Regions[edit]

Luxembourg was until 2017 divided into 3 administrative districts, which were further divided into 12 cantons and then 106 communes.

Districts of Luxembourg
  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.
