Diekirch Travel Guide

Tourist Guide
Diekirch featuring a river or creek and a small town or village
Nestled in the valley of the River Sûre and flanked by green mountains, the old quarter of this city features heritage architecture and noteworthy museums.

Diekirch is a picturesque historic town centered around the magnificent 15th-century St. Laurentius Church. Stroll through the pedestrianized old quarter of this pretty town to find a selection of beautifully preserved medieval façades and heritage buildings. Spend time at Diekirch’s lively town square and participate in exciting local events. Surrounded by forested mountain ranges and intersected by the meandering River Sûre, Diekirch is an ideal base for hiking, cycling and fishing.

Begin your visit to Diekirch with a leisurely stroll through the historic downtown area to view the St. Laurentius Church. Admire the church’s Gothic-style naves and 16th-century frescoes and try to identify the pre-Romanesque foundations.

Visit some of the town’s intriguing museums, including the National Museum of Military History. The dioramas in this museum illustrate the significant events of the Battle of the Bulge in 1944. Visit the beautiful art nouveau building that contains the National Museum for Historical Vehicles and a museum for the renowned Diekirch Brewery. After learning about the town’s ales, sample some at a local tavern.

Head to the town square, where you might catch local events and festivals. Free concerts are held here in summer, along with community games and performances of local folklore. Spot the fountain topped by a bronze statue of a donkey, which is the town’s mascot.

Stroll along the banks of the River Sûre or venture into the surrounding mountains for excellent hiking and mountain biking trails. Go kayaking or try fishing on the river.

Diekirch is located in northeastern Luxembourg. Fly into Luxembourg Airport, about a 30-minute drive away. Reach Diekirch Railway Station within an hour from Luxembourg City by train. Visit in the warmer months to join in the town’s fun-filled summer festivities or in winter for snowy strolls through the forest. Stay in modern hotels or heritage lodgings. Diekirch is a compact and visually stunning town. Plan a walking tour and explore the town at your own pace.
