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.
Remich is a 3,000-person wine town on the left bank of the Moselle, the river that forms the Luxembourg–Germany border. The whole town is a 1 km riverfront quay with cellars, restaurants and a riverboat dock, and buses run free from Luxembourg City in about 35–40 minutes. It works as one night, or as a half-day stop paired with Schengen or Mondorf-les-Bains.
