Luxembourg City is built on cliffs and in valleys, so the old town above and the Grund quarter below feel like two different places, linked by lifts, stairs and steep lanes. It’s a small capital with a large international crowd and a strong taste for good food. Champagne is easy to find here, and the Champagne region itself is less than three hours away by car.
Most of the Champagne on our map is in the Ville Haute, the upper old town around Place d’Armes, Place Guillaume II and the Grand Ducal Palace. Brasseries, cocktail bars and a dedicated Champagne bar focused on grower Champagne sit within a few streets of each other. Down in the Grund and Clausen, along the Alzette river, restaurants and bars occupy old stone houses beneath the fortress walls, some with terraces cut into the rock.
The city also has several Michelin-starred restaurants with long Champagne lists, and wine runs deep in Luxembourg’s culture. The country’s own vineyards line the Moselle, about half an hour east, where Crémant de Luxembourg and crisp white wines are made.
Explore the Champagne Hunters map before you go. If you find a bar or restaurant serving real Champagne that isn’t listed yet, add it to the map and help the next Champagne lover find it.
Many restaurants in Luxembourg City close on Sundays and often Mondays too, while weekday lunches are busy with the business crowd. Book ahead for dinner on Fridays and Saturdays. Public transport is free across the whole country, which makes it easy to move between the old town, the Grund and Kirchberg without a car.

Yes, very easily. Most venues on our map in Luxembourg City pour Champagne by the glass as well as by the bottle.
Yes. The city has a dedicated Champagne bar specialising in grower Champagne, and a rooftop Champagne bar above Place d’Armes opens in the warmer months. Many cocktail bars and brasseries also take their Champagne lists seriously.
Try gromperekichelcher, crispy potato fritters often sold at markets and fairs, which are great with a glass of bubbles. For a proper local meal, order judd mat gaardebounen, smoked pork collar with broad beans.
Crémant de Luxembourg is the local sparkling wine, and the Moselle valley produces Riesling, Auxerrois and Pinot Gris. Many restaurants list them next to Champagne, which makes for an easy comparison.
Explore the Bock Casemates, the tunnels cut into the rock beneath the old fortress, walk the Chemin de la Corniche for views over the Grund and pass by the Grand Ducal Palace. The old quarters and fortifications are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Champagne Hunters only lists venues serving authentic Champagne from the Champagne region of France. Crémant de Luxembourg and other sparkling wines are not included unless the venue also serves Champagne.
