Districts (French: quartiers; Luxembourgish: Quartierën) are the administrative divisions of Luxembourg City, the capital and largest city in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
There are currently twenty-four districts, covering the commune of Luxembourg City in its entirety. They are:
The Ville-Haute (French pronunciation: [vil ot]; Luxembourgish: Uewerstad, pronounced [ˈu̯əvɐʃtaːt] ; German: Oberstadt, pronounced [ˈoːbɐʃtat]; all lit. 'High City') is a district in central Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg. It is the historic center of Luxembourg City and is involved in its UNESCO World Heritage Site status. As of 31 December 2024, the Ville Haute has a population of 3,449 inhabitants.
The Ville Haute is home to prestigious squares, buildings and monuments such as Place Guillaume II, Place d'Armes, Notre-Dame Cathedral and Grand Ducal Palace, as well as many government institutions. The Gëlle Fra Monument of Remembrance war memorial is situated on Place de la Constitution.
Kirchberg (German pronunciation: [ˈkɪʁçbɛʁk] ; Luxembourgish: Kierchbierg, pronounced [kiːɐ̯ɕˈbiːɐ̯ɕ] ; lit. 'church hill') is a district in north-eastern Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg. It consists of a plateau overlooking the north-east of the historical city center, Ville Haute, connected to the rest of the elevated city by the Grand Duchess Charlotte Bridge, which spans the Pfaffenthal valley. It is often referred to, in reference to the geographical feature it inhabits, as the Kirchberg plateau by Luxembourgish residents. Kirchberg is the predominant location of the European Union institutions and bodies based within Luxembourg, and is sometimes used as a metonym for the EU's judiciary, which occupies the district. It is thus the central business district of Luxembourg.
Pfaffenthal (German pronunciation: [ˈpfafn̩ˌtaːl]; Luxembourgish: Pafendall, pronounced [ˈpaːfəndɑl] ) is a district in central Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg. The district owes its name to the German words Pfaffen, meaning monk, and Tal, meaning valley, as the area was once administered by the Benedictine Abbey in Altmunster. During the Middle Ages, this site was popular with craftsmen and artisans, who used the Alzette River to aid in their work. The site is a strategically important gateway to Luxembourg City, and was thus repeatedly fortified by successive rulers from about the fourteenth to eighteenth centuries.
Since December 2017, Pfaffenthal is served by the Pfaffenthal-Kirchberg railway station, which connects it to the district of Kirchberg above through the Pfaffenthal-Kirchberg funicular.
Limpertsberg (Luxembourgish: Lampertsbierg, pronounced [ˈlɑmpɐtsbi̯əɕ] ) is a district in north-western Luxembourg City, in the centre of Luxembourg.
As of 31 December 2024, Limpertsberg had a population of about 11,521 inhabitants.
Hollerich (German pronunciation: [ˈhɔləʁɪç]; Luxembourgish: Hollerech, pronounced [ˈholəʀəɕ] ) is a district in south-western Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg.
As of 31 December 2024, the district has a population of 7,781 inhabitants.
