1. MNHM National Museum of Military History
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 373 reviews
First this museum was dedicated to the "Battle of the Bulge" in Luxembourg in winter 1944/45. The key topic of the museum remains the balanced and objective historical representation of the military operations in the Ardennes from the german, american and civilian points of view. Over 3000m2 of exhibition space enable an insight of the dramatic and tragic situations that both, soldiers and civilians, were caught in. Special showrooms feature extensive collections of weapons, uniforms, military equipment of all kind, wheeled- and tracked vehicles, in addition to numerous personal soldier's belongings, photographs, documents and maps. The museum's core is doubtlessly the detailed diorama of the night-time Sauer river crossing at Diekirch on January 18th, 1945. Another part is dedicated to the history of Luxembourg's own armed forces. Other sections are dedicated to Luxembourgers fighting in allied armies in both WWI, WWII, and during the Korean conflict.

Last minute activity at the end of our holiday, and I’m so glad we went! The exhibition/gallery was free of charge and showcased great pieces of work. Even if you don’t enjoy art museums or galleries you will enjoy and appreciate the art work on display. Defo recommend if you have an hour or two to spare!

For the old children that still play with small trains, here is the place to be ! Some fellow enthusiasts bought, refurbished and maintained old vapour trains, including the railway stations, the tools, the clothes, ... required to operate it. And they do it ! You can take the train to an incredible slow (30 Km/h) travel through Luxembourg, in plain genuine wagons, in the smell of old wood and coal smoke ! Not to miss. Nice pictures ahead !

The exhibition is worth seeing. Photos from all corners of the globe, showing diversity of human life and inevitable common traits. The birth, the death, and everything in between, the joy and sorrow of a human being.

I paid a visit with my wife to the tramway museum in Luxembourg City one Sunday afternoon recently. However,being a visitor to Luxembourg I was unsure of quite how to get to the museum,so I cheated and I hired a taxi from the city centre at the Gare Centrale costing 11 euros which took less than ten minutes to take us to the tramway museum. Returning to the city centre later from the museum,we were advised to catch the bus back from the bus stop at Bouillon (we travelled back by a No.1 bus) which is about a five minute walk away from the museum which worked well for us,but I'd suggest that you do ask for directions to the bus stop before leaving the museum if you're unsure of the area as it is a quiet part of town and there were very few people to ask directions from in the street when we did this. The museum is well worth a visit should you be a transport enthusiast,or should you be seeking an interesting attraction to occupy and entertain your children, and once you've arrived at the tram museum you'll find an interesting display of old trams all of which had been wonderfully preserved,together with many exhibits ranging from models in their display cabinets to exhibits of ancient electrical equipment and signs and so on . .. In fact if it's to do with trams - it's there! Admission is free,and the curator on duty kindly took all the visitors present including ourselves on a short ride in a old tram in the yard outside the museum which was most enjoyable and a great experience too. I feel that you need to be a transport enthusiast to enjoy the museum to the full which I certainly did, but my wife who I cannot reasonably expect to be interested in public transport surprised me by saying on the way back to our hotel that she had enjoyed Luxumbourg's tramway museum very much indeed. In my opinion it's recommended,especially if you're interested in transport, but do check before you go as it's not open every day. Do take your wife along with the kids, you may well be pleasantly surprised just as I was!
