Why Luxembourg?

By Tiziana Caruso, Business Development Manager, Luxembourg Convention Bureau
Did you know that Luxembourg is one of the world’s most internationally connected countries?

With 48% foreign residents and more than 170 nationalities, Luxembourg’s multicultural environment makes it easy for international associations to attract global attendees.

On top of that, Luxembourg is one of the world’s most internationally connected countries: it is one of the EU’s three official capitals and it hosts major institutions such as the Court of Justice, the European Investment Bank and Eurostat, among others — bringing a highly international workforce to the country. It is also home to numerous international associations and organizations, further reinforcing its global connectivity.

Did you know that Luxembourg ranks among the safest and most stable countries worldwide?

Political stability, strong institutions, and excellent infrastructure create an environment where associations can plan their events with confidence.

Did you know that Luxembourg is the only country in the world with free public transport?

Buses, trains, and trams are completely free for everyone. This makes delegate mobility seamless, sustainable, and budget-friendly.

Where to stay?

We can count around 80 hotels rated three stars and above among our partners. These include independent hotels, apartment-style hotels, and chain hotels such as those from the Accor Group or Meliá. For luxury stays, different options are available, like the historic Luxembourg Marriott Hotel Alfa or Villa Pétrusse, a distinguished hotel listed in the Relais & Châteaux collection.

How to reach Luxembourg?

As noted above, public transport in Luxembourg is free for everyone, making it easy to get around the country. Luxembourg is also one of the most highly connected countries in Europe, easily reached by air, rail, and road. The Luxembourg Airport offers flights to major European destinations, while high-speed trains connect the city to Paris, Brussels, and Frankfurt, and a dense highway network links Luxembourg to neighbouring countries.

Somewhere special: personal recommendations/insider tips?

For a memorable experience in Luxembourg, head to the Bock Casemates in Luxembourg City. These historic underground tunnels offer a fascinating glimpse into the city’s fortress past, with hidden passages, secret chambers, and panoramic views. During Christmas time, enjoy the magic of the Christmas market and try one of the local ‘Gromperekichelcher’.
