Getting around
All public transport—trains, trams, and buses—is free, making intercity and urban travel effortless, with the capital's tram and funicular linking key districts.
Safety
Luxembourg is very safe with low crime and excellent infrastructure. Take standard precautions against pickpocketing around the train station district in the capital.
Tipping customs
Tipping is modest; rounding up or leaving around 5–10% for good service is appreciated but not required.
Travel tips
Public transport is free nationwide, a huge perk for travelers. Cards are accepted everywhere and English is widely understood. The compact capital is easy to explore on foot, with scenic lift and valley walks.
