Luxembourg is a tiny country that doesn’t always appear on travel bucket lists. But the land of Luxembourg is arguably the most important in Europe on a square foot basis. It’s no surprise then that an increasing number of European travelers are visiting thai country, many of which are now crossing its borders using long-distance coaches.
There is only 1 airport in Luxembourg and it’s not exactly overflowing with train stations either. But you can get everywhere you need to go by road, and the country actually has some of the highest rates of car ownership on a per capita basis. As a result, you can easily find a bus into and out of Luxembourg—perfect for traveling to the many countries that border the country.
If you’re heading into Luxembourg on a bus or taking a trip elsewhere, book with Omio. You can secure cheap bus tickets in Luxembourg by comparing prices from many different providers and choosing the most suitable options.
Luxembourg is the seat of several European Union (EU) institutions. Luxembourg City, the capital, is also one of the union’s institutional seats, along with Frankfurt, Strasburg, and Brussels. As a result, it usually attracts a lot of business travelers, as well as tourists who flock here to see the medieval architecture.
But that’s not the only thing that makes Luxembourgers unique. It is also the only country in the world to offer free public transport. We’re not just talking about the odd tram system, either. If you are taking a train, tram, or bus in Luxembourg—one that begins and ends in the country—it will be completely free. You don’t even need any Luxembourg bus tickets.
You will, of course, need to purchase bus tickets if you are taking an intercity coach out of the country or you’re entering Luxembourg from a bus route that began in another country. That’s where we come in, as you can book external Luxembourg bus tickets directly through Omio. The booking process is fast and simple, and as you can compare prices from many different bus companies and routes, you’ll always get a great deal.

As noted above, the main bus networks in Luxembourg are known as AVL, TICE, and RGTR, and they are all part of the free public transport system. But there are also many other countries offering bus services into Luxembourg, including continental-wide companies and ones that are based in neighboring nations.
FlixBus is probably the biggest of these. It’s a massive company that runs thousands of routes all over the world, including major intercity bus routes and night bus routes. If you’re searching for cheap bus tickets into Luxembourg from another European country, there’s a good chance this provider will pop up.
FlixBus has very affordable routes and runs a network of modern buses fitted with all of the amenities that you need for a long trip, including luggage storage, power outlets, Wi-Fi, comfortable seats, lots of legroom, and onboard toilets.
BlaBlaCar Bus is another provider that can take you by bus into Luxembourg. It also covers many routes and uses modern buses. As with Flixbus, these buses also have plenty of space for luggage, onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, and power sockets.
Most long-distance buses are also air-conditioned.
The providers above cover many buses to Luxembourg, getting you to this small but affluent nation from countries like France, Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands. You can also arrive at a Luxembourg bus station from cities in Portugal. It’s a long trek, but it’s an important one, as many Luxembourgers hail from Portugal and still have family there.

If you’re starting your journey at a Luxembourg bus station, you can travel to towns and cities in all neighboring nations, as well as some destinations further afield. Popular routes on Luxembourg buses include:
Book bus tickets on all of these Luxembourg buses and more using Omio.
Some of the routes mentioned above require you to stay onboard for upwards of 10 hours. One of them spans the entire day. That’s a long time to sit in a bus seat staring out of a window, right? Well, yes, but bus services like Flixbus know this, so most of their long-distance services are available as night buses.
In many cases, you will board these buses in the evening, giving you time to settle down—watch a film, read a book, get acquainted with your surroundings—before night dawns and you go to sleep. The bus will continue traveling throughout the night so that when you wake, you’ll be in your destination.
Night buses provide the same creature comforts as intercity buses, but during the evening, the lights turn off, the seats recline, and you sleep.
The term “night bus” also has another meaning in Luxembourg. Every night, the regular bus network stops and a night bus network takes over. These buses are the same as the ones that run during the day, but they accommodate night-time passengers and run from 9:30 pm until 3:30 am. You may hear the Flixbus night bus service referred to as “overnight buses” to avoid confusion.
Whether you’re taking a bus to Luxembourg via a provider like Flixbus or navigating around the country using free Luxembourg buses, keep the following travel tips in mind to ensure you have a smooth journey:

Bus services have exploded in popularity over the last few years and Europe has been at the heart of that growth. After all, this is where Flixbus got its start, a company that has since expanded to the United States by purchasing Greyhound and taking over an iconic brand and its equally iconic routes. Flixbus has been part of a revolution that has seen intercity bus routes and night bus routes spring up across the length and breadth of the continent. We also like to think that we’ve played a big role in that, as a growing number of passengers are using Omio to book bus tickets through companies like Flixbus, as well as the hundreds of other travel companies that we have partnered with.
