Preparing for Luxembourg: Tips & Hints

1. A significant part of the city’s parks and suburban areas are privately owned, so you can walk through them only in case you have permission from the owner. Before making a walk or a ride to the city’s suburbs, you should check with your guide or hotel employee whether this place belongs to someone.

2. Hunting license is valid no more than five days. You can get it at the District Commissioner’s office. No more than three licenses can be issued for the same name during one season.

3. Fishing license can be issued by not only District Commissioner, but also by the municipal administration. Its final cost will depend on the location chosen and methods of fishing.

4. When visiting local restaurants and bars, you should leave tips that estimate 10% of the total bill. In taxi you can also leave a reward to the driver, rounding the due sum to a bigger digit.

5. Voltage in Luxembourg is 220 V, so before you leave your home, check appliances for compatibility.

6. There are not so many cars in the city, so you can walk by feet almost on all the streets.

7. Rates in local restaurants and shops are quite high. It is not recommended to purchase the items you like in the first store on your way. There’s a chance that the same item will cost a lot cheaper in the nearby shopping pavilion.

8. It’s quite hard to find a cheap restaurant in the city. Rates of all dining facilities are approximately the same. Those, who want to save money on food, are recommended to visit numerous bars as many of them have rich menus.

9. At first glance, the locals may seem to be a little reserved, but they are very friendly to travellers and are always willing to help in a difficult situation. The only thing to remember when dealing with local people – be polite.
