You said 'you only need 1-2 days to visit the entire country as everything is a couple of blocks away'. This is not correct, as you are clearly speaking about the capital city Luxembourg City and not the country. Don't think Luxembourg is similar to for example Monaco. The country itself has much more to offer than what you showed in this video. It has beautiful castles, forests, lakes, ... even a part called 'La Petite Suisse' (Little Switzerland). It's very beautiful and nice for hiking & mountainbiking. Just wanted to set that clear :-)

As a Luxembourgish person I have to say that you have some interesting things to say about Luxembourg, but also quiet a few things wrong, especially about the population as we have around 630000 inhabitants and there are around 230000 people from neighboring countries crossing the border to work, so during working hours the population goes up to over 860000. Plus, you said that a day is enough to see everything of the country, which is completely wrong as there is much to see throughout the countryside. Lastly, even though Luxembourg is a rather rich county the risk of poverty is still 21,5%, which while still under EU average is still pretty high. But generally pretty good video. :)

Agree, in a country where 1 of every third worker is from another country GDP per capita no longer is a useful measure for how well the country is doing economically. The number is completely inflated by the migrant workers that dont count towards the capita portion of the metric

As a Luxembourgish resident I'm quite disappointed with this video. Your sources aren't quite correct. Luxembourg's population is not 500 000!!!! Also our country is much bigger than just Luxembourg city. There's a lot to be seen. You could easily need a whole week to visit the most beautiful places in Luxembourg and not just 1 day. As far as for hotels, yes it will be expensive if you book it last minute (like anywhere else). You can get a 5* hotel for less than 200€.

[@klaudiam8735]

I agree. It seems like this video was meant to be educational, but while watching I found a lot of things to complain about or misinformation. It's still sad that so many people decide to only visit Luxembourg city when there are so many things our country has to offer: Müllerthal, the different castles (Burg Burscheid, Vianden Castle, ...), The whole Moselle region (it also probably has the best Luxembourgish specialties), Ettelbruck, the Minet, etc + The BigMac price is absolutely wrong.

Not to be an arse, just want to point out some things wrong or misunderstood. 1) Transports are free but they're originally meant to combat the vehicle flood. (Isnt working well because the public network isnt on point yet) 2) Luxembourgish is not a dialect. Yes the language uses words from German or French but do not confuse it with either language. 3) Do NOT eat fast food in Luxembourg. It's expensive and most of the times you get some real food for similar prices. 4) Try to find hotels outside of the capital since the public network to and from the capital are well established. 5) Luxembourg city is not the whole country. There's Vianden for its castle, The Giele Botter marching trecks etc which are all outside of the capital.

As a Luxembourger I had to laugh quite a few times :D - Tête de veau? never ate it or even seen it on a menu ^^ - you said the naughty "Tax haven" word , and to be clear that's not the source of the "wealth" because most big multinationals pay barely any money in form of taxes, however, like amazon they employ a lot of people which than leads to income tax. The average Luxembourgish person is by no means rich. And the wealth which is displayed in the city is rarely from locals. Actually an increasing amount of people cant afford living here. Housing prices doubled within 5y. Due to the same reasons than everywhere but also because European institutions provide housing and drive the prices, building permits are hard to get and labour is expensive. -Luxembourg has indeed a lot cross border workers (which are not expats) but it's not 50%, The population living in Lux consists of 50% of people not holding the Luxemburgish nationality. Luxembourg has actually almost 600000 People living here and a job market which is even bigger (I guess +/- 150000 cross border workers). Luxembourg City has with its outskirts 115000 inhabitants. -Very Expensive cars indeed, but often leased because you can deduct them from company expanses. So entrepreneurs tend to spoil themselves sometimes. -The hotel which you got is in the city and top notch central, if you go out of the center into the country of Luxembourg (you visited the city only) you get Hotel rooms around 80€ -Luxembourg is not only Luxembourg City and walking would take more than a few minutes ;)

