Some of Our Favorite Travel Videos We Think Other Travelers Would Love

Our Travel Gear:
Microsoft Surface, Travel Laptop: We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.

Camera Sony Alpha Series: We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.

Western Dynamics 4 TB external hard drive. This let's you save your pictures and videos from your SD cards while you travel without having to use a computer.

Manfrotto Tripods: We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Our Packs/Luggage: Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here

Update: Public transportation is free in all Luxembourg now. And by Luxembourg I mean the whole country

[dws]

Keep in mind, since this video was filmed (2019 I believe), public transport has become entirely free in Luxembourg ! There's busses to basically any tiny village in the country, so do get the chance to use the system !

Been living here for 15 years. The service isn't bad at all. It's actually great. What you don't find is fake smiles, excessive pleasantries, waitresses pretending they adore you etc.

[acmulhern]

Just a note when it comes to the service:
Of course some places are just not friendly, which happens everywhere, but as a whole they are friendly but not pushy. People in Luxembourg tend to prefer to be left alone when shopping or having a dinner, so the input of waiting staff or shopkeepers is kept to a bare minimum as a way of not being annoying. It's just a different culture and what locals tend to prefer.
We don't enjoy rude people though, so you don't need to accept that sort of treatment either.

So, maybe I'm biased because I'm from Luxembourg, but I don't agree with the assertion that the service in restaurants and cafés is bad, there's always the odd chance to come across a particularly unfriendly or incompetent, lazy server, but in general they get the job done and aren't rude or anything. Of course, if you're used to the whole North-American fake smiles "Hi, my name is Cindy, I'm your server for the night, I'm going to make sure you have the most fabulous time with us...", then yes, in contrast our servers appear more unapproachable, but that's not what I'm looking for in a server anyways.

As a person that lives in this country i just wanted to add, that a Week-End ist enoigh time to get to know the City but not Luxembourg itself. We have a lot of beautiful places all around the country :) sad but true if you want too see the real Luxembourg it is advisable to ask Luxembourgers to show you the Country

[ailishbethd]

You will hear Luxembourgish spoken A LOT. I guess you're talking about Luxembourg City. If you venture outside the city, you will hear Luxembourgish.

[brianbovi]

Note that Public Transit, including trains are now free nationwide ;)

Not being a Luxembourgish guy, I have been living here since 1998 and had some time to adapt but what is said in the video (even short) is true. Don't forget the great history of this country, it's social, economical and financial stability. It's the 2nd largest fundindustry in the world. Overall a secure place to live in I must agree. Come and visit us you will enjoy. Greatings from Luxembourg.

Coming from luxembourg ( yeah a real luxembourgish guy :P), i have to say that our service in shops and restaurants isn't rude. It's just that we dont have the fake smiles, pleasanteries and waitresses who fake that they adore you because in our country they are not dependent on the tips like in the usa...
For me, shops in france are way more rude
Rest of the video is pretty acurate
Also to mention, we have real national dishes but you have to know where to get them as most of the restaurants dont serve them as they are focused on another type ... Italian, chinese, japanese, ... Often some luxembourgish national dishes are served in restaurants with french cuisine or italian cuisine and you have to look them up on the menu cause they are hidden and you have to know it is a luxembourgish dish (as you could think it would be a french dish)

You can really understand how nice and chill people are from your first “don’t worry about crossing the street “😂 love that

[ridikrossbitch]

I moved here a year and a half ago - its a joy. If you ever receive a job offer, dont think twice 🤙🏻 plus you for sure need more than a weekend - the walks around the country are more than great ! You ca go to Germany, Belgium and France. You can hike, you can do it all, especially with the free transport.

I have visited Luxembourg in April 2021, it is one of the most beautiful places i visited. I was so surprised with the beauty of this country. I will definitely visit it again, to enjoy the city without the covid restrictions . Greetings from Cyprus

[jadegiles-nash]

I did 24 hours in Luxembourg 🇱🇺 in July 2019 £15 with Ryanair going and €8.78 with British Airways coming back to London. My taxi home from Heathrow was £52 cost less for me to fly there and back. 😅 Was an amazing 24 hours, was expensive but amazing!

[RicebeheaderPat]

1:40 Local Luxembourger here! We^re actually not that rare, we just prefer to stick to ourselves. Mostly because were annoyed of all the people that live and work here all their lives and still do not speak a single word of Luxembourgish. We do hang out with the Portuguese though, they are cool and they learn our language. Plus most Luxembourgish people spend most of their time outside of the city, so as soon as you leave Luxembourg-ville, the chance of meeting a local rises drastically.

[tomazito]

About the first don’t: If the car has a none luxembourgish license plate DON’T expect it to stop, especially if it’s french

Note: This happens more often outside of the city

[xtasy]

Hard to meet luxembourgish people in the city because most simply can’t afford living there anymore

[RM]

I cannot wait to return to Luxembourg... one of the most lovely countries I have had the pleasure of visiting. I happened to arrive during their independence day celebrations which was AMAZING

[fadnama]

Luxembourg is my favorite country I’ve visited in Europe, and Echternach is my favorite town! I stopped there to find a restroom while returning to Amsterdam from Trier, Germany. It was a beautiful quiet Sunday (3 years ago this week!) and I ended up wandering the cobblestone streets. A few shops were open and the square only had a few people in it. I fell in love with the place.

I vacationed in Luxembourg from Canada about a decade ago and loved it. I spent two weeks there but did visit Belgium, Netherlands and Germany while staying in Luxembourg. I had been warned about the customer service and people weren't as friendly there but I didn't find the service bad at all and everyone was very nice and kind to me. Not that I managed to meet anyone that was actually from Luxembourg, but all the ones living there were great to me. I also didn't find it crazy expensive there either. Maybe I'm just used to high prices living in Canada but I spent under 2K on the 2 week trip which included my travel costs but I did get to visit 4 Countries on 2K by staying in Luxembourg. Granted, I had a friend living there so did have a free place to stay and a tour guide.

They had the best food I'd ever tasted and I come from the seafood capital of Canada. We basically have seafood jump from the Ocean onto our plate. I feel I experienced "real food" like it was supposed to taste when I visited Luxembourg. I found it hilarious they had this amazing food and a few people asked me if I lived closed to McDonalds back home like having these greasy burger joints all around you was the greatest thing. I was like why on earth would you want that trashy food when you have so much better food here.

I was there during a jazz festival and had a blast. The only disappointment was the casemates were closed for repair while I was there. I so wanted to see them. I hope to go back someday and see them and some other places I didn't get to.
