Driving in Luxembourg
Driving in Luxembourg offers a chance to explore at your own pace. It might be one of the smallest countries in Europe, but it boasts a well-maintained road network, and stunning scenery at every turn. But beware, there are a few differences from driving in the UK to take note of.
1. Right-Hand Traffic
Unlike the UK, Luxembourg follows a right-hand drive system. That means you’ll be driving on the right-hand side of the road and the steering wheel will be on the left.
2. Speed Limits
Speed limits differ slightly from the UK too. They’re typically 50km/h in built-up areas, 90km/h on open roads, 130km/h on motorways and expressways. In rainy weather speed limits on motorways and expressways drop to 110km/h.
3. Petrol Stations
Fuel stations are scattered throughout Luxembourg, and many of them are open 24/7. The two closest to the airport are the Esso station at Rue de Trèves, and the TOTAL station at Rue de Neudorf. Prices vary, but are generally lower than in the UK.
Discovering Luxembourg
With its strategic location in the heart of Europe, Luxembourg is often overlooked by its neighbours Belgium, Germany, and France. But the country is rich in natural beauty, historical sites, and charming little towns. Here's where your rental car will come in handy.
Luxembourg City
Just a 15-minute drive from the airport is Luxembourg City, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its fortified medieval old town. Here, you'll find the Bock Casemates, vast tunnel networks, the Gothic Revival Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Grand Ducal Palace, and beautiful pedestrian-friendly squares.
Echternach
About an hour's drive north-east of the airport, Echternach is Luxembourg's oldest town. Must-visits include the Abbey of Echternach, the Roman villa, and the surrounding Mullerthal region also known as 'Luxembourg's Little Switzerland'.
Vianden
Further north about 50 minutes by car from Echternach, Vianden is a picturesque town on the banks of the river Our. Its major attraction is the restored Vianden Castle, which dates back to the 10th century.
