When Is the Best Time To Visit Luxembourg?

The answer to the question of what is the best month to visit Luxembourg depends on what you are interested in doing during your stay. Here you can see an overview of each month and its typical weather conditions.

Tourist Season in Luxembourg

Luxembourg is best visited during the summer months, from June to August, then we can count on warm and sunny weather. Long and not too hot days are the ideal time for sightseeing and hiking along the mountain trails in the Ardennes. However, even in the summer there is no avoiding the rain, which appears quite often, but usually does not last long.

Spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October), despite the fact that it is a bit cooler and the sun is in the sky for a much shorter period of time, is still a good time to travel to Luxembourg.

The winter months, from November to March, are outside the tourist season. Due to falling temperatures, rain or snowfall and high cloud cover, a visit during this period can be much less enjoyable.

Tourist season month by month. Legend

Tourist season - time period with sightseeing-friendly weather (or sunbathing in the case of small island countries) for the average tourist. For countries with a large geographical spread, the most visited places were taken into account and the data were averaged. For selected countries, seasonal holidays were also taken into account, as long as they significantly affect the tourist traffic in this period.

The best time to travel, you can count on very good weather.

A good time to travel, however, sometimes there can be some weather conditions that make the visit a bit difficult.

Spring brings warming, with daytime temperatures oscillating between 13°C - 19°C, with slightly cooler 5°C - 10°C at night. Cloudiness decreases and the number of sunny and bright days increases. There may be fleeting rains and thunderstorms, but they are not so frequent and intense as to disrupt your visit.

The warmest and sunniest months of the year. Usually there is no great heat, the temperature is moderate, 20°C - 25°C during the day, while at night it drops to 11°C - 15°C. There is little cloud cover, and the sun is in the sky for several hours.

Mountainous regions in the north of the country are generally a few degrees cooler than areas in the south. The summer period is also characterized by high humidity and increased rainfall.

In September and October, although temperatures drop to 13°C - 19°C, we can still count on a large dose of sunshine. Without much concern about the aura, you can spend time on active recreation: hiking, cycling. Also, nature adopting autumn colors makes sightseeing more pleasant. However, it is necessary to take into account the increasingly frequent cloud cover and fleeting rainfall.

November - March

In November, the weather deteriorates and the cold starts to become noticeable (about 8°C). More and more days are cloudy and foggy.

The winter months (starting in late November and early December) bring a drop in temperatures to 0°C - 2°C, and in the Ardennes to several degrees below 0°C. Humidity increases and rain or drizzle can be expected more often. Especially in the mountains, snowfall is also possible, however, the snow cover does not last very long.

In general, winters in Luxembourg are fairly mild, big frosts usually do not occur even in the higher parts of the mountains. On the other hand, strong winds and cloudy and cold days are not conducive to sightseeing, so the winter period is outside the tourist season.
