Luxembourg City is a very green city with many public gardens and parks. This short flat route features two fairly small but lovely parks for running: the Municipal Park (Parc Municipal) and the Merl-Belair Park (Parc Merl-Belair). The Municipal Park is right in the city centre and it has a London park feel to it with its spacious lawns and gracious paths. On warm summer days, it is a popular place for young people and families to socialize and relax. Start at the entrance across from the Grand Theatre, at Blvd. de la Foire. Run through the park’s paths, passing Villa Vauban (a small art museum), to Allée Marconi and Winston Churchill Place.
To connect to Merl-Belair Park, less than 1 km away, take Blvd. Joseph II and Ave. du Dix Septembre. Just outside the city centre, Merl-Belair features beautiful meadows and ponds. Enjoy the park paths, and then return by retracing your steps. For a treat, enjoy the Boulangerie-Pâtisserie Kremer-Jakoby Sàrl at the western edge of the park.

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.
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.
A longer Luxembourg run, focused on the more modern Kirchberg district but also incorporating some other Luxembourg highlights, including Luxembourg University, the Grund, and Clausen.
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.
