Where Is Luxembourg Located?
Luxembourg is in western Europe, inland between Belgium, Germany and France. It is not part of Belgium, despite sharing a name with Belgium's Luxembourg province. Its capital, Luxembourg City, is near the south-central part of the country.
- North and west: Belgium, including the Ardennes area.
- East: Germany, partly separated by the Our, Sûre and Moselle rivers.
- South: France, with cross-border routes towards Metz.
Luxembourg measures roughly 82 kilometres from north to south and 57 kilometres from east to west. Unlike coastal European destinations, it has no seaport or coastline. Its position makes cross-border rail and road connections especially important.
Luxembourg Regions and Major Cities
Geographically, Luxembourg is often described as two broad areas: the northern Ãislek (Oesling) and the central and southern Guttland. Tourism guides also distinguish the Mullerthal, Moselle and Minett areas.
| Area or city | Map reference |
|---|---|
| Luxembourg City | Capital, old quarters, railway station and European institutions. |
| Ãislek | Northern wooded hills and valleys, including Clervaux and Vianden. |
| Guttland | Central and western countryside, settlements and castles. |
| Mullerthal | Eastern sandstone formations, forests and Echternach. |
| Moselle Valley | Eastern river border, vineyards, Remich and Schengen. |
| Minett | Southern former industrial region, including Esch-sur-Alzette and Differdange. |
Administratively, Luxembourg has 12 cantons, including Luxembourg, Esch-sur-Alzette, Diekirch, Echternach, Vianden and Wiltz. These are different from the broader geographic and tourism regions shown above.
Landmarks to Find on the Map
- Luxembourg City's old quarters: Historic streets, bridges and fortified landscapes recognised by UNESCO.
- Vianden Castle: A major historic castle in the country's north-east.
- Echternach: An eastern town near the Mullerthal walking landscapes.
- Schengen: A village on the Moselle associated with European border-free travel agreements.

Some attractions sit in steep valleys or pedestrian areas where a map's straight-line distances can be misleading. Check local access information and walking routes before visiting.
Transport and Border Connections
Luxembourg has a national railway network, motorways and regional roads connecting its cities and neighbouring countries. Luxembourg railway station is a key interchange, and Luxembourg Airport lies east of the capital. Regional train and bus services also connect smaller communities.
Most domestic public transport is free in second class, though exceptions and cross-border fares can apply. For journeys involving Belgium, France or Germany, confirm the relevant ticket and timetable before travel. The map is a geographic reference rather than a live journey planner. Visitors can use it to compare the locations of Luxembourg City, Esch-sur-Alzette, Vianden and the Moselle before choosing a route.
