Major city · Luxembourg
Berdorf
Half a day to a full day: hike the sandstone rock formations, climb the Aquatower and have lunch. Not a base — stay in Echternach or Luxembourg City.
Berdorf is a small village in the Müllerthal region, famous for its dramatic sandstone rock formations and hiking trails. Most visitors come for a half-day or full-day trip from Echternach or Luxembourg City. The main draw is the Aquatower observation deck and the network of marked trails through the rocks. Accommodation is limited to a few hotels and a campsite.

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
