Krautmaart
Krautmaart is a narrow, winding alley located within the Ville Haute, the old town district of Luxembourg City. It serves as a pedestrian passage just east of Place Guillaume II, providing a quiet route for those walking through the historic center.
Getting There
The alley is located directly in the city centre. Since it is situated in the heart of the old town, it is accessible on foot from most central hotels and landmarks. Walking from the main squares of the Ville Haute takes only a few minutes.
Duration of Visit
Because this is a short pedestrian passage rather than a large complex, visitors typically spend 10 to 20 minutes walking through the alley and observing the surrounding architecture.
When to Visit
The alley is open to pedestrians throughout the year. Visiting during the morning or late afternoon avoids the peak midday foot traffic common in the old town. Like most central pedestrian zones in Luxembourg City, it can become crowded during weekends and public holidays.
Nearby Attractions
Due to its central location, this spot can be combined with several other sites within a short walking distance:
- Emaischen and the Grand Ducal Palace (0km)
- Luxembourg City History Museum (0.1km)
- Hôtel de Bourgogne (0.1km)
