Palais Grand-Ducal

A unique look inside Luxembourg’s royal residence. Worth it all the way! The Grand Ducal Palace is open to the public only during the summer months (usually mid-July to early September). Tickets are 18€ in 2025 and should be booked about a week in advance through the website of the Luxembourg City Tourist Office, as spots sell out really quickly. Also be aware that airport-like security checks are in place when entering the building, so go light. Guided tours last about 75 min out of which 45 min inside the Palace. You’ll visit official state rooms, ceremonial halls, and learn about the history of the monarchy and the building’s architecture. Photography inside is not allowed unless on private tour/invitation, so enjoy the marvelous things during the tour.

The official residence of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, the palace is not generally open to the palace.The building looks Neo-Renaissance and is surprisingly close to William Square and almost intimately close to the street. Just outside the front entrance are the palace guards. Not if guards march up and down the entrance regularly, but they spent a good 10 minutes marching up and down when I was there about mid afternoon. A nice landmark building in the city.

The Grand Ducal Palace in Luxembourg City is the official residence of the Grand Duke and serves as the center of the country's constitutional monarchy. Located in the heart of the old town, the palace is a stunning example of Renaissance architecture with its elegant façade and ornate details.

The presence of ceremonial guards outside adds to its stately ambiance.

The must visit place in Luxembourg city. Can see the Kind and Queen from 5 meter distance. Very old palace. Try the food just in-front of the palace gate too.

After you pass William Square you can find the Grand Ducal Palace. The palace was built in 1572 it has been the residence of the Grand Duke since 1890.

Worth to watch.

The Palace of Grand Duke is a must-see place in Luxembourg. Even though 200 years ago it used to be just a city hall building, duke Adolphe changed it into a real palace.
