Grund Elevator

The Grund lift, link between upper and lower town

The Luxembourg audio-guided tour invites you to take the free Grund lift, which lets you go up effortlessly from the lower town to the Saint-Esprit plateau. It is a practical and original way to link the two levels of the city.

Linking the two faces of Luxembourg

Luxembourg spreads over two levels: the upper town, perched on the plateaus, and the lower town, nestled at the bottom of the valleys. The Grund lift links the historic Grund district, below, to the Saint-Esprit plateau, where the judicial city stands. It eases movement and avoids the climb by stairs and sloping streets.

What there is to see

The lift, carved into the rock, comes out onto the Saint-Esprit plateau, from where you enjoy fine views over the lower town and the fortifications. Practical and free, it makes discovering Luxembourg easier, linking in moments two very different atmospheres of the capital.
