Luxembourg City Tourist Office
As the festive season begins, Luxembourg City transforms into a magical winter wonderland, best explored through the unique guided tours offered by the Luxembourg City Tourist Office during Winterlights.
The Winterlights by Night tour showcases the city’s most stunning Christmas illuminations, offering breathtaking views and festive charm in the glow of holiday lights.
For families, the City Promenade for kids – Saint Nicholas Special combines a treasure hunt through the city with the legend of Mélusine. Children aged 6 and up will uncover hidden stories and receive a “Titchen”—a bag of sweets, as a traditional St Nicholas gift.
A visit to the Pétrusse Casemates is a must, especially during the Winterlights. These historic underground galleries, enhanced with light installations, are located near the Christmas market at the Place de la Constitution, making it easy to combine history with festive cheer.
Whether exploring dazzling lights, uncovering legends, or pairing historical wonders with holiday magic, Luxembourg City promises unforgettable Winterlights memories.
About Clausen district
The Alzette runs through the neighbourhood and divides it into two parts.
People have lived in Clausen since the Middle Ages, drawn to the area by the Alzette river. Its Altmünster plateau overlooking the Alzette became the site of the Benedictine abbey of Munster in the 11th century, which then moved to the Grund in 1543.
Shortly thereafter, the Count of Mansfeld (city governor from 1545 to 1604) left his mark upon the face of Clausen – one which endures to the present day. The vestiges of his sumptuous château and gardens now belong to a heritage site that has been made into a park. Nearby, you'll find the buildings of now-abandoned breweries, which have also become a key architectural feature of this lively neighbourhood.
