Discover the gardens of Luxembourg this spring

Gardens: often the starting point of stories and fairy tales, they come in all shapes and sizes: pretty and mysterious, lively and quiet, big and small...

Luxembourg has a wide variety of lovely floral and green spaces, perfect for exploring as a family during the 'Rendez-Vous au Jardin 2024'. The event, which celebrates all types of stunning gardens, runs from Friday 31 May until Sunday 2 June 2024. This year’s edition is dedicated to the theme 'the five senses in the garden'.

With a selection of workshops, concerts, visits and other fun events all over the country, we've handpicked the best ones for children.
