This year, Luxembourg City will host the 679th edition of the annual Schueberfouer on the Glacis. From 23 August to 11 September, the event still attracts thousands to our country’s capital, both old and new faces.
In less than a week, the biggest funfair in the Greater Region will open, with 250 stands and other attractions on offer to visitors.

In order to ensure an easy journey between people’s homes and the Glacis, the Luxembourg Transport Community has set up a special program with shuttles and buses travelling special routes and at new times.
