Overview

What makes this tour unique is its focus on the true origin of Luxembourg’s wealth — not banks or castles, but iron, steel, and human grit ⚒️. You explore authentic industrial landmarks where miners worked underground and blast furnaces once powered Europe’s steel age. From climbing the towering furnaces of Belval to visiting the miners’ monument in Kayl or descending into real iron mines in Rumelange on Sundays, the story unfolds step by step. The journey continues to Luxembourg City, linking industry and power through the historic ARBED headquarters. It ends in scenic Grund, where the modern ArcelorMittal steel monument stands by the waterfall — past and present in one view ✨. This is the only tour that connects Luxembourg’s raw industrial roots with its modern prosperity in one immersive experience.

‼️IMPORTANT 1: Mines are open ONLY on Sundays, please plan accordingly.
‼️IMPORTANT 2: Musée de la Sidérurgie is open ONLY on Tuesdays and Saturdays, please plan accordingly.
