Visit the Grand Ducal Palace

Do you want to feel like the Grand Ducal Family? The summer is the only time you can visit their palace! It is open to the public for this part of the year only. The tours are available in several different languages, and the cost will vary depending on age. The palace is absolutely gorgeous and a must see for anyone who has not seen it in person yet!

Parc Merveilleux in Bettembourg

If you want to spend some quality family time in a quieter, discovery based location, Parc Merveilleux is the place for you! Part zoo and part park, you are able to see animals from five of the seven continents, ranging from kangaroos to monkeys and more! There are also a range of activities like playgrounds and mini-golf for everyone to enjoy.

Nature Reserve

Alongside the border of Belgium and Germany lies a Luxembourg nature reserve that is nearly 400 square kilometers in size. This reserve is a hikers dream, featuring massive plateaus, rivers, and rocky sections, it has everything you can want.  If you are more of an adrenaline junky and hiking is too slow for you, then be sure to go mountain biking here instead!  With over 400 kilometers worth of trails to explore, there is a high chance you discover something new while exploring.  If you are looking for guided hikes, click this link for more information. 

E-Lake Festival

11 to 13 August

Located at Lake Echternach, the E-lake festival features 3 days worth of music.  The festival consists of genres such as pop, EDM, and Hip-Hop.  The premise of this festival is to camp outside for the entire weekend, and you are able to freely choose which venues you want to attend.  For more information on the festival and the campsite, click here.

Wine Tasting

The Moselle in Luxembourg has been going toe-to-toe with the Champagne region in France for years. Bernard-Massard Winery is one of the most established in Moselle and one of our favourites.  We would definitely recommend doing a tour and trying some of their nicest wines. Boasting more than 100 years worth of history and growing, we are excited to support the local Luxembourg business!  Check out their website for more information here.

You can find a list of Luxembourg’s Wineries in the Moselle here. Most of them offer visits & tastings!

Other Activities

If none of these options have caught your eye, there are always other things to do in and around Luxembourg! Take a trip to some of the most famous castles in the country: Bourscheid Castle, Useldingen Castle, Beaufort Castle, and Vianden Castle. Or, try visiting a variety of Luxembourg’s best museums that offer guided tours and special activities for children all throughout the summer months. You can also take a day trip to the surrounding countries if you are looking for a brief family getaway.
