For a first date in Luxembourg, try Café des Artistes, Chemin de la Corniche, or Mudam. Weekday evenings are calmer; on Friday and Saturday, book ahead where you can.
A first date in Luxembourg is usually a drink in a café or bar, planned ahead and started on time. Splitting the bill is common, and the old town's walls and valleys make every walk feel special.
Here are ten real places for every budget, from a free walk along the Corniche to a concert at the Philharmonie, plus two unusual ideas at the end.
