; its castle and fortifications, its museums, and its culture. On the second day, you’ll drive north to Vianden, where you’ll spend the day admiring the castle and biking through the beautiful Ardennes countryside.
For your third day, you can further explore either one of these spots or you can choose between one of these options:
Option One: Head to the Moselle Valley in southeast Luxembourg. Pick a city that has a wine cellar open for public tours (St. Martin’s in Remich is a good example) and head there. After the tour, spend your leftover time exploring the town; any one of Luxembourg’s small towns exudes charm.
Option Two: If you prefer hiking to wine tasting, head to the Mullerthal Region and the city of Echternach. Spend the day hiking or biking outside the city, but make sure you at least stop by the Basilica of St. Willibrord in the city. If you’re there during May or June, you’ll notice the International Music Festival going on as well.
Either option will be Luxembourg in a nutshell: small towns, beautiful landscape, relatively small crowds, and a relaxed atmosphere. You simply need to decide which “Luxembourg in a nutshell” experience you want.
