Luxembourg is forgotten by most European travelers, though it really shouldn’t be. It’s loaded with history and its placement on the crest of a mountain group makes for some amazing views to go along with endless charm.

Being a smaller city there are fewer budget options, including only one proper hostel, but there are enough cheaper hotels in Luxembourg to meet the demand most of the year. You can see pretty much all the highlights in two days and one night, so even if you can’t find a cheap hotel it won’t impact you much.
Hotels in Luxembourg have their high season from May through September in most cases, but honestly prices don’t fluctuate much through the year. This is a business city and that means that occupancy can be unpredictable, but it also means that sometimes rates on the more expensive places can be quite low if nothing is going on in the city.

Luxembourg City is smaller than most capital cities and it’s not really known for its cuisine. There aren’t many casual places in the city center so it can be worth planning ahead if you don’t want to spend a lot for each meal.

Luxumbourg has a fairly mild climate all year round, with summers that are pleasantly warm and winters that are rarely bitter. Rainfall is steady throughout the year so it’s always something to consider, and this city has more than its fair share of gray days, much like this entire region of northwestern Europe.
