Kirchberg

Kirchberg is a business district on an elevated plateau in Luxembourg, characterized by modern office complexes, administrative buildings, and contemporary structures that shape its skyline. The area houses European institutions, financial operations, and cultural facilities alongside commercial spaces.

The plateau started as a military stronghold in the early 1700s with a fortification built to defend the border. During the 20th century, it gradually transformed into an administrative and business hub for modern Europe.

The concert hall and modern art museum serve as cultural anchors where locals and visitors gather for performances and exhibitions. These spaces give the district a creative side that contrasts with its office buildings.

The district connects easily to the city center through public buses, trams, and other transit options that operate regularly throughout the day. Plan to use public transportation to move between scattered buildings, as walking distances can be considerable.

A striking bridge crosses the Alzette Valley to link the plateau directly with the old town, making the elevated district surprisingly accessible despite its height. This connection has served as a major crossing between two contrasting parts of the city since the mid-1900s.
