About Luxembourg

In Luxembourg, a polite nod or verbal greeting is more common than handshakes with strangers; handshakes are typically reserved for formal introductions.

Cyclists must use designated bike lanes where available, and it's mandatory to have working lights on your bike at all times, even during the day.

Visit local wine cellars in the Moselle region during open-house events, where you can taste wines for free or a small fee.

While public photography is generally allowed, it’s polite to ask for permission before photographing individuals, especially in rural areas.

It’s customary to wait until everyone is served before starting your meal, and tipping is appreciated but not obligatory—rounding up the bill is sufficient.

Don’t miss the Schueberfouer, a centuries-old fair in late August featuring rides, games, and traditional Luxembourgish food.

Take advantage of Luxembourg’s free public transportation system, which includes buses, trams, and trains, to reduce your carbon footprint.

Quiet hours are strictly observed, especially in residential areas—avoid loud conversations or music after 10 PM.

Try ‘Bouneschlupp,’ a hearty green bean soup with potatoes and bacon, often served with crusty bread.

Haggling is not a common practice in Luxembourg; prices are usually fixed, especially at farmers' markets and shops.

Most locals speak French, German, and English fluently, so using any of these languages is perfectly acceptable.

Dress modestly and avoid loud conversations or photography during services; it’s also customary to light a candle as a sign of respect.
