Major city · Luxembourg
Larochette
Spend a half‑day (4–6 h) walking the Mullerthal trail and visiting Larochette Castle; no overnight needed unless you want a night in town.
Larochette is a small medieval town in the Mullerthal region. Its main draw is the 12th‑century castle ruins and the easy‑access trail through the sandstone forest. A few hours cover the sights; stay only if you prefer a relaxed evening in one of the local hotels.

Rules in force · 7Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
- Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
- Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
- Benelux ↗Dutch and Belgian police can ask anyone to show identification (in the Netherlands from age 14): carry the original passport or EU ID card — a photocopy is not accepted.
- Benelux ↗Tap-in fares, Dutch and Belgian domestic tickets and Luxembourg's free transport all stop at the border: buy an international ticket for cross-border legs, or you will be fined on board.
- Luxembourg ↗Luxembourg is in the EU and the Schengen area; the EU Entry/Exit System applies to non-EU visitors. Check the official EU and Luxembourg sources for your passport.
- Luxembourg ↗Public transport inside Luxembourg is free in second class; cross-border trips and first class still need tickets.
- Luxembourg ↗Luxembourgish, French and German are official; English is widely understood in the capital.
Entry rules depend on your passport. Full visa guide
