Guided bus and train tours Luxembourg

Welcome aboard Train 1900 for an unforgettable journey through Luxembourg's railway history. Immerse yourself in the golden age of steam railroads in an enchanting setting... This picturesque steam train runs on an 8 km long former industrial track (formerly known as the Ligne des Minières), which was abandoned after the end of mining operations and an incident in 1964 (a spoil slide). The Train 1900 association has a collection of no less than a dozen steam and diesel locomotives, as well as two railcars. Over the years, they have been preserved and restored to their original condition. In 2023, the site celebrated the 120th anniversary of the Arbed Differdange No. 12 locomotive (the one you can see on the logo) and the 50th anniversary of Train 1900!

Two routes are available to visitors: from Rodange wood or Pétange station, to the Fond-de-Gras mining valley (and vice versa). It passes by the Titelberg archaeological site (with remains of the Celtic town and Gallo-Roman vicus) and crosses the former "Dhoil" open-cast mine (a stop can be requested depending on the schedule). Finally, it runs through part of Minett Park, one of the most important mining centers in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, before stopping at the Fond-de-Gras goods station, built in 1875. Timetables vary according to the route and type of locomotive (steam or diesel).

Travel back in time on the Pétrusse Express, a historic train that explores the streets of the Grand Duchy, ideal for a family visit! Each stop represents an important part of the Grand Duchy's history, and you'll learn all about it thanks to the commentaries broadcast during the tour. At two stops, you can get off to explore the area on foot and catch the next train. The attraction can be complemented by a virtual reality (VR) experience.

Discovering Luxembourg City by bike is child's play! Four tours are detailed in the "Bike Promenade" brochure: the Tour Kirchberg (9.2 km), the Tour Vieille Ville & Gare (5 km), the Tour Parcs (12.3 km) and the Tour Vallée de l'Alzette (13.1 km). These itineraries, with different distances and difficulties, allow you to explore the different districts of the capital. They are available for free or, if you wish, accompanied by a guide.

Station district, Kirchberg Plateau, European Institutions, Villa Vauban... Discover the main sites of the city on board a double-decker bus! You can get off and on as you wish at the 8 different stops: Avenue Monterey, Central Station Quay 106, Amalia, Pescatore Foundation, Quay 1 Mudam (Grand Duke Jean Museum of Modern Art), Luxexpo Parvis Sud, Funicular / EIB (European Investment Bank) and Stäereplaz/Étoile Quay 4. An ideal means of transport to discover the must-see attractions of the capital of the Grand Duchy.

A total of 17 marked circuits, with different levels of difficulty, offer you the possibility to discover the forests and valleys of the Luxembourg Ardennes by mountain bike. While some of the circuits are designed for the more sporty, others are ideal for family rides. Guided tours are organised for adults on request at the Regional Tourist Office Ardennes luxembourgeoises. Different types of bikes for the whole family are available for rent through Rent A Bike (see prices on the website).

It is difficult to pass through the Moselle region without stopping at one of its wine cellars... This is why Domaines Vinsmoselle, the largest producer of Luxembourg wine and crémant, offers you a guided tour and a tasting. The visit can take place at the Caves des vignerons de Wellenstein, founded in 1930 and the most important site of its kind in Luxembourg, or at the Caves de Wormeldange, housed in a prestigious Art Deco building.

The "Minièresbunn" is a mining train that takes you into the fascinating world of mining in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The journey takes you to the heart of Minett Park, to a time when Luxembourg's iron mines were still the driving force behind the country's industrialization. The site's history dates back to the ^19th century, when Luxembourg's mining industry was at its peak. At that time, numerous iron mines were operating in the Terres rouges region. The "Minièresbunn" train was an essential link in the railway infrastructure, transporting iron ore from the mines to the region's steelworks and blast furnaces.

Today, this mining train has been carefully restored and preserved to offer visitors an authentic immersion in the country's industrial past. Climb aboard and step back in time to relive Luxembourg's mining epic... The narrow-gauge railroad (70 cm gauge) runs from Minett Park (Fond-de-Gras) to Lasauvage, passing through the Doihl mine workings and descending underground through the old rolling gallery. At Lasauvage, the train continues on to Saulnes (France), a former mining and steelworks site. It's an impressive 4 km journey that appeals to young and old alike! Departure from Fond-de-Gras is from the platform next to the café-restaurant Bei der Giedel (with a lovely terrace to stop on the way back).
