Transportation

Luxembourg was the first country in the world to offer free nationwide public transportation. Whether you take a bus, train or tram – you can hop on or off without needing a ticket.

Getting to Luxembourg Sustainably

Luxembourg’s central location in Europe and excellent transport connections make it an ideal destination for lower-impact conference travel. For many participants, especially those travelling within neighbouring countries, rail offers a convenient and significantly lower-emission way to reach the city.

At the same time, we recognise that not all journeys can be made by train. For those travelling from further afield or from regions with limited rail connections, flying may be the most practical option. Luxembourg Airport (Findel) is well connected to major European hubs and provides straightforward access to the city via the many public transport options.

Leave the plane behind

Luxembourg is well-connected by high-speed and regional rail services, offering a comfortable and low-carbon alternative to flying:

Frankfurt: 4 hours
Brussels: 3 hours
Cologne: 2 hours 30 minutes
Paris: 2 hours 15 minutes
Strasbourg: 1 hour 30 minutes
Metz: 50 minutes
Trier: 50 minutes

We encourage all participants travelling from within Europe to consider rail travel. Train journeys produce signficantly fewer emissions than flights, and deliver you directly to Luxembourg City Centre.

Nationwide coverage: free travel extends to all corners of the country
Frequent service: regular departures throughout the day and evening
