Luxembourg Profile
Travellers should be aware of their own security
Country Summary
There are no specific security threats in Luxembourg; however, an underlying threat of terrorism remains across Europe.
Security (Terrorism, Conflict, Insurgency, Kidnap)
A low threat of terrorism remains in Luxembourg; however, the country borders Germany, France, and Belgium. These three countries experienced attacks in recent years.
Political Instability/Civil Unrest
Demonstrations do occur and are often small and peaceful. Demonstrators commonly protest issues regarding politics and the European Union.
Crime
There is very little violent crime, but pick-pocketing can occur in public areas such as bus, rail, and airport terminals, particularly in Luxembourg City. Maintain good situational awareness and do not leave valuables unattended.
Transportation
Road conditions are generally well-maintained. Traffic congestion, particularly through urban areas, is likely due to increased volumes of traffic which utilize several major highways to transit between Belgium, France, and Germany. There are reportedly government plans to make all public transportation free after March 2020.
Environmental
There are no significant environment risks in Luxembourg.
Medical
Medical provision in Luxembourg is of high standard and widely available.

Luxembourg: Possibility for air traffic disruption at Luxembourg Airport between 6 June and 7 July
06/06/2019 14:48:01Alert Categories:
Airline / Airport Information
Passengers flying through Luxembourg Airport may be affected by flight disruptions between 6 June and 7 July due to the installation of new radar equipment in its air tower, which will require a number of tests. The Air Navigation Administration (ANA) announced that it would install new air traffic control radar software between 6 and 7 June. Once installed, the airport will have to conduct tests to ensure the software works successfully. The following transition phase will incur air traffic restrictions, affecting both instrument flight rules and visual flight rules. According to the ANA, the month-long transition period could be adapted provided tests run successfully. Travellers are advised to monitor all flight information if using the airport in the coming weeks. Contact your airline for flight specific details.
