Luxembourg Travel Podcast with Marie Schmit

This podcast is about travelling across one of Western Europe's smaller countries, where the landscape shifts from gentle uplands in the north to steep slopes above the Moselle flood plain. A resident's approach suits Luxembourg: most people live in the south, on the border with France, and the country's size allows repeated visits to the same places. Marie Schmit returns to Luxembourg City, with its 120,000 residents and the old quarters below the fortress, then travels north to the Ardennes around Clervaux and Wiltz. She also visits the Moselle villages and the Mullerthal, whose rocky paths are less obvious than the capital's headline sights. Across a couple of years, the show moves with the seasons, returning to familiar places in different weather and light. Mild winters and cool summers mean the same valley can feel quiet in February and crowded on a summer Saturday, and each revisit adds another layer to the map. Marie Schmit lives in Luxembourg and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Marie is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement. A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers. ☕ Enjoying the show?
