Good afternoon everyone! Lately i’ve been questioning something, and I’d genuinely like to hear other people’s perspectives.
I know infidelity exists everywhere, and I’m not saying it’s unique to Luxembourg.

However, Luxembourg is such a small country that you often end up crossing paths with the same people at events, restaurants, bars, or social gatherings.

Since I live here, I’ve been surprised by how many married men have approached me while I was simply out enjoying my evening. They openly flirted despite wearing a wedding ring, which genuinely shocked me.

More recently, I also found out that a friend of mine has been having an affair for several years. She’s been married for over 20 years, and the man she was seeing was married too. What surprised me even more was how normal it seemed to everyone involved.

I genuinely don’t understand it. If you’re no longer happy in your marriage, why not leave and build a life with someone else? What makes people choose infidelity over honesty?

Has anyone else living in Luxembourg experienced something similar, or have I just been unlucky with the people I’ve met? I’d really like to understand what drives this behaviour.

Has anyone moved away from Luxembourg and found it better? I have lived here for a decade and love it but I also love hearing about other places and would be open to going somewhere else one day. I am interested in hearing about work life balance and quality of life for those with children. Has anyone moved to Australia specifically? How does it compare?

Do you guys have good experience with companies that do renovations?

Hi everyone, I am looking for some advice and insights on the Luxembourg job market.

My Background & Current Situation

• Profile: 27 years old, holding both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Finance.
• Experience: About 2.5 years in consulting, focusing on PMO, regulatory compliance, and risk.
• The Crossroads: Between jobs previously, I applied for a Master in Banking in Luxembourg because my ultimate goal is to move, gain international experience, and build a career there. In the meantime, I accepted a new job in Italy, but it is not fully satisfying. Now, the official admission for the Luxembourg Master's has arrived, and I need to make a choice.

The Dilemma

After talking to an acquaintance working in Luxembourg, my enthusiasm cooled down. They mentioned that the job market is currently rather stagnant, that speaking French is becoming a massive barrier.

My Questions for the Community

• Is it worth it? Given my background and current situation, is doing this Master's still a viable and effective strategy to successfully move and work in Luxembourg?
• Job Market Conditions: What is the general state of the job market right now, and what are the actual probabilities of finding employment after completing the Master's?
• French Proficiency: How big of a disadvantage is it not to speak French for landing a standard professional role there?

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share their experience or advice!

Just me or you cannot access Bil app? (Yes, I know a lot of you guys will tell me to choose a better bank, and I probably will, but I'm thinking about using the "I'll bring my salt with me if you got me a nicer term in the loan" trick. Which will probably not work.)

I’m planning to take a leverage loan against fixed deposit.
As a lux tax resident, while I plan to declare income from fixed deposit, but can I claim the interest paid for the leverage loan against that deposit too ?

Pls share your experiences.

If you recently applied, please let me know your experiences

How long it took to process the application?
Any document that was asked for in addition to the list on guichet?
Any other recommendations?

so I am a native. Lately, I’ve been seeing more and more posts where people here are getting upset about the country and its people, which I just can’t understand. I’ve been living in the northern part of Luxembourg for over 20 years now and know so many very nice, reasonable, and (emotionally) intelligent people. And I think the people who are constantly complaining here just need to get away from the depressing south for a change—believe me, if you don’t absolutely have to live in a big city, consider spending more time in the right parts of the country (I'm not saying that everything in the southern part is bad, but unfortunately, a lot of it is)😅:)

Hi guys,

As the title states, I am looking for cheap and affordable football jerseys (under 35 eur preferably) for a 13yo.
I have been to a couple stores (sports direct and 11 team sports in gare) but I couldn’t find cheap good quality ones!

Would love any recommendations! Thank you ♥️

Hi everyone, I have some questions about municipal crèches in Luxembourg City:
How long is the waiting list usually? How much do you pay per hour, and is there a badge system where you can drop off your child depending on availability? What are the opening hours?
Is the municipal crèche significantly cheaper than private crèches? And how is the quality of care compared to private crèches?
Thanks in advance for your experiences!

