The experience

The tour starts with your first tastings and guide introduction at the opening stop, then moves through the heart of Luxembourg's festive markets. You'll pass the Spuerkeess building, a 1909–1913 landmark that once served as headquarters for General Omar Bradley's 12th US Army Group, before crossing the bridge that connects the market zones. The pedestrian square in the middle (surrounded by street cafés and restaurants) is where the bulk of the crowd gathers, and that's where you'll have three more tastings as your guide explains the stories behind each dish and Luxembourg's culinary traditions.

The final stop brings you to the Gëlle Fra monument, a 1923 memorial to Luxembourgers lost in the First World War, where you'll finish with your last tastings. Across all five stops, you'll sample the foods that define the season here: crispy potato fritters, Christmas sausage, Luxembourgish dumplings, and the spongecake that appears on every holiday table. One mulled wine per person is included. Additional drinks are available for purchase at the market stalls. The whole route takes three hours and stays within the pedestrian zone, so you're walking at a steady pace without long waits between stops.
