Regions[edit]
Luxembourg was until 2017 divided into 3 administrative districts, which were further divided into 12 cantons and then 106 communes.
Central Luxembourg (Colmar-Berg, Luxembourg and Mersch) The formal side of Luxembourg, Luxembourg city is the main attraction, Colmar-Berg a secondary. Central Luxembourg is the formal side of the country. |
Land of the Red Rocks (Differdange, Dudelange and Esch-sur-Alzette) Industrial region with museums and other attractions focussing around this. The region is still used for mining, though to a lesser extend. Many of the former railroads servicing the mines have been turned into heritage railroads. |
Luxembourgian Ardennes (Diekirch, Ettelbruck and Vianden) Forested area with a common history in both world wars (Battle of the Bulge). Many historical- and war museums throughout the region. The region's terrain is fit for hikes and off-road cycling. |
Moselle District (Grevenmacher, Mondorf-les-Bains and Schengen) The wine region of Luxembourg, most cities are located along the Moselle river, leaving them at arms length from Germany. |
Mullerthal (Beaufort, Consdorf and Echternach) As are the Ardennes, the region is filled with forested and slanted terrain, inviting visitors to hikes or off-road cycling. The region is often referred to as Luxembourg's Little Switzerland due to the similarities in terrain. |
