Set on a plateau, this business district of Luxembourg City has lush green parks, museums and a striking display of contemporary architecture. 

Kirchberg is a busy financial area where a dazzling array of glass and steel landmarks stand between green spaces and historic monuments. Once the site of a parish church and for years nothing but empty parkland, Kirchberg got a new lease in life in the 1960s with the arrival of European institutions. Today its attractive cityscape blends centuries-old monuments with modern buildings designed by acclaimed European architects.

Traveling high above the River Alzette, Grand Duchess Charlotte Bridge is a car and pedestrian gateway to the district. It passes over Parc des Trois Glands before merging with Avenida John F. Kennedy, a tree-lined boulevard framed on either side by palaces and towers.

Take a look into the art culture and national history of Luxembourg at museums located inside the 18th-century Fort Thüngen. Retrace events of the country’s 500-year-old past, including a visit to subterranean galleries, at Musée Drai Eechelen. Browse works by world-famous modern artists at MUDAM Luxembourg. Behind the castle are the remains of Fort Obergrünewald.

The old effortlessly turns into the contemporary within a short walk of the forts. Attend an orchestral recital at the Philharmonie Luxembourg concert hall. Admire the glass-fronted European Convention Center Luxembourg and Luxembourg Congrès. Cross the boulevard to see the Alcide de Gasperi Tower and the European Court of Justice.

In the district’s northeastern corner is Luxexpo The Box exhibition center. Come here for everything from antique fairs, concerts and dog shows to car, interior design and tattoo expositions. Adjacent to here is Parc-Klose-Groendchen with walking trails and water features.

It’s easy to reach Kirchberg by taking public buses from Luxembourg City’s Old Town. Buses continue the length of Avenida John F. Kennedy. An alternative option is to walk from Place Guillaume II square via the hilly Pfaffenthal area to the grounds of Fort Obergrünewald.

"Nice hotel, in a very quiet and safe area. Everything is walkable and also parking next door which was convenient. Only downside is staff were unwilling to top up room amenities such as teas, milk and water. Felt rather odd, as most hotels are happy to do this. Being two people in the room, one bottle ..."
