Entertainment, Dining, and
Shopping in Luxembourg... Entertainment
Orchestras and opera companies perform at the Municipal Theater in Luxembourg City. The
smaller Théâtre des Capucins is the forum for dramas and comedies.
The famous Radio-Television Luxembourg Symphony Orchestra performs every other
Thursday.
Luxembourg City hosts its Spring Music Festival from late March through May. During May
and June, the International Music Festival takes place in Echternach. There is an open-air
music and theater festival in Wiltz during July and August.
Food & Drink
Luxembourg's haute cuisine restaurants boast more Michelin stars per capita than
any other country. Trout, crayfish, pike and game dishes are specialties, and in the cafes
and inns you'll find smoked pork with broad beans and Ardennes ham.
The Moselle wines are excellent, as are the local beers.
Shopping
Luxembourg is known for Villeroy & Boch china and ceramics; the factory offers
special prices on regular stock, and also sells slightly flawed items at low prices.
Good buys include designer fashions, perfume, cosmetics, chocolates, gold jewelry,
silverware, semiprecious stones, crystal and liqueurs. Bargains can be found at the flea
markets in Luxembourg City.
