The best apps to discover Luxembourg

Find out more about the capital...

Luxembourg City is a beauty to behold but it can be a bewildering maze for those who are unfamiliar with its charms! But there's no need to panic, you'll never get lost with the cityapp (iOS version ; Android version) of the City of Luxembourg. This app will provide you with everything you need to know about the capital and it's just a click away. We recommend that visitors just use the 'Welcome', 'Explorer' and 'Mobility' sections. The other functions are essentially for residents only.

The new version of the app is available in three languages (French, German and English). You have the option of customising the screen by adding shortcuts and you can also take advantage of the other features: check the weather, view the event agenda and look up all the bus routes and stops. The app also provides real-time information on bus schedules. 

... on your bike!

One of the best ways to explore the city is on a bicycle. Download the Véloh (iOS version ; Android version) app and you'll get access to the self-service bicycle rental service. This app will give you access to 1,000 bikes and 97 docking stations across the city. To find an electric bike, all you need to do is to locate a docking station. The app will take care of your request in the blink of an eye. When you locate a bike, just unlock it, jump on the saddle and explore the city in complete freedom.

The app offers flexible packages, from one day to one year. The first thirty minutes of each journey are free. Have a nice trip!

Augmented-reality tours

If you are a fan of new technologies and want to experience the city's historical heritage and tourist attractions, then the VDL-AR (iOS version ; Android version) app is made just for you! It allows you to delve into the virtual world of the history of the City of Luxembourg using augmented-reality technology: a tourist trail with seven points of interest is at your fingertips! Just go to one of these hotpots and you'll be drawn into the Grand Duchy of yesteryear.

If you want to further explore the realms of virtual reality, then we recommend that you download the Vakanz doheem  app (iOS version ; Android version), which allows you to discover the charms of Luxembourg in a new light. A virtual portal and a 360-degree world will project you to the different regions of the country before you have the chance to visit them!

In the museum, exciting and entertaining audio tours reveal 1,000 years of urban history. Navigational markers help you find your way around intuitively and effortlessly.

A supplementary Discover Mode offers more in-depth content with photos, videos and maps for selected stations and objects. A special Kids Quiz makes the journey of discovery more enjoyable and instructive for younger visitors.

The Mudam (iOS version) Luxembourg smartphone app is the essential guide in your pocket. It showcases the themed exhibitions and the museum's collection. In the app menu, there's also an architectural presentation about the landmark building designed by Ieoh Ming Pei. Let yourself be guided through the collections and the virtual corridors of this stylish building and its elegant decor.

This is why these institutions have been awarded the EurWelcome label.
