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.

The Luxembourg Moselle is a 40 km strip of wine villages on the German border, all reachable free by bus and train from Luxembourg City. Sleep in Remich or Grevenmacher, ride the river path, tour a crémant cellar, and cross to Trier or Schengen on the same trip. One night covers the wine villages; two lets you add Mondorf-les-Bains or a German-side stop.

How to split the nights, day-trips and what to do with your bags

Open Plan the nightsClose Plan the nights3 partsNights · Day-trips · Bags

Night sequences

1 nights: Remich or Grevenmacher 1 night; bike the river path, one cellar tour, Schengen on the way back
2 nights: Remich 1 + Grevenmacher 1; add Mondorf-les-Bains spa or a German-side train to Trier

The valley is a wine strip, not a beach: the Moselle is a working shipping river and swimming is unsafe.
Villages are small; many cellars and restaurants close one weekday and shut early outside May–October.
