Luxembourg railway station, railway station
Luxembourg railway station is the main rail terminal of Luxembourg City, connecting the country to Belgium, France, and Germany. The building has a large entrance hall with ticket counters, waiting areas, luggage lockers, and several shops and cafes.
The first station opened in the 1850s, when rail lines began linking Luxembourg to the main networks of western Europe. The current building dates from the late 19th century and has been updated several times since to handle growing traffic.
The station sits at the heart of the Gare district, a neighborhood shaped by decades of arrivals and departures from across Europe. The streets around it are lined with restaurants, exchange offices, and small shops that reflect the international character of this part of the city.
The station is about a 20-minute walk from the old town, or a short bus ride away. Elevators and accessible facilities are available throughout the building, so it is worth arriving a little early to check the platform information on the departure boards.
Luxembourg made all public transport free for every passenger in 2020, which means that any train journey within the country starting from this station costs nothing. Travelers only need a ticket if they are heading to a destination outside Luxembourg's borders.
