All Saints' holiday
The all saints' holiday 2026 runs from 31 October to 8 November.
The All Saints break provides a week of rest in autumn. It is an ideal time to enjoy the autumn colours in the forests of Luxembourg.
The Ardennes in the north of the country take on golden and copper hues that attract hikers and photographers. Temperatures in early November are still relatively mild, usually between 5 and 12 degrees.
Many families use the week to explore the country's cultural heritage before winter sets in.
Activities during the all saints' holiday
The Mullerthal region, known as Luxembourg's Little Switzerland, is perfect for family hikes among spectacular rock formations. Museums like the National Museum of Natural History and Mudam offer child-friendly activities.
Indoor swimming centres such as Les Bains du Parc in Luxembourg City are a great option on rainy days. Vianden Castle, perched above the Our valley, offers guided tours designed especially for families.
Nature lovers can explore the Upper Sure Natural Park with its marked trails around the lake. For younger children, Trampolino in Steinfort provides a popular indoor play area.
