After 10 years without a direct connection, Zaventem and Brussels South Charleroi airports are resuming flights to Amman, the capital of Jordan.

1. Ryanair via Brussels South Charleroi

The Irish low-cost carrier Ryanair announced on August 22 nd a new route from Brussels South Charleroi to Amman with 4 weekly flights starting from 1 November as part of its Winter ’23 schedule. The initiative was led by the Jordan Tourism Board (JTB) and Ryanair and their partnership will last until 2028. Under this agreement, the carrier will add four new routes, bringing the total to 25 routes connecting Jordan with 12 European cities.

“This agreement reflects the importance of low-cost flights in attracting tourists to Jordan,” said Makram Queisi, the Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, during the signing ceremony, underlining the positive shift the kingdom has been witnessing in inbound tourism in recent years following the Covid.

Ryanair: Over 1,000 daily flights across Europe this summer

“We are delighted to be bringing even more choice and value to our Belgian customers with the addition of this new Amman route, offering our customers in Brussels even more choice when planning their Winter getaways. We look forward to welcoming customers onboard our flights to/from Amman this Winter as Ryanair continues to deliver more connectivity and lower fares than any other airline for Belgium, ”said Ryanair’s Dara Brady.

Eddie Wilson, CEO of Ryanair said Ryanair’s services in Jordan have succeeded in drawing in new tourist segments to Jordan, particularly from Eastern Europe. According to Wilson, the renewal of the agreement will increase the number of routes to a total of 25, with over 100 flights per week.

2. Royal Jordanian

Zaventem Airport is also welcoming the airline Royal Jordanian to provide direct flights to Amman starting as of October 26. RJ will begin operating twice-weekly flights between the two capital cities allowing passengers to travel from Belgium to Jordan, and vice versa, in just around four to five hours. The new Brussels expansion is part of RJ’s new strategy to focus on tourism into Jordan and becoming the airline of choice for the Levant region.

Adding Brussels to our ever-expanding network will allow tourists from Belgium to visit Jordan easily and directly. Karim Makhlouf, Royal Jordanian Airlines Chief Commercial Officer

Royal Jordanian Airlines returns to Brussels Airport after ten years of absence

“Facilitating tourism to the Kingdom is a core focus of RJ’s new strategy — as is our commitment to further developing Amman as the main gateway to the Levant, by offering improved connectivity to our broader network”, said Karim Makhlouf, Royal Jordanian Airlines Chief Commercial Officer.

Search for flights

One thing many visitors don’t anticipate when they book flights to Jordan is the amazing food. It’s a delightful surprise – everything from the breakfast fuul and flaky pastries flavoured with pistachios to the falafel is downright delicious. And if you can bring yourself to take a break from eating, you’ll find there are plenty of other things to discover.

Amman is a laid-back, chilled out city with enough activities and attractions to keep you busy for a few days – or even longer if you’re happy to while away the hours sipping coffee and mingling with the locals. The prime sight in Amman is the impressive Roman theatre, which dates back to the second century AD. If you’re lucky, you might catch a concert here during the summer months.

Once you’ve seen the major sights in Amman, your best bet is simply to wander around, taking in the sights, smells and sounds, such as the Arabic pop music filtering from shop doorways. Drink freshly squeezed orange juice from street vendors, purchase some cardamom in the local spice shops and immerse yourself in one of the Middle East’s most modern cities.

Petra is a highlight, and truly one of the world’s great sights. Made famous as a film location for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the Lost City is every bit as stunning as everyone says it is. Stunning facades carved into the red stone, wide boulevards, temples and tombs, all date back to the era of the Nabataeans (a few centuries BC), and together make up a compelling site that you’ll need at least a full day to explore.

Jordan is small enough to traverse quite easily, and it’s worth making it all the way to the southern tip to spend a couple of days lying on the beaches of the Red Sea, snorkelling and scuba diving, before heading out of the country.

In Europe's Schengen area , your passport must be valid for at least six months at the time of your entry. At present, the Schengen area includes most European Union (EU) countries, except for Cyprus and Ireland.

If you are transiting through Canada or the United Kingdom (UK) enroute to the Schengen area : your passport must be valid for at least six months, even though Canada and the UK do not themselves have the six-month rule. If your passport will expire within six months, airlines may not let you board your onward flight to Europe.

Traveling in Europe

If you plan to travel in Europe, you need to know about the Schengen Borders Agreement, which allows you to move freely within a number of countries without border checks. Tourists, exchange students, and people visiting for business from certain countries, like the United States, can travel in the Schengen area for up to 90 days. The Schengen area includes most EU countries, except for Cyprus and Ireland. It also includes four non-EU countries: Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein.

