This is a longer Luxembourg run, focused on the more modern Kirchberg district but also incorporating some other Luxembourg highlights, including the Grund and Clausen. The loop starts and ends in the Kirchberg district, famous for its modern futuristic architecture and location of several European government institutions. Start at the National Sport Centre D’Coque. You’ll do 3km tour around the Kirchberg district and the paths of the several area universities and institutes. Head southwest along the fairly residential Rue des Muguets and Rue Jules Wilhem into the Grund quarter before heading back up to the pedestrian zone in the city centre, using Blvd. Roosevelt and then Rue Phillippe II through the old quarter. The route then takes you over the Grande-Duchesse Charlotte Bridge (also called The Red Bridge) to re-join Kirchberg along fairly busy Avenue John Kennedy and then through the Parc des Trois Grands park paths and Rue du Fort Thüengen. Look out for the impressive Philarmonie concert hall and the Mudam modern art museum buildings in the park.
Note: Can also start in city and run out to Kirchberg.

D’Coque National Sport Centre in Kirchberg. Can also start in city and run out to Kirchberg
A 10k 'runseeing' tour of Luxembourg. Highlights include paths along the Petrusse and the Alzette rivers, Upper Town, the pedestrian quarter of the Old City, and trendy Clausen district.
This iconic route will take you through the oldest quarters of Luxembourg City, following parts of the way-marked Wenzel Circular Walk circuit. Also sections along the Chemin de la Corniche and Rham Plateau.
A short route featuring two small but lovely parks for running: Parc Municipal and Parc Merl-Belair. The city park has a London feel to it with spacious lawns and paths, while Merl-Belair, less than 1 km away has nice, landscaped grounds.
The Petrusse valley parks are a bit of a hidden gem in the middle of the city. Coming off the Adolphe Bridge, highlights include the St. Quirinus Chapel built straight into the rock, impressive fortification ruins, and some strange rock formations.
Some great trail running only 5km away from the city. Network of forest trails used by hikers, runners and cyclists, but not too crowded. We've mapped a 7km ‘perimeter’ loop, but there are several other marked loops and interior paths.
A flat route along a quiet way-marked bike path in the countryside. Run by cattle fields and admire beautiful views of the forest either side of the valley. Numerous options for a one-way run and then train it back to the city!
A runnable forest trail in the 'little Switzerland' part of Luxembourg, about 30 km east of the city. A well-known trail, "Route 2" goes for up to 37 km, through several towns, with viewpoints and interesting rock formations.
