I had to stop at Luxembourg station many times, before the euro was in use. I never found the foreign exchange located at the same address, in the same building. Wonderful confusing station, but to buy a bottle of water i always had to wait until i left the country. Bummer.
The cheapest and easy way to get to and from the capital and Findel International Airport is bus no. 16. Labelled ‘AUTOBUS CENTRE-GARE, HESPERANGE 16’ it costs less than 2 Euros and takes only 15 minutes to get to the centre. The bright clean and modern busses display the stops inside so you know when you are at your stop. Coming from the airport you want to get off at the ‘ROYAL’ stop which only around the corner from the Place Hamilius, the main bus terminus. Its also the start of the pedestrian area of the old town. Busses every 20 minutes except on Sundays when they run every 30 minutes. Why pay for a taxi when its this quick and cheap?
If you don't have a car, the only thing you can rely on is buses. Since the railway network is nto so widespread, there are only two main rail directions, you'd always have to get off the train at some point and take the bus. Most of the places are not connected by train!You can check bus schedules on the link I provided.
Just a short walk over the bridge from the old town in the capital, it offers international trains services for all over Europe. It also has clean (pay) toilets, ATM’s, several good food and/or drink establishments, a Tabac and even a small tourist office with a suit of armour in the window. The small interior is tastefully decorated with murals on the ceilings and art deco type statues. Its incredibly clean. You can buy a Benelux Tourrail pass here for trains across Luxembourg, Belgium and Holland. If you are arriving here, you can easily roll your luggage into the city centre hotels.
When I first decided to rent a car in Luxembourg I was a little nervous but mostly excited. The more I thought about it, the more nervous I became so, when I got to the rental agency, I was sure to ask for very specific directions. The lady who helped me quickly informed me that "it is impossible to get lost in Luxembourg, it's too small." This put me at ease only slightly because I had visions of unintentionally proving her very, very wrong. Thankfully, though, she explained to me how to ensure that I didn't get lost and she was right! I didn't get lost while I was there. Coming from the land of freeways where every set of directions involves a lot of numbers ("Take the 10 to the 110 to the 5...") I wanted to know the numbers of the roads I would be taking but you really don't need to worry about that. Once you leave the city, you don't even need to worry about the names of the roads....
There is an airport but, if you get a chance, take the train into Luxembourg. From Bruxelles, it's only a few hours and the train goes through the Ardenne Forest, which is beautiful and, considering all the history that place has seen, I was glad to have the opportunity to get a glimpse of it. From Cologne, it's only about 3.5 to 4 hours.The station isn't far from the heart of the city - about a 20 minute walk (that is pleasant when it isn't pouring rain). The best part however, is the station itself. Inside there is a stained glass window of the city that is lovely and above it is a mosaic ceiling with a celestial theme. Even if you don't take the train into town, it's worth a stop to see this.

In 23 cities and towns in Luxembourg you can use the Velo bicycles for long or short periods of time. I used these in the capital and it was very easy. The following information describes the scheme there, across the country it varies, so please consult the website. Across the capital there are a series of automated rental bicycle stands that are free for shorter periods of time. Simply go up to the computerised kiosk at the larger stand and insert a credit card. Instructions are not that straight forward, but essentially you pay 1 Euro to get a unique code you can use over and over again. When you unlike a bike using your code you can cycle all over the city. When you are done you can go to any of the stands and simply reinsert the cycle into a stand. For short periods (30 minutes) its free and for longer time periods its economical. If you leave the bike unlocked somewhere and its gets...
Aerogare Findel is the nice, shiny, and modern international airport in the capital city. It is 6 kilometres from the old town. There is not much to do in the airport. On the airside are a single bar/café, a grossly overpriced souvenir shop that also sells papers and a duty-free shop that almost no passenger can actually use because there is no duty free left in Europe. Try not to find yourself airside for a long time. You will get very bored. The main airlines flying here are:LuxairBritish AirwaysLufthansaSwissSASVLM AirlinesAustrianTAPKLM
City Sightseeing Luxembourg, another hop-on hop-off bus. If you only have one day to explore Luxembourg city this might be another choice to consider, it sure will save you much time (but not the money!) The green bus takes you through the city, start from the Constitution Square to; The Old Town, City Garden looping out to the outer city ring where there're the Museum of Modern Art and a huge shopping complex, and back to Central Station. The tickets are 12 EUR and also combination tickets with the Petrusse Express (the mini train) for 17 EUR.
