- 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.
The country is small enough that one base covers it, and public transport is free in second class. Moving hotels between the capital, Vianden and the Müllerthal wastes the mornings; keep the city room and check rural bus times, which thin out in the evening and on Sundays.
