Any time of the year, you can save a penny or two by heading to one of Luxembourg's many nearby (or nearby-ish) outlet centres.

Luxembourg isn't famed for its range of low-price shops, and certainly not outlets. Without even so much as a TK Maxx (oh, how we miss it - but there's one in Trier) there's good reason to head beyond the border for a day of shopping if you want to save a bit of money.

So, where might one go for some outlet shopping, you ask? Look no further.
