Limpertsberg is one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Luxembourg City. It is prized for its elegance, residential atmosphere, and proximity to downtown.

The area offers a pleasant, family-friendly living environment that attracts many expatriate executives to Luxembourg.

The neighborhood is also an educational hub, home to several prestigious schools and the former faculty of the University of Luxembourg.

Schools and high schools in the Limpertsberg neighborhood of Luxembourg

Several Luxembourg primary and secondary schools are located in Limpertsberg.

The Luxembourgish Michel Lucius High School and its elementary school will move to the “op der Schleed” site in the Kuebebierg neighborhood of Kirchberg in 2028. The Waldorf School is also set to move to Kirchberg.

For now, the Lycée Technique du Centre has added new extensions, including a sports hall and a new cafeteria designed with environmental sustainability in mind. These facilities will remain operational after the planned move to the new “Midfield” neighborhood in Howald, near the Lycée Vauban.

To reduce traffic in the neighborhood, more than 5,000 elementary, middle, and high school students are to leave the Limpertsberg neighborhood by 2025. The goal is to make Limpertsberg a car-free neighborhood.
