Staying in Gare, Luxembourg City
Use the station entrance and the tram corridor as reference points when comparing addresses. Avenue de la Liberté leads toward the center, while streets off Avenue de la Gare have a different mix of shops and accommodation. If you have an early departure, check the actual walk to the station doors, including road crossings, rather than relying on the property's neighborhood label.
