Neighborhoods in Luxembourg City

The Kirchberg Plateau is Luxembourg's modern showpiece district, a planned quarter of bold EU institutions, contemporary museums, concert halls, and parkland connected to the old town by the Grande-Duchesse Charlotte Bridge (Red Bridge).

Pfaffenthal is one of the quietest lower-town quarters, squeezed between the Alzette River and the Kirchberg cliff. Its narrow lanes of pastel-coloured houses and the Vauban circular towers give it a village feel minutes from the city centre.

Clausen is a narrow valley neighbourhood stretching along the Alzette River northeast of the Grund. Once dominated by the Mousel brewery, it has reinvented itself as Luxembourg's nightlife corridor, known locally as 'Rives de Clausen.'

The Grund is Luxembourg City's most atmospheric quarter - a narrow riverside strip along the Alzette beneath the fortress cliffs. Once the working-class heart of the city, it is now a charming mix of cosy pubs, restaurants, boutique hotels, and the National Museum of Natural History.
