Public transport costs can quickly add up when you’re travelling as a family.
Luckily, there’s one incredibly beautiful country where you won’t have to pay a penny.
Luxembourg is consistently ranked among the world’s wealthiest countries with an average salary of €75,919/£65,752 per year.
Despite its residents’ high salaries, the country’s public transport is completely free to use and even tourists don’t need to pay for travel.
Luxembourg has one of the highest rates of car ownership in the world, with 681 cars to every person registered in 2019.
In a bid to cut carbon emissions and encourage Luxembourgers to ditch their cars for short journeys, the country’s free public transport scheme was introduced in 2020.
Buses, trains and trams are all included for free although passengers do still have to pay for a first class seat.
At weekends, tourists can even hop on the country’s night bus system without needing to pay.

And if you like to cycle, it’s also free to bring your bike on any of the country’s trains.
However, tourists will need to be aware of one catch to the scheme.
As Luxembourg is one of Europe’s smallest countries, many tourists visit it for the day from either Germany, Belgium or France.
If they take public transport into Luxembourg, they will need to pay for the part of their journey on the other side of the border.
However, if you’re purely holidaying in Luxembourg the country’s public transport system is a fantastic wait to cut costs.
Tourists can wander the Chemin de la Corniche for incredible views of Luxembourg City before hopping on the train to explore its wine region or travelling north to ‘Little Switzerland’.
Far less crowded than Switzerland, the Mullerthal Trail passes through sandstone formations and ancient forests.
