  Keep in mind, since this video was filmed (2019 I believe), public transport has become entirely free in Luxembourg ! There's busses to basically any tiny village in the country, so do get the chance to use the system !

  Been living here for 15 years. The service isn't bad at all. It's actually great. What you don't find is fake smiles, excessive pleasantries, waitresses pretending they adore you etc.

  As a person that lives in this country i just wanted to add, that a Week-End ist enoigh time to get to know the City but not Luxembourg itself. We have a lot of beautiful places all around the country :) sad but true if you want too see the real Luxembourg it is advisable to ask Luxembourgers to show you the Country

  Just a note when it comes to the service:<br>Of course some places are just not friendly, which happens everywhere, but as a whole they are friendly but not pushy. People in Luxembourg tend to prefer to be left alone when shopping or having a dinner, so the input of waiting staff or shopkeepers is kept to a bare minimum as a way of not being annoying. It&apos;s just a different culture and what locals tend to prefer. <br>We don&apos;t enjoy rude people though, so you don&apos;t need to accept that sort of treatment either.

  Coming from luxembourg ( yeah a real luxembourgish guy :P), i have to say that our service in shops and restaurants isn&apos;t rude. It&apos;s just that we dont have the fake smiles, pleasanteries and waitresses who fake that they adore you because in our country they are not dependent on the tips like in the usa... <br>For me, shops in france are way more rude<br>Rest of the video is pretty acurate<br>Also to mention, we have real national dishes but you have to know where to get them as most of the restaurants dont serve them as they are focused on another type ... Italian, chinese, japanese, ... Often some luxembourgish national dishes are served in restaurants with french cuisine or italian cuisine and you have to look them up on the menu cause they are hidden and you have to know it is a luxembourgish dish (as you could think it would be a french dish)

  You don’t need any kind of card to use the public transport system in Luxembourg. The public transportation (bus, train, tram) is free for everybody!

  You will hear Luxembourgish spoken A LOT. I guess you&apos;re talking about Luxembourg City. If you venture outside the city, you will hear Luxembourgish.

  Hard to meet luxembourgish people in the city because most simply can’t afford living there anymore

  Not being a Luxembourgish guy, I have been living here since 1998 and had some time to adapt but what is said in the video (even short) is true. Don&apos;t forget the great history of this country, it&apos;s social, economical and financial stability. It&apos;s the 2nd largest fundindustry in the world. Overall a secure place to live in I must agree. Come and visit us you will enjoy. Greatings from Luxembourg.

  I have visited Luxembourg in April 2021, it is one of the most beautiful places i visited. I was so surprised with the beauty of this country. I will definitely visit it again, to enjoy the city without the covid restrictions . Greetings from Cyprus
