And the cherry on top: they're open ALL year round (except December 25th and January 1st)! It's time to discover a fascinating underground network, rich in history, secrets, and unusual anecdotes.

The Casemates du Bock is your ticket to exploring miles of secret tunnels and galleries. Discover the dungeon of the former Luxembourg Palace, a 47-meter-deep well (Mélusine could be hiding down there, who knows?) and cross the magnificent arches of the Pont du Château to admire the incredible panorama of the lower town. A true immersion in military history and panoramas that will leave you speechless.

The Casemates de la Pétrusse: an incredible network of stone-carved galleries, designed at the time by Marshal Vauban. More modern and innovative, they also offer a fascinating immersion experience. Thanks to light installations and interactive displays, history comes to life before your eyes, making the visit even more engaging and fun.

Fun fact: Did you know that the city's fortifications have had many unusual uses? Starting with a mushroom growing area (yes, you read that right), a champagne cellar, a headquarters for a shooting society, a concert and theater venue (on the Pétrusse side)... and both even sheltered up to 35,000 people during the raids of the First World War!

An ideal outing for families or friends, sheltered from the elements!

Bouuuuh, it's cold, it's raining, it's all griiiiiis, oh no I'm hot! No matter the weather, we always have something to say! And overall, we say that if you come for a ride in this category, it's because you want to find a great indoor activity. Are we wrong? Today, we invite you to visit Villa Vauban!

This very beautiful and small art museum located in an old villa in the central park of Luxembourg offers a multitude of activities. Permanent, thematic exhibitions as well as special visits for the whole family. That's right, there are as many activities for children as there are for Grandma during her special senior visits. For us, what we love are the activities during summer evenings in the open air or their famous event “The Night of the Museums”. It is true that the site is even more beautiful and exciting at night. It's really worth the detour !

We even advise you to make your visits with a guide to better appreciate the works all very well highlighted. For lovers of modern and conventional art, it really is a safe bet. The gardens outside are amazing and perhaps worth a visit on their own. If you want to find their latest exhibitions & events, go to Supermiro...

If you're looking for a basic pool, keep moving. Here, it’s XL, turbo, and a splash-worthy love affair.

The Centre Aquatique de la Coque is the Mecca of the crawl, the Olympus of swimmers, the HQ of champions.

- A 50m Olympic pool, adaptable depending on the schedule,
- A 25m beginner pool for those who prefer calm waters (but be warned, it's sometimes taken over by schools),
- A “sports and wellness” area for the well-being aficionados...
- Don’t forget the diving tower (1m, 3m, 5m, 7.5m, 10m) for those brave enough to conquer the void,
- And the 15m diving pit for the pros.
- Plus, a splash pool for the little fish.

And because a dolphin body is also built on dry land, the integrated fitness room awaits, with top-of-the-line machines and a well-earned sweat session.

In the summer, you can chill and sunbathe outside.
In winter, it’s cocoon mode in the pools. You swim, you push yourself, you breathe. It’s more than just an aquatic centre: it’s a temple of movement.

Now, put away your swim cap. Or put it on. But above all, come.
And if you need to unwind, there’s also a Spa area to relax.
