Luxembourg is not only a great place for day trips but also a good base for visiting neighbouring countries and those farther afield. Local cycling enthusiast Tatiana, coordinator of the Luxembourg branch of Critical Mass, recently decided to take a trip to Maastricht. Read about her adventures travelling by bus, train and bike through Luxembourg and Belgium to the Netherlands, then back again, in “Cycling to Maastricht” and get inspiration for your own trip!

If you’re thinking of planning a trip, find train times and special fares on cfl.lu and research routes around Luxembourg on the Visit Luxembourg site.

Luxembourg City recently launched a new initiative: the first Sunday of every month the shops are open all afternoon and a flea market (vide-grenier) is held in the centre. Today was the second event in the 2013 season, being the first Sunday of May, and it was absolutely beautiful weather!

This month’s flea market was at Place des Martyrs

A perfect day for leisurely cycling into town, enjoying the nearly car-free streets, visiting the flea market and shops, and then stopping for a cold drink in the shade.

The next flea market/Sunday shopping day will be June 2nd, 2013. As a note, anyone can rent a table in the flea market for €5, so it’s a good opportunity to get rid of extra furniture/toys/bikes/etc.

Here’s hoping that we’ll have lots more beautiful days to come this Spring!

What is it? 

1. A community blog about city cycling and recreational cycling in and around Luxembourg.

2. An all-in-one resource with links to everything to do with cycling in Luxembourg, advice, event calendar of all cycling-related events in the region, plus a series of new events!

Who is it aimed at?

Everyone in Luxembourg – young, old, current cyclists, politicians, residents, non-cyclists, new expats, business owners!

What is the goal? 

To make cycling in Luxembourg attractive and highly visible, and to increase the number of riders of all types, both residents and tourists, adults and children. Create an attitude of openness to cycling. Put more pressure on the government to improve infrastructure. Create a strong community of citizen-cyclists in Luxembourg.
