country

LuxembourgLëtzebuerg

First trip: 2–3 nights in Luxembourg City with day trips by free public transport to Vianden and the Müllerthal; pair it with Belgium, France or Germany rather than giving it a whole week.

Not field-verified

Luxembourg is small enough that one base covers the country, and public transport (trains, trams and buses) is free for everyone in second class. Hotels are pricey and fill on weekdays with business travellers; weekends are often easier. Rural buses are less frequent, so plan day trips around the timetable.