Before you travel to the Schengen area, we recommend you do the following:

• Check the expiration date on your passport book carefully before traveling to Europe. Ensure your passport book is valid for at least six months when you enter the Schengen area. This is especially important for minors under age 16 as their passports are only valid for five years. In contrast, U.S. citizen adults aged 16 and older receive passports that are valid for 10 years.
• Always carry your passport book with you when traveling to another country in the Schengen area. Even if there is no border check at that time, officials may reinstate border controls without notice.
• Be prepared to explain your purpose of travel.
• Be prepared to provide proof of sufficient financial resources for the visit.
• Comply with other entry requirements for each country you will visit or transit.

On our Country Information pages , you can find passport validity requirements and other important information for your destination country. If your passport does not meet the Schengen requirements, you may be:

• Refused boarding by the airline at your point of origin or while transferring planes.
• Denied entry when you arrive in the Schengen area, regardless of how long you will stay.

An immigration official will determine if you qualify for visa-free entry to the Schengen area when you first cross any external Schengen border. You will have to present your passport at that time. The officer may deny your entry if you do not qualify.

You should also check passport validity requirements if traveling onward from the Schengen area to a country outside the Schengen area. You can find this information in our Country Information pages.

HOW LONG CAN I REMAIN?

• With a valid U.S. passport book, you can stay up to 90 days in the Schengen area for tourism or business during any 180-day period. You must wait an additional 90 days before applying to re-enter the Schengen area.
• If you plan to stay in the Schengen area longer than three months, contact the embassy of the country where you plan to spend the majority of your time and apply for a visa.

Countries in the Schengen area may reinstate temporary internal or external border control without notice. U.S. citizens should carry their U.S. passport book at all times when entering or leaving the Schengen area. They should also bring it when traveling between Schengen countries.

How can the U.S. government help me if border officials do not let me enter?

• We can give you the contact information of foreign embassies of the countries you wish to visit.
• We can provide information about hiring an English-speaking foreign attorney overseas if you choose to do so.
• Note: We cannot influence a foreign government’s decision about allowing you to enter. We cannot intervene in another country’s criminal or administrative procedures.

A first-time guide to Luxembourg

Aug 16, 2023 • 7 min read

Get to know the best things to do in Luxembourg with this first-timer's guide © RossHelen / Getty Images

Squeezed in between France , Belgium and Germany , tiny Luxembourg (pop. 655,000) is something of an oddity, yet is arguably also the most European of the continent’s many nations.

A multilingual global hub of business and commerce, Luxembourg is also the world’s only grand duchy and its cinematic capital city was once an imposing fortress that used its dramatic topography to battle waves of Spanish and French armies. 

In short, it’s an intriguing place. But despite those alluring accolades, it’s a country that’s often overlooked thanks to its diminutive size. Those who do venture here find dense hiking wildernesses, languid wine regions, bizarre local festivals and arguably the most distinct capital city in Europe. 

A country this small won't be without its quirks however, so here are a few things to think about before traveling to Luxembourg. 

When should I go to Luxembourg?

Luxembourg’s relative mystique means its streets won’t be clogged with swelling crowds, lost tourists and stressed tour guides, even during the summer months. And while summer (June to August) is indeed the busiest time, the pleasant weather also makes it the best time to visit. 

The thick foliage lining the gorges and valleys of Luxembourg City explodes into orange, gold and red during fall (September to November) and these delightful scenes coupled with slightly lower hotel prices make it another fine time to visit.

The Winterlights festival in Luxembourg City during December's festive period is magical, though travelers passing through in January and February will face near-freezing temperatures and reduced opening hours, with closures of some attractions and restaurants.

How long should I spend in Luxembourg?

Luxembourg City is an ideal weekend break destination, with plenty to see and do between Friday and Sunday. If, however, you have more time at your disposal then take advantage of the country’s short distances between locations (it takes less than 90 minutes to drive from the northern to the southern end of Luxembourg!).

With four days available, there’s ample time to spread out to the wine region of Moselle and explore the unique museums of Esch, the 2022 European Capital of Culture . Expand that to seven days and you’ll be able to head north and hike the Mullerthal’s dense forests and gentle hills.

Is it easy to get in and around Luxembourg?

Luxembourg Airport is the country’s only international airport and is located around 5km (3 miles) east of the capital, meaning a relatively short bus or taxi ride into the city. While the ravines of Luxembourg City may look intimidating at first, it's a small place of just 132,000 and is easily walkable. 