I agree with ALMOST all of this comment - the only exception being the fact that, frankly, the tax haven status of Luxembourg *is* the source of it’s “wealth” (never mind the fact that it is kinda hilarious to refer to that inflated GDP metric as “wealth” but that’s an argument for another day). Those companies may not pay much of any corporate taxes - that’s kinda the point of a tax haven, after all - but let’s be totally clear here: without those insanely generous tax benefits, it’d be a very tough sell to convince the vast majority of those companies like Amazon to set up shop and hire lots of people at high wages in Luxembourg in the first place. The only reason those jobs (and their accompanying income taxes) exist in Luxembourg is the fact that it’s effectively a corporate tax haven. Lots of people around Europe consider Luxembourg to be a parasite state, and with pretty good reason; that didn’t just happen because more than 10% of the continent woke up one morning and randomly decided to pick on the country. The revelations in the ICIJ’s Lux Leaks 1 and 2 have pretty clearly demonstrated the cost of its corporate tax scheme on other European countries. I also think the fact that some Luxembourgers had the concerns outlined in the following excerpt from the linked article demonstrates that at least some Luxembourgers are acutely aware of their country’s fiscal survival strategy - and its potentially irritating effects for other European governments that are being bled dry by it: “Some Luxembourgers warned for years that the country had relied too much on the financial sector. Big countries will tolerate this, they say, till the money in Europe dries up and irritation bubbles over.” The only reason the “irritation” hasn’t “bubbled over” is precisely the fact that Luxembourg is a tiny country so potential tax losses for bigger EU countries don’t really happen at large enough scale for them to care too much about it. But if Luxembourg had the population of Italy or Spain and tried to get away with that same tax haven strategy at that scale, that would’ve been a serious problem, and the reactions to it would’ve been immediate and very, Very different. carnegieeurope.eu/2016/01/26/luxembourg-europe-s-bellwether-pub-62578

[@laurentweisgerber3846]

@@Antonio-wh3oq Well yes Luxembourg is an irritant to some bigger Companies but for sure not only because of the Luxleaks revelations. In the pre 200s and early 200s that was for sure the strategy. However The Netherlands and Ireland, to name two are not pursuing any different strategy. Since than though things changed. Think of ot as a free Membership for the first two years. Now Luxembourg has attracted so many companys in Finance, Insurance and Fund that it is well established. the regulators are close by, easily accessible and regulations and Directifs from the EU are rarely changed but just passed on and that immediately put into place. This is attractive to many players and coupled with a competitive taxing a good reason to stay. If you look at actual taxhavens like the British Channel Islands or Taxas, Cayman and so on thats a whole different story. And you have to see it from an other angle. What could Luxembourg have if not the Finance, Fund and Tech Industry? There is no Space for agriculture nor resources for heavy industry. Water and Energy are just due to the size of the country fairly Limited. Same for the workforce. There would be no Luxembourg anymore if they hadn't found ther Niche.

As a person who was born and raised in Luxembourg i just wanna put out a disclaimer. There are lots of jobs in Luxembourg and it is fairly easy to get a job PROVIDED that you speak English (international companies) and/or most of the national languages (luxembourgish, german, french) AND that you have at least a Bachelors degree. Ive seen too many people come to luxembourg bc someone told them how nice it is and moving here just to live through hell on earth. Accomodation might be the biggest misery bc most places now dont even rent you a place anymore if you are not in an fixed indetermined work contract (cdi). If you only have a contract for like a year or 2 (cdd) most people will not rent you their place. Thus creating lots of black work and unethical contracts and living situations. Also if this wasnt enough to show you a little more about what reality is really like in Luxembourg: the stat that shows how rich we are is actually NOT a true representation of reality. Lots of companies headquarters are moving to luxembourg and their big bosses along high jacking our stats. And the eu parliament and court that are situated in luxembourg have a special agreement that exempt their workers from lots of taxes which creates a huge difference between their salaries and those of any other person working in Luxembourg. Of course not all is bad, the fact that a lot of things are becoming free in luxembourg (public transport, school books, daycare for children etc) is bc politics noticed that it is getting harder to live in luxembourg and that a lot of people are being forced to move to the borders bc property in luxembourg is just unaffordable. Take some bills of their shoulders allows them to invest back into luxembourg again

