Luxembourg City — home to EU institutions, banks, and funds — lies around 230 km west of Frankfurt Airport. For many business travellers, FRA is the most practical hub for Luxembourg. Here are the options.
Private Transfer: Just Over 2 Hours, Door to Door
Via the A3, A6, and A64 (through Trier) or the A60, a private transfer takes around 2 hours 10 minutes to 2 hours 40 minutes. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall and takes you straight to the banking district, the Kirchberg plateau, or any other address in the Grand Duchy — full details on the Frankfurt Airport to Luxembourg City transfer page.
- Cost: fixed price from €356
- Border: Luxembourg is in the EU and Schengen and runs no border checks of its own, but Germany has notified temporary checks at all its land borders until 15 March 2027, so carry your passport or ID card; no vignette, no extra fees
- Also possible: Luxembourg Airport (LUX) as the destination, e.g. for separate bookings
Train: Only with Changes
There is no direct connection. By rail you travel via Koblenz and Trier, or via Saarbrücken with a bus for the last leg — realistically about 3 hours 50 minutes to 4.5 hours with one to three changes. Rarely practical for business travellers with appointments. Once you are in Luxembourg, though, buses, trams and trains are free for everyone — public transport there has been free since 29 February 2020, first class excepted.
Long-Distance Bus
Long-distance coaches (e.g. Flixbus) are the budget option; check current times and fares with the operator. Cheap, but tied to fixed departure times and with no comfort guarantee.
Our Recommendation
On this route the private transfer wins clearly: it saves more than an hour on the train, and the fixed price makes it predictable for corporate clients. Many of our Luxembourg customers book the outbound and return together; on request we issue invoices with all the details needed for expense reports.