And in news that always brings a surprised smile to first-time visitors' faces, all public transit in Luxembourg (buses, trams, and trains) has been free of charge since February 29, 2020.

Top things to do in Luxembourg

More than 10 times smaller than neighboring Belgium, Luxembourg is not a big place and its capital city is the best place to start any journey. Begin by taking in the finest views of this picturesque city from the Chemin de la Corniche and the mighty Pont Adolphe bridge. 

In the city center, Luxembourg’s rather tumultuous history can be explored at the fascinating cliffside Musée d'Histoire de la Ville de Luxembourg . After soaking up the city’s stirring past, you can then see up close how Luxembourg defended itself at the Bock Casemates  –  a complex network of subterranean tunnels and rocky fortifications lined with cannons protruding out of carefully cut holes. It’s no surprise this place was once nicknamed the "Gibraltar of the North". 

Let off steam in the evening by making the winding walk down to the lively Rives de Clausen neighborhood, a 12th-century brewing district that’s been regenerated into an eclectic entertainment area with bumping bars and modern restaurants. 

While Luxembourg’s current riches are based around financial services, its past wealth was built on the cast iron industry and nowhere is that displayed better than at the hulking remains of Belval’s former blast furnaces in the southwestern city of Esch. With their massive steel skeletons available to climb on guided tours, the sublime panoramic views stretch as far as France. Over at the Minett Park Fond-de-Gras , the old mining railroad has been transformed into a network of bucolic walking trails, with many of the historic stations and warehouses free to explore.

In Luxembourg’s pastoral southeast, the Moselle Valley wine region is also perfect for a short 20km (12 mile) day trip from the capital and its rolling vineyards growing grapes make for pleasant summer afternoons sampling local whites such as Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Chardonnay.

With a little more time on your hands, there’s scope to take the train north into beautiful Mullerthal. Often referred to as Luxembourg’s Little Switzerland, walk parts (or all of) the 112km (70 mile) Mullerthal Trail for some sublime summer hiking, passing by rare sandstone rock formations, ancient fern forests and wonderful views over the river Sûre.

Over in border-straddling Echternach, the town’s handsome twin-spired abbey dominates the surrounding landscape and looks deep into neighboring Germany. This place though, is also famous for more unconventional reasons. If you happen to be here on Whit Tuesday, then you’ll be on hand to witness the traditional Lechternacher Sprangprëssessioun – a hopping procession where participants dressed in white shirts and black trousers hop like bunnies to a polka melody through the town’s medieval streets to pay tribute to St Willibrord, founder of the local Benedictine Abbey .

My favorite thing to do in Luxembourg

My first trip to Luxembourg was booked on a whim, very much a last-minute decision driven by itchy feet and a desire for an easy weekend of escapism from the monotony of a crushingly dull 9–5 job during a former life. But like most people, I had no idea what to expect and did even less research into what this mysterious country a two-hour hop from the UK looked like. I guess I wanted to be surprised. 

And that’s exactly what happened the first time I walked out onto the capital city’s Chemin de la Corniche. From the elevated balcony of this winding promenade, Luxembourg’s widescreen cityscape was revealed like an establishing shot of an epic Golden Age Hollywood movie. So spend as long as you like here soaking in tumbling gorges, vertiginous cliffs, twisting roads, distant spires, dense foliage and grand stone bridges. It’s a remarkable scene that’s never left me.

How much money do I need for Luxembourg?

Luxembourg is the world’s richest country going by GDP per capita, though its prices for visitors aren’t exceptionally high (like you may see in Scandinavia, for example). It’s not a cheap country either, but for those simply traveling through, Luxembourg isn’t too different from its neighbors and should be treated as such.

As mentioned earlier, Luxembourg’s free public transit is a huge boon for visitors and should be taken advantage of as often as possible. Maybe treat yourself to a hotel upgrade or fancy meal perhaps?

Hostel room: €35 Hotel room for two: €112 Public transport ticket: free! Coffee: €3.50 Sandwich: €5 Dinner for two: €50–70 Beer/pint at a bar: €6

Frequently asked questions

How many languages do they speak in luxembourg.

Germanic in character, Luxembourgish is the national language of Luxembourg though the country also has two other official languages: French and German. French is more prominent than German, though English is widely spoken too (thanks to Luxembourg’s large multinational workforce).

What type of food will I find in Luxembourg?

Luxembourg’s cuisine is reflective of its location between France and Germany, blending ingredients and styles from both but perhaps closer to the heartier fare of German dishes. Made from smoked pork collar, potatoes and broad beans, Judd mat Gaardebounen is a classic Luxembourgish dish and is ideal in colder months.

What’s a grand duchy?
