|---|---|---|---|

Tram T1: new since 2025
Since 2 March 2025 Luxembourg’s tram reaches the airport. The stop Findel – Luxembourg Airport is in front of the terminal, and line T1 runs from there through Kirchberg (the EU institutions and offices), across the Red Bridge into the city centre and on to the central station. It is the easy choice if you are staying in Kirchberg or the old town. The government’s transport site also opened a new interchange at Senningerberg, Héienhaff on the way.
Wéi laang dauert et, bis den nächsten Tram kënnt?
Literally: How long until the next tram comes?
Buses 16 and 29: straight to the station
The airport itself points travellers to buses 16 and 29, which run to the city centre every 10 to 15 minutes and pass the central station (Gare). If you are catching a train — to Paris, Brussels or Trier — the bus is the simplest link. Live times are on mobiliteit.lu and in its app.
Fiert dëse Bus op d’Gare oder an d’Polvermillen?
Literally: Does this bus go to the station or to Pulvermühl?
Meaning: D’Gare is the station — Luxembourgish uses the French word.
No ticket needed
Since 1 March 2020 all public transport inside Luxembourg — buses, trams and second-class trains — has been free. You do not buy, validate or show anything. You only need a ticket for first class on trains or for journeys that cross the border. The details are in Free public transport in Luxembourg.
Going on to Germany? Regional line 302 continues from the airport area to Trier. Inside Luxembourg it is free; for the part beyond the border you need a cross-border RegioZone ticket (from €3 for two hours, sold in the CFL go app). See Luxembourg to Trier and the Moselle.
Taxis, parking and drop-off
- Taxis wait at the terminal; prices are metered. The government’s taxi portal infotaxi.lu lists licensed companies.
- Dropping someone off? Short-term car park C at the terminal entrance is free for the first 15 minutes.
- Leaving from Luxembourg? The airport asks passengers to arrive no later than two hours before departure.
- Coming from further away? Some travellers fly into larger airports nearby — compare them in Airports near Luxembourg.
Wa mer de leschte Bus verpassen, da musse mer en Taxi huelen
Literally: If we miss the last bus, we’ll have to take a taxi.
Luxembourgish for the trip
A few sentences from the official dictionary, each with its native recording — the kind you will use on the platform and on the bus. More in Luxembourgish on the bus and the train.
Fluchhafen
Literally: Airport
Mir sinn dëst Joer mam Fliger an d’Vakanz geflunn
Literally: This year we flew on holiday.
Meaning: The verb is fléien, to fly.
Ass dës Plaz nach fräi?
Literally: Is this seat still free?
Ech hu mer e Billjee kaaft, fir mam Zuch op Léck ze fueren
Literally: I bought a ticket to go to Liège by train.
Meaning: Billjee (ticket) comes from French billet. The verb is kafen — kaaft is its past participle.
Also useful on the road, each with native audio: good morning, good evening, yes and no, nice to meet you — and the words for food, times and dates, the weather and money.
The verbs you need on any journey: fueren (to go by vehicle), huelen (to take), ukommen (to arrive), waarden (to wait), bezuelen (to pay) and reesen (to travel).
