Luxembourg City airport transfers
Luxembourg Airport connects to the city by tram and bus, so your accommodation's location matters more than finding a single central terminal. The tram suits Kirchberg and onward travel toward the upper town. Bus 29 serves the main station. Check the current journey planner before traveling, particularly for an early flight or a late arrival.

How each one works
Tram: Airport tram
Follow the tram signs from the terminal and check the destination display before boarding toward the city. The route serves Kirchberg and Theater. Standard public transport within Luxembourg is free, so you do not need to buy a tram ticket.
Bus: Bus 29
Follow signs to the airport bus stops and check the display for bus 29 toward the main station. Travel is free on the domestic public bus network. Confirm the current departure and journey time in the official journey planner.
Taxi: Airport taxi
Use the signed taxi rank outside arrivals or arrange a collection directly with a licensed operator. Give the full accommodation address, particularly for the valley quarters, where the nearest vehicle access may differ from the pedestrian entrance.
Arriving late or leaving early
Check the final tram and bus departures for your arrival day, allowing time for baggage collection. If your flight arrives after services finish, use a taxi or arrange a collection. For an early departure, plan backwards from the airline's required airport arrival time.
Before you land
- For Ville Haute, compare the walk from Theater with other tram stops using your hotel's exact address.
- For the Grund or Pfaffenthal, check the final descent and lift access before choosing a route with heavy luggage.
- Use mobiliteit.lu to check the complete journey, including the walk from your stop to your accommodation.
