Staying safe

- •Luxembourg City: In Luxembourg City, crime tends to concentrate at nighttime around the central railway station (Quartier Gare), and in Bonnevoie.

- •Minette: The urban areas of the Minette region have a reputation for being sketchier at night. Follow usual precautions around railway stations.
