Place des Martyrs, Luxembourg
Place des Martyrs
Place des Martyrs is a garden square located in the Gare district of Luxembourg City, situated south of the Pétrusse Valley. Visitors go here primarily to see the extensive plantings of red roses, which have led to the square being referred to as the Rose Garden.
Getting There
The square is located in the southern part of the city. From the city centre, you can reach it via a short trip on public transport or a walk of approximately 20 to 30 minutes, depending on your starting point and pace.
Visit Duration
Because it is a compact garden square, most visitors spend between 30 and 60 minutes walking through the grounds and viewing the floral displays.
When to Visit
The best time to visit is during the blooming season of the roses, typically from late spring through summer, to see the vivid red scenery. Morning or late afternoon visits provide softer light for photography. The area generally remains quiet, though it can see more foot traffic during peak tourist seasons.
Nearby Attractions
The square is positioned close to several other points of interest, making it easy to combine with other stops in the Gare district:
- Am Tunnel (0.1km)
- Memorial to the victims of the Shoah (0.5km)
- Trinity Church (0.5km)
- Casino Luxembourg (0.5km)
