Discover Diekirch
Diekirch is a friendly riverside town whose museums and accessible centre make an enjoyable complement to the larger sights of Luxembourg City.
Regional museums, riverside paths and a relaxed small-town rhythm.
Free local transport: no pass day needed
Ordinary domestic second-class trains, public buses and trams in Luxembourg are free to residents and visitors. Do not activate a Benelux pass day solely for these journeys. First-class rail and the paid part of an international trip need appropriate validity. Check Luxembourg’s official transport guidance .
