Don't miss out on public transportation

Did you know that Luxembourg is the first country in the world to offer free public transportation for everyone, including tourists?

This means that you can use buses, trains, and trams without paying anything.

The goal of this policy is to reduce traffic, help the environment, and make transportation easier for everyone.

So when exploring the country, don't miss out on public transportation.

Don't criticize the leader

Luxembourg is a country that values its national unity and identity, and the Grand Duke is a symbol of this unity.

The Grand Duke is the head of state and is highly respected by the Luxembourgish people.

It is important to be aware of this cultural practice and avoid publicly criticizing the Grand Duke to prevent offense or disrespect to the locals.

Flowers should only be in odd numbers

When you are invited to someone's home, it is always nice to bring a bouquet of flowers. However, you should only receive flowers in odd numbers.

In Luxembourg culture, odd numbers are considered lucky. However, there is one exception - the number thirteen, which is considered unlucky.

Therefore, it is better to avoid giving a bouquet with exactly thirteen flowers.

Avoid giving chrysanthemums

In Luxembourg, chrysanthemums are considered official funeral flowers, so it is considered inappropriate to give them on joyful occasions or as a gift when visiting someone's home.

It is better to avoid including chrysanthemums in a bouquet if you are not going to a funeral.

Giving chrysanthemums for any other occasion can be seen as a serious mistake, and it can offend or upset the recipient.

Eat only with a knife and fork

When eating out in Luxembourg, remember that the locals have a formal dining etiquette.

Even when eating a sandwich, it is considered bad manners to eat with your hands and you have to use a fork and knife.

Although it is unlikely that someone will say anything to you because you are a tourist, they may perceive you as brave by doing it in public.
