Introducing Diekirch

If you’re only here for the beer – sorry! Diekirch brewery, one of the Grand Duchy’s main brewers, located opposite the train station, doesn’t open to visiting beer buffs. So down your disappointment with a red label at any local café and contemplate what next – for a town this size, plenty is on offer. Diekirch boasts the country’s best wartime museum and it’s also great for renting a bike or canoe.

The tourist office (80 30 23; www.diekirch.lu; 3 Place de la Libération; 9am-noon & 2-5pm Mon-Fri, 2-4pm Sat Sep-Jun, 9am-5pm Mon-Fri, 10am-4pm Sat & Sun Jul-Aug) is a 10-minute walk from the train station, at the town’s pedestrian core.
