Travelling to Luxembourg:
Travelling to Luxembourg from France has
become a lot easier since the opening of the TGV connection Paris-Luxembourg.
Travel time from Paris Est is only two hours. Participants coming from Metz or
Nancy can also choose to take the TER, which takes 50 and 90 minutes,
respectively.
For participants coming from the Netherlands, one of
the easiest ways to reach Luxembourg is by train. Those coming from the West of
the Netherlands may prefer the connection by means of Brussels, which goes
every hour. Those coming from the East of the Netherlands may prefer the
connection by means of Maastricht and Liège ("Luik"), which goes only
once every two hours, but follows a very scenic route.
Return tickets Luxembourg can be bought at the
standard NS vending machines (click on "To Belgium / Luxembourg /
France" at the start menu). When buying tickets, one has to specify
whether to travel by means of Roosendaal and Brussels or by means of Maastricht
and Liège, so please check at the international
trainplanner which connection is most convenient. One also has to
select a "starting date" of the ticket. Both the forward and return
trip have to take place within one month of this starting date, to the ticket
is not bound to a particular time or date. It is also possible to buy the
ticket at the domestic (!) counter, which will charge a € 3,50
booking fee.
One could save an hour of travel time by taking the
Thalys between Amsterdam and Brussels, instead of the regular intercity, but
this requires a special (and more expensive) ticket that is not available from
the standard NS vending machine. Furthermore, the ticket can only be used in
the trains it is booked for, allowing no flexibility at all (unless one is
again willing to pay a heavy additional fee). Travellers might choose to take
the regular intercity train instead.
Participants travelling on a really tight budget can
also come by coach. Eurolines
Netherlands offers return tickets starting from € 28, to those that
book early.

Participants coming from places that are too
far to conveniently reach Luxembourg by train could choose to travel by airplane instead. The
following regional airports can be recommended.
airport. The airport has recently been
reconstructed and the shiningly new terminal indeed looks very appealing. Some of the advantages of Lux Airport
are its relatively small size and fast and efficient procedures (one has to
be at the airport only one hour before departure). Only a limited number of
airlines fly to Luxembourg, including CityJet.
The national carrier LuxAir is
also a very decent option. From the airport, it's only 20 minutes to the city
centre by bus. A good choice is to take bus 16 which
stops nearby all hotels mentioned later on this web page (€ 1.50 one-way). For hotel Français,
Molitor or Alpha, it would also be possible to take bus 9.
Our experience is that a taxi from the
airport to the city centre can easily cost € 35.
away from Luxembourg by shuttle bus. Expect to pay about €
30 for a bus
return ticket Frankfurt Hahn - Luxembourg. This is one
of the favourite options of the staff at the University of Luxembourg. |
