Cycling in Luxembourg is a pleasant experience due to the country's high quality touristic infrastructure, quiet traffic, cycle paths and a splendid nature.

EuroVelo Certified routes are the best options for beginners!
  • Developed + Signed These sections offer generally good cycling conditions, with limited motorised traffic, rideable surfaces, and EuroVelo signs along the route.

Developed routes without signs are suitable for most cyclists. However, short stretches with lower-quality conditions may occur, and it is warmly recommended to bring a map or navigation app.
