A
Café des Artistes
Nostalgic little Grund café that's been around since 1968 and has candles to prove it. Brel and Piaf watch from old posters, and the ceiling's about as smoke stained as they come. The café's pride and joy is an old piano that bursts into life with folk tunes when the mood's right (usually Wednesday to Saturday).

d:qliq
Intimate new bar that's brought life to the Old Town's live music scene. The three floors offer different venues: a cellar bar for experimental acts; free jazz concerts at ground zero; and international bands on the 1st floor (this zone is affectionately known as 'the wardrobe' due to its size - 120 people max). Hip and lesser-known bands from abroad - either jazz, rock, electro or house - are the staples.

Philharmonie Luxembourg Grande-Duchesse Joséphine-Charlotte
The Philharmonie is Luxembourg's new concert venue, a stunning oval job that offers jazz, classical and opera, and that has imbued life into boring Kirchberg. The glass building is immediately obvious on the right once across the Red Bridge. Take bus 125 or 192 from Gare Centrale or Place Hamilius to the stop 'Fort Belaimont'.

Cinémathèque Municipal
Closest thing in Luxembourg to an art-house cinema and cheap to boot. Golden oldies and cult classics line up two or three times daily - the cinema carries 10,000 titles. Also does open-air screenings in July and August in the courtyard of nearby Théâtre des Capucins - great atmosphere.

Utopolis
Ten-screen multiplex with a solid Hollywood line-up. Midnight screenings on Saturday and Sneak Previews (newly released surprise film) on Thursday. Take bus 18 from Gare Centrale (quay No 3; 23 minutes) or Place Hamilius (quay No 1; 20 minutes).

Den Atelier
The city's main venue for local and visiting groups, located about 500m west of Gare Centrale in Hollerich, an off-the-beaten-track nightlife area. The Luxembourg City Tourist Office sells tickets for some performances and will know what's on.

Grand Théâtre de la Ville de Luxembourg
Until nudged out of first place by the Philharmonie, this was the nation's premier performing arts complex. It still offers state-of-the-art facilities and an impressive line-up of international dance, opera and theatre.

White
Ever seen one of those insect zappers that uses a blue-fluoro light to lure night-time nasties to a sizzling finalé? Well White's the human equivalent, only here the colour is green.

I
VIP Room
A newie in the restaurant-lounge-club genre. This one has sister establishments all round France, and manages to catch visiting international celebs on camera when passing through.

J
L'Interview
Raw café close to Place Hamilius and a great place to simply hang with a drink. In summer the big windows are opened to the street and the atmosphere hums.

Écosse
A Scottish pub-brasserie in Clausen, with nonexistent décor and a cherished riverside terrace. Take bus 9 or night bus CN1 from Gare Centrale or Place Hamilius.

Mélusina
Restaurant/club in Clausen and one of the city's most popular dance spots. Big on house and even entices guest DJs.

Deep Bar
Still in the Old Town, but this time deep and dark. The type of place you end up when all else is closed.

Urban Bar
Unashamedly hip address in the Old Town that draws a cosmopolitan crowd (lots of English spoken).
