Claus, L. (European Commission)

“For me Luxembourg has so much to offer.

A multitude of cultures and nationalities which makes it a playground for anyone interested in languages and foreign habits. It’s easy to arrive in a country that is so used to welcoming people from practically everywhere. This goes for Luxembourgers and expats alike and for the public services too: At Ville de Luxembourg you can be served in French, German, Luxembourgish, Portuguese and English.

It’s a wealthy country with free public transportation. Despite its modest size, Luxembourg has a rich cultural offer and magnificent nature with hills, rivers and forests aplenty. Geographically, Luxembourg is also well placed as a starting point for exploring the neighbouring countries. You can reach the Vosges by car in 2 hours and the Alps in less than 6. In the ‘Grande Région’ nearby cities like Trier and Metz offer different atmospheres, and you can take the TGV train to Paris from Luxembourg.

I have a passion for cycling, and I appreciate the terrain, good roads and the ever-expanding net of bicycle lanes. When I ride my bike, I often visit 3 countries in less than 2 hours which is something my friends back in Denmark find quite extraordinary. A ride along the Vallée des 7 Chateaux or the Luxembourgish Ardennes always puts me in a good mood.“