So Luxembourgish teen here, we are at about 670.000 people in the country right now with an additional 220.000 cross-border workers. So we're quite a bit more than 500.000 people. Also you might want to add that, about half the population immigrated. It's extremely diverse. One big thing is that you mixed up the country's name with the name of it's capital, both of them being Luxembourg. There is a whole lot more to see, the East is known for it's wine, the South for the steel industry which made the country rich, and the North is very rural with a lot of forrests and lakes. The biggest negativ point is the housing crisis we're facing, there is not a house under a million euro sold these days. 20 years ago it was 1/3 of that price.

Grand Duc Henri doesn't really reside in the palace in Luxembourg City. He lives further north in Colmar-Berg at the Berg Castle. And you definitely need more than a day to visit all of luxembourg. Yes you can drive across it and pretty much anywhere within a day, but to visit everything properly and actually explore everything, you need a bit more than a day . And luxembourgish is definitely NOT A DIALECT! It's a language. Like french in france or german in germany, luxembourgish is actually a language!

[@afonsoferreira2652]

I live in luxembourg and you can do A LOT of things with 100dolars in luxembourg. eating in a REAL restaurant with entrance main plate and a beer can cost you as little as 15euros, u can get 5 15cl beers for about 10euros, a great cappuccino for 2,70euros, u can buy books and other normal stuff at normal price, u can go to the swimming pool for 3euros for 2 hours (gym included) etc etc etc. on a more expensive restaurant you can excepect to pay 30euros including everything (in fact I have been to bruxelles very reacently and it is WAY WAY more expensive than luxembourg)

You guy should have visited vianden.. and vianden castle.. most beautifull and historic place i’ve been.. i go there every year

[@lenaloschetter8977]

The thing is, you only asked people that aren't inherently Luxembourgish or were born in Luxembourg about what it is like to live there, and I think it makes a big difference if people lived there all their lives compared to people living here since september. Also, in the eyes of people that aren't really familiar with our culture, it's easy to get things wrong. We aren't all rich btw. For me, it really hurts when I see my country being portrayed as a place where everybody is wealthy, when a lot of people are struggling with finding affordable housing for example. Only people with high ranking jobs from the firms that set up shop here are mostly the wealthy ones, too. People with jobs that aren't in the business sector are not paid as much. Plus, it's hard to get a loan for housing, too, so don't get your hopes up if you're young and want to move out of your parent's home because you probably can't afford anything decent to live on your own. Especially if you're starting your career. It's just saddening that a lot of people don't talk about the financial struggles a lot of us in the country are going through and depicting our country as if everybody was living in richness. The cost of living simply outweighs the 'high' paychecks. You always have to think twice as a young adult if you want to go out to eat with friends because chances are the bill is gonna cost you at leat 45 Euros... PLus the people that come here in hopes of earning a lot of money are mostly very disappointed when they find out that it's not gonna happen for everyone. If this is not the reason for them to leave, they will eventually when they think that it is too 'boring' here. I am gonna end my rant here, but yeah, I had to get it off of my chest.

"Everything is just a couple blocks away"... Not quite. That's just our capital, Luxembourg city. The country is a bit bigger and there's a bunch of other towns you can reach by car (or public transport). If you drive about 50 minutes North of Lux city you reach the Belgian border there, and it's about 15-20 minutes South to get to France. Towns like Echternach and Vianden are worth a visit too among others. As for our population: It's about 630000 within the country (120000 of those in Luxembourg city), and swells up to over 900000 during workdays with all the commuters from the surrounding nations. I doubt 25% of us are millionaires. We do have a high standard of living (visible in the amount and types of cars on the road) and certainly some very wealthy people too but a lot of the GDP is actually generated by all these companies funneling their money through the country for the tax benefits and not by people earning that much. You got the languages right though: Apart from our mother tongue Luxembourgish, we start learning German and French immediately in primary school, and English usually follows in secondary school.
