Luxembourg: When to Go

Springtime is a great time to be amongst the riot of wildflowers, celebrations and folk festivals nationwide. The weather from late-spring to early-autumn is also usually good for outdoors activities - so long as you don't mind a bit of rain and battling the tourist swell. Winter is not as extreme in Luxembourg as it can be in nearby countries, so if you find yourself visiting during the colder months, you needn't weigh yourself down with polar gear.

Weather

Diminutive Luxembourg has a fairly standard climate for a landlocked Central European country. The forest and hills in the north of the country are wetter and see slightly less sunlight but are generally identical in temperature. Summer days are usually mild, averaging 22-24°C (71-75°F) while winter days usually sit just above zero (32°F), but can occasionally become quite bleak. A small, secluded pocket in the southeast of the country sees warm summer temperatures creep into autumn.