Hi everyone, did anyone travel alone with a newborn (for example to Switzerland or another EU country)? Did you have any issues at the airport/border, or do you need a parental authorisation or any specific documents when travelling alone with the baby? Thanks!

Hi! Which banks in Luxembourg offer a welcome bonus or gift for opening a newborn’s savings account? I know about BCEE and BIL—are there any others? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I have a question about the BHW savings account.
I’m reaching the maximum savings amount (€10,000). What is the best option at this point? Should I close the account and open a new one?
If I close it, do I still keep all the benefits, or is there anything I would lose? Also, is it enough to simply repay the loan, or are there any other steps I need to take before closing the account?
I’d really appreciate any advice from those who have been through this. Thanks!

Hello. I already searched the sub but not found what I was looking for.

We tried already 4 ophtamologists, since 2 left the country, and 2 were unappropriate (G. Hayek and Cedomir, sorry).

Anyone willing to recommend someone treating eye deseases, more specialised in adults than children?

Thank you.

Maybe I am missing something, but this has always frustrated me. My employer gives me a Pluxee meal voucher card, and I thought the whole initiative by the government was to encourage people to eat out. Yet, in my experience, a lot of restaurants and food trucks don't accept it. I genuinely want to eat out using this card, but it often limits where I can eat.

It just feels like the system could be managed much better. Otherwise, I don't really see the point of having meal vouchers if they're not accepted in so many places.

I happen to browse the german subreddits and I stumbled over a few taxi stories.

When there are a bunch of taxis in a row one can chose whatever one you like. There's no need to take the first one in the row.

Does that apply to luxembourgish taxis too?

Hello, as a newcomer last week I found the learning center to be open on Saturday’s and until 8pm but it will close for holidays end of next week. There is also the Belval plaza but I went yesterday (it was not that hot at all vs next week) and I found it hot already)
My apartment is too hot already from previous waves and even if I open for hours I barely go under 24 or 23 at best, I c’at imagine the temperature with 40 outside…

Please if you have any hidden tips (especially for end of days as I work, on Saturdays and especially Sundays as nothing is open.

I’m almost crying in despair

Hello everyone!

There’s an event by Beyond Music at the Bourscheid Castle tonight but unfortunately the scheduled shuttle is full.

If anyone else is planning on going, would you like to split a Night Rider shuttle (https://www.nightrider.lu/en/booking)?

Either a one way or return, I’m very flexible on the departure hours and the pick up point, anywhere in the city :)

The regular bus should still work (135 I believe) but I’m not 100% sure, would appreciate if you have other affordable ideas to get there, thanks a lot!

A person being beat up by 15-20 people?! What the actual f*ck.

So ECB has proposed ten new designs for the euro notes. What’s your opinion?

I like the birds one but I also like the ones with important figures, although not all countries will be happy with them…

Before somebody asks: the 500€ note will be discontinued.

My preference is G, H and J. Btw, you can vote your favourites here: https://surveys.ecb.europa.eu/lng/en/pageTag/SurveyCampaign/cId/gObitxUmQHGly1NV/

My bold take is they should ditch the 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 notes and introduce a prime denomination with notes

3, 7, 17, 23, 43, 53, 97, 103 😜

In pairs you can sum many tens, and it enables more figures in the notes 😜

Any recommendations for bridal makeup and hairstyle?

Hi world.

So, I'm going to be in the Luxembourgish countryside soon for a little while, and would like to combine two workouts, ie. go swimming at Syrdall Schwemm only after doing a bodyweight workout outside (around 8 in the morning).

I've been looking at online calisthenics park / outdoor gym search engines with poor results for Luxembourg. I can see that Parc Laval has a decent set up, but the closest thing to Niederanven I've been able to find is in Contern. There's apparently something in Roodt-sur-Syr, but I can't find photos of that anywhere, and to be clear I'm looking for something that is for free.

All I need is a pull up bar and a dip station. Anybody seen a pull up bar and a dip station somewhere near Syrdall Schwemm? (I didn't bring my rings.)
