The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is the ideal place for travelling with children and enjoying a holiday with the whole family: despite its small size, Luxembourg is full of places and attractions that are perfect for the kids. Junior explorers will be spoilt for choice thanks to the numerous amusement parks and the many outdoor activities dedicated to entertaining the entire family. Fun is guaranteed: throughout the country you can find playgrounds, indoor and outdoor recreation areas, and parks where even the toddlers can experience thrilling adventures!

Reaching Luxembourg is easy and fast! In fact, thanks to Luxair, the national airline of the Grand Duchy, you can fly there all year round from several different cities.

Balancing hours of games for children with relaxing walks for the grown-ups is possible with a visit to Parc Merveilleux in Bettembourg, a huge amusement park (some 25 hectares) where you can immerse yourself in the magical world of fairy tales.

Adventure lovers cannot miss a visit to explore the ancient copper mines of Luxembourg. The old mine, no longer used but fortunately not abandoned, dates back almost 500 years and winds 50 metres below the surface. Descending the shaft of the mine and going through the narrow underground passageways allows you to see the veins of copper in the rock walls propped up by steel beams. Little explorers will delight in discovering lots of curious details about the miner’s hard work!

For those seeking exciting, adrenaline-filled experiences, until the start of November you can spend a weekend afternoon at the park for climbing enthusiasts, Parc Le’h Adventures Dudelange, where adults and children can experience a host of adventures. The park offers 4 different itineraries and activities for all ages.

The Natural History Museum in Luxembourg City is another must-see for family travellers. The new edifice opened its doors to the public in December 1996 and the ten halls of this modern structure have interactive stations illustrating the different Luxembourg regions and their landscapes, and the development of life on Earth since the origin of the universe. A truly original and fun way of learning!

For those who enjoy family walks, the Bech Hiking Trail for Kids, in the Mullerthal region, is perfect. This 5.5-km-long educational trail is ideal for the whole family! Along the way, the children have a chance to get to know the animals of the forest.
