Luxembourg Sights by Region and Price
Luxembourg’s sights fall into three regional groups, and each has its own price pattern. The capital has fortifications and museums, the north has the castles, and the Moselle in the south-east has Schengen. Every ticket below is in euros. Second-class trains, trams and buses are free everywhere, with only first class on trains charged, so you can string sights together without buying fares.
Capital: fortress and museums
Bock Casemates. The tunnels at 10 Montee de Clausen belong to the UNESCO-listed old quarters and fortifications. The listing shows 09:45 to 17:00 daily for 18 to 24 October 2026, but winter hours are not confirmed, so check before you go. Adults pay EUR 11, students and seniors EUR 9, and children aged 4 to 12 EUR 5.50. The city tourist office also runs a one-hour guided tour at EUR 20 for adults. Hours are on the Visit Luxembourg Bock page .
Chemin de la Corniche and the Grund. A free promenade follows the ramparts from the Bock promontory with views into the valley.
Grand Ducal Palace. The facade can be seen all year from the street. Interior visits are offered only in a summer window, which ran from 18 July to 30 August in 2026. Dates for 2027 have not been announced. The ticket is EUR 18 for adults and EUR 9 for children aged 4 to 12, and it can be booked online or at the tourist office on Place Guillaume II. The palace holds a formal changing of the guard roughly three times a year.
Museums. Mudam, the modern art museum, charges EUR 10 for adults and is closed on Mondays. MNAHA at Marche-aux-Poissons charges EUR 7, and Musee Drai Eechelen, inside the 1732 keep of Fort Thungen, also charges EUR 7. Both are free to under-26s, and a combined same-day ticket for the two is EUR 12. The Natur musee in the Grund charges EUR 7 and is free to under-21s.
North: three castles
- Vianden. The castle is Romanesque and Gothic and dates from the 11th to 14th centuries. It has belonged to the state since 1977. Tickets are EUR 13 for adults, EUR 7 for students and EUR 4 for ages 6 to 12. Hours are 10:00 to 17:00 in October and 10:00 to 16:00 from November to February.
- Beaufort. The medieval ruin stands next to a 17th-century residence that you can enter only with a guide, and the tour ends with a tasting of blackcurrant liqueur. It is open from mid-March to mid-November, 10:00 to 18:00, with last admission about an hour earlier. Adults pay EUR 8, students aged 18 to 26 and seniors EUR 6, and children aged 6 to 17 EUR 5.
- Bourscheid. It stands about 150 m above the Sure. Adults pay EUR 7, seniors and students EUR 5 and children aged 6 to 12 EUR 4. Winter opening is shorter, so confirm before travelling.
Castle trails pass through woodland where old munitions are still found in the north and east, so keep to waymarked paths and do not touch metal objects.
South-east: Schengen
The Schengen Museum at 1 Rue Robert Goebbels is open daily from 10:00 to 18:00 and charges EUR 5, with EUR 3 for ages 7 to 17. Segments of the Berlin Wall stand on the Place des Etoiles beside it. For help comparing guided sightseeing, browse Luxembourg City sightseeing tours .
Deciding what to pay for
The LuxembourgPass covers sights, not transport, and starts from about EUR 23 for a day. Inclusion depends on the attraction: Beaufort’s old castle, Bourscheid and the Schengen Museum are free with it, but the Bock Casemates and Mudam are not confirmed. Check each site before you rely on it.
War cemeteries and wartime museums
These places commemorate the dead of the Second World War and deserve a quiet visit.
The Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial lies at 50 Val du Scheid in Hamm, about 3 miles east of the centre. It holds 5,070 burials and the names of 371 missing, and General Patton’s grave is there. It is open daily from 09:00 to 17:00, with admission ending at 16:45, and closes on 25 December and 1 January. Entry is free. Free guided tours are given with notice, and 72 hours is suggested. Ask the cemetery about any work around the Patton grave.
The German war cemetery at Sandweiler holds 10,913 Second World War dead. The site is roughly 8 km east of the city centre, a short distance from the American cemetery at about 1.5 km. Confirm opening hours with the Volksbund.
The National Museum of Resistance and Human Rights in Esch-sur-Alzette is open Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 18:00, with adults paying EUR 5 and students admitted free. Official details for the American site are on the ABMC visitor page .
