Official travel advisory
1 Exercise Normal Precautions
The U.S. State Department places Luxembourg at Level 1 — Exercise Normal Precautions. Our live index reads 96.8/100. That advisory was last revised Apr 8, 2026, 146 days ago; the index above is recomputed continuously from current reporting.
Luxembourg is generally safe for visitors, though opportunistic theft such as purse snatching and pickpocketing occurs around places that draw tourists. The northern and eastern regions carry a separate hazard: ordnance left from both world wars, concentrated where the Battle of the Bulge was fought in 1944-45. Such munitions lie unmarked, usually on farmland or rural construction sites. Luxembourg's Explosive Ordnance Teams locate, remove and detonate them, with effort peaking at planting and harvest; hunting war relics with metal detectors is dangerous and prohibited.
