Quick ride by bicycle from Hesperange to Luxembourg

This ride takes you from Hesperange up to the heart of Luxembourg City—a perfect route if you want a little bit of everything: tranquil cycleways, pretty paved routes, and a bit of a climb to get your legs working.

Starting in Hesperange, a quiet suburb known for its parks and castle ruins, you’ll wind your way north along about 9.7 km of mostly smooth asphalt and cycle paths. About half the ride is on dedicated cycleways, so you can relax and enjoy the scenery, which shifts from peaceful residential corners to the buzz of the city as you approach Luxembourg.

You’ll tackle around 120 meters of ascent, so expect a gentle workout, especially as you draw near Luxembourg City’s old fortifications. Luxembourg itself is famous for its dramatic topography and UNESCO-listed Old Town perched above jungle-like gorges—perfect for a post-ride stroll.

It’s a pleasant ride for anyone looking for an easy escape from suburbia into city life, with just enough elevation to make your coffee at the end all the more rewarding.
