Life in Luxembourg City

A career in the heart of Europe

Welcome to Luxembourg City, a charming and dynamic hub at the crossroads of Europe. Although it’s small, it plays a big role on the world stage. There are around 15 000 people working for the EU institutions. 

The city combines old-world elegance with modern sophistication: from its UNESCO-listed Old Town perched on dramatic cliffs to sleek financial districts that drive Europe’s economy. Strategically positioned between France, Germany, and Belgium, it offers easy access to Europe’s major cities. Known for its high quality of life and multilingual culture, it’s where international professionals and locals alike feel at home in the heart of Europe. 

150 banks and financial institutions
40% of the city is green space
60 museums and galleries

For anyone looking for a good balance between city life, family life and nature, Luxembourg is an excellent choice. It is family-friendly, with a wide range of childcare and education options. And here is Luxembourg’s best-kept secret: did you know that public transport is free?

Luxembourg offers an excellent quality of life and a truly multicultural environment. Despite its size, it is an international country where people from across Europe come together. For me, it provides an excellent balance between professional opportunities, family life and personal wellbeing.

I truly enjoy living in Luxembourg. It is an international city where people from many different countries feel welcome, so you never really feel like a stranger! I also appreciate the balance it offers: beautiful nature, a high quality of life, and everything you need within close reach.
