Travel notes for Luxembourg Province

From Wikivoyage

The province of Luxembourg is the southernmost and largest province in the Wallonia region of Belgium. It is bordered to the east by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and to the southwest by France. It is divided between the Belgian Ardennes to the north and Gaume (the Belgian part of Lorraine) to the south. It has around 280,000 inhabitants and is the least populated of all Belgian provinces.

Understand+

The province of Luxembourg was once part of the same body as the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. When Belgium was created, both Luxembourgs were part of the newly born country, but after Dutch demands, the culturally German part of the region (Grand Duchy) was split from Belgium, while the Romance-speaking (the province) stayed within the country.

Get in+

By car:

The province is served mainly by two motorways, that meet near Neufchateau, in the center:

The E411 that links Brussels to Luxembourg

The E25 that links Liège to Neufchateau

Most of the province is within 1-2 hours rides from Brussels and 40-90 minutes from Liège. Arlon is 20 minutes from Luxembourg.

By train:

The Brussels-Luxembourg line has four main stops in the province:

Marloie (1h40 from Brussels, 40' from Namur)

Libramont (2h, 1h)

Marbehan (2h20, 1h20)

Arlon (2h40, 1h40)

Trains leave both ways every hour from 6:00 to 22:00.
