Reconnect with a Simpler Way of Life
If you’ve never experienced camping in Luxembourg, it can be hard to grasp its unique appeal. For some, the idea of choosing a more basic, less comfortable holiday might seem uninviting at first. Yet, many travellers still opt for this style of vacation every year. If your goal is to truly unwind, an all-inclusive resort might not be the answer. Instead, Luxembourg offers peaceful natural surroundings, a relaxed pace, and a friendly, small-scale atmosphere. With its cultural landmarks, stunning historic buildings—especially the many churches and castles—and charming walking and cycling routes, Luxembourg is a wonderful place to recharge. Echternach, in particular, comes highly recommended. Finding a campsite in Echternach is easy, making it a great base for your adventure.

The Centre of Echternach
The town centre is lively, with cafés, restaurants, and outdoor terraces clustered around the market square. Please note that the centre is a pedestrian zone, so cars are not allowed.
