Looking for American Expats in Luxembourg?

Thinking about moving to Luxembourg as an American? These pros and cons come from the InterNations Expat Insider 2026 survey, in which thousands of expats around the world share what they like and don't like about life abroad each year. The points below reflect what an American expats in Luxembourg wrote in their own words, backed up by survey percentages from all expats living there. Luxembourg has a smaller American sample, so read it as a friendly snapshot rather than the last word.

• It's stable, safe, and beautifully run. Standout scores: 91% of expats in Luxembourg rate political stability positively, 91% personal safety, and 77% find bureaucracy easy (vs. 38% globally).

• Transport and green space are excellent. Free public transit and easy access to nature stand out — 96% rate the availability of public transportation positively and 93% the natural environment.

• It's multicultural and central. A truly international community and easy trips across Europe are a constant theme, with 67% getting by fine without the local language.

• Careers and healthcare are strong. 71% say the move improved their career prospects and 79% rate healthcare affordability positively.

• Housing is punishingly expensive. Just 7% of expats in Luxembourg rate housing affordability positively and 19% the general cost of living — the lowest kind of scores in the survey.

• Making local friends is hard. Only 26% say it's easy, below the global average of 39%, in a small and transient community.

• It can feel quiet. Culture and nightlife rate 49% and culinary variety 61%, and some Americans find it sleepy.

• The languages and closures take adjusting. Three official languages and everything shutting on Sundays come up as everyday friction.

For Americans, Luxembourg offers safety, stability, free transport, and a green, international, well-run life at the heart of Europe. The trade-offs are steep housing costs, a quiet social scene, and a small community that's slow to open up. It suits professionals who value order and access over buzz.

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys for expats — Expat Insider — where we ask people living around the world about every aspect of expat life. We’ve rounded up key facts about the typical American expat: what motivated them to move to a new country, what they enjoy about life abroad, as well as what they struggle with the most.
