Diekirch

Diekirch is a town of 6,800 people (2018) in Luxembourg, best known for its brewery of the same name and the National Museum of Military History.

By car
Diekirch is located along the N7, which is a continuation of the A7 highway which runs from Luxembourg City and Mersch to the north. The N7 connects to Clervaux and Troisvierges in the north, and Ettelbruck (where it becomes the A7) in the south. When travelling from the banks of the Moselle (anywhere between Schengen and Echternach), travel downstream the Moselle and Sauer via the N10, switching to the N19 in Reisdorf.

By public transit
Diekirch can be reached by train in about 50 minutes from Luxembourg City. There are direct trains every hour (except on Sundays), but usually you'll need to transfer to a shuttle service at Ettelbruck as the is located at an awkward branch from the main line, with it being the only station on the branch.

Busses connect Diekirch to Beaufort, Colmar-Berg, Echternach, Ettelbruck, Grevenmacher, Larochette and Redange.

Get around
Diekirch can be easily covered on foot. The town center with the pedestrian zone Grand-Rue (Groussgaass) is about 1 km away from the train station. The Military Museum is in the Bamerdall just up the hill from the central church towards Fridhaff.

 * Ettelbruck and Diekirch both border the town of Ingeldorf. Combining your stay with a visit to Ettelbruck is by no means discouraged.
 * Vianden can best be reached via the N17 within half an hour. Its main attraction is the castle of the same name, which without doubt is the best visited tourist attraction of the country.
 * Luxembourg City, the nation's capital, is found at the other end of the A7, which starts just south of Ettelbruck.
 * Using the motorways south of the city (A3 and A4) will end you up in the Land of the Red Rocks, which has a big industrial heritage.
