The LuxembourgPass, the old Luxembourg Card

If you’re searching for the Luxembourg Card, you won’t find it under that name any more. The country’s sightseeing card is now the LuxembourgPass, and the old Luxembourg Card address on the tourist board’s website redirects to the new one. The name and format have changed, it’s digital now, but the idea is the same, pay once and get in free or cheaper at dozens of places.

What it is and how it works

The LuxembourgPass is sold by Luxembourg for Tourism through visitluxembourg. It’s a QR code you keep on your phone or print out. It activates the first time a partner attraction scans it, and from then on it’s valid that same calendar day until midnight at all the others. You need to have it scanned at each place to get the benefit. I’d save the QR code to the phone or print it before leaving the UK, because British networks no longer have to offer free EU roaming and you don’t want to be hunting for signal at a castle gate.

What I like most is the window. You can use it for 365 days from the travel date you choose when buying, and on two- and three-day passes the days don’t have to run consecutively. So you could do a castle day on Monday and a museum day on Thursday without losing anything.

How much is the LuxembourgPass?

There are three durations and three rates. For one person, €23 for a day, €33 for two and €39 for three. For two people, €39, €49 and €55. For groups of three to five, €55, €66 and €71. The official page doesn’t say which year’s tariff these are, so I’m giving them as prices published in September 2026.

There’s no family pass. The group version covers a maximum of five people, «related or not», as the FAQ puts it, so a family of four pays €55 for a day, the same as three friends. If you’re travelling with children, accommodation is covered in family hotels in Luxembourg.

Once your dates are set, check which hotels are still free in Vianden before prices climb.

What’s included, with examples

The official list has 81 participating attractions, spanning museums, castles, leisure and guided tours across the country. Some are free, others discounted. Free ones include Vianden Castle, Larochette Castle, the Natur Musée in the capital, the Dräi Eechelen Museum, the Wasserbillig aquarium and RentaBike hire in Echternach, Wiltz and Diekirch-Ettelbruck. At the A Robbesscheier nature centre in Munshausen you get 30% off. It’s 30% off at the Luxembourg Science Center in Differdange too.

What it doesn’t include is transport, and it doesn’t need to. Anyone can ride a Luxembourg bus or tram, or a train in second class, without paying a cent, so any bundle pairing a pass with transport adds nothing. The details are in Luxembourg free public transport.

Is it worth it? My sums

I’ve done the sums with adult prices published by the attractions themselves. Vianden Castle costs €13 and Larochette €7. The Natur Musée and the Dräi Eechelen are €7 each. Do Vianden and Larochette in a day and that’s €20 of the €23 pass, so any extra pays it off. Over two days, with both castles and both museums in the capital, you reach €34 against €33.

There’s a catch in those sums, though, and it’s the calendar. Vianden is in the north and Larochette in the Mullerthal, and neither has a railway station, so I wouldn’t chain them into one day on public transport. And in the capital several museums are already free for young people, the Natur Musée and the Mudam for under-21s and the Dräi Eechelen for under-26s, plus free entry on certain evenings. For an under-21, the Natur Musée costs nothing with or without the pass.

So I’d buy it for one or two full days of castles outside the city, especially as a group, where the per-person price drops sharply. For a break centred on Luxembourg City, I’d go without and make the most of what’s free, which I’ve rounded up in free things to do in Luxembourg.

Once your dates are set, check which hotels are still free in Vianden before prices climb.

Where to buy it

You can buy it from visitluxembourg’s online shop, in its app, at local tourist offices and at some partner attractions. I’d buy online before leaving home, choosing the travel date carefully, since the 365 days count from it. If anything’s unclear, the official FAQ answers the common questions, from activation to who counts in a group. For other ways to save, such as museums that are free on certain evenings, see Luxembourg on a budget.

If you would rather have a local show you round, book a guided tour in Vianden and choose by the reviews.

A car frees you from timetables: search car hire in Luxembourg on DiscoverCars and compare companies.

So you do not pay over the odds, look at trains, coaches and flights to Luxembourg on Omio and pick the one that suits you.
