Luxembourg · Updated May 2026
Luxembourg City sits on dramatic cliffs but has excellent infrastructure and lifts connecting the levels.
Planning your trip?
Luxembourg City is built on multiple levels connected by spectacular cliffs and valleys, which sounds challenging but the city has invested in glass elevators and panoramic lifts that make level changes manageable with strollers. The Upper Town is mostly flat and accessible, and Luxembourg's wealth shows in excellent family facilities everywhere. The population is international and very family-friendly, with great public transport.
