Tramway and funicular

Gone for over 50 years in Luxembourg, the tramway made its reappearance in the Luxembourg capital at the end of 2017.

The tramway's entry into service has brought many changes to public transport services in Luxembourg City. With the extension of the line and its future offshoots, the tramway continues to revolutionize transport in and around Luxembourg's capital. 

Like all public transport in Luxembourg, the tramway is free to use.
