Northern Ireland Fans Embassy Guide for Luxembourg 🇱🇺

[AONISC]

We hope you find the information provided helpful. This is correct at the time of writing. 

Remember - we're 'For Fans, By Fans'.

𝗢𝗻 𝗔𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 🛬

Buses and trams are FREE within Luxembourg.

Bus Number 16 or 29 will take you to and from the airport. Both travel through the city centre and pass the main rail station.

The journey is approximately 10km to the city centre (around 25 minutes), and there's a stop at Hamilius in the centre, running from here between 04:43 until 23:43. 

Bus 16 from the airport runs from 05:00 until 00:10.

Taxis are very expensive and it's strongly recommended that you try and use public transport.

Although it's fairly small, there are a number of pubs and restaurants in the city centre, around the Place d'Armes area.

For a beer, you'll pay €6-€9 for a pint in the bars and restaurants. A Tower (shown in one of our images) is €36-45. Bottled beer starts at around €6. 

Have a look around the place, and you're likely to find some places are less expensive off the beaten track.

Eating out will cost from around €15 for a snack to €20-30 for a main course.

If you're working to a budget, you can get a can of beer from the Monoprix from €1.50. 

You'll find one of these stores very close to the Tourist Information Office at Place Guilluame II, near to the statue.

Smaller shops around the streets cost a Euro or two more for a beer.

A fast food meal is around €13-15 and the Place des Armes area has all the outlets you'd expect to find.

The good news is that the tram line now runs to the stadium, showing the destination 'Stadion'. This is free to use. The stadium is the last stop.

The 'Hamilius' stop is within a couple of minutes of the two large squares, where we expect Northern Ireland fans will gather.

The stadium is the last stop and it's only a few minutes’ walk to our entrance.

After the match, take the tram back into the city centre. The tram destination will show 'Luxexpo'.

𝗚𝗘𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗢 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗗𝗜𝗨𝗠

Once you get off at the last stop, our entrance is on the opposite side of the stadium. Walk as if to pass the stadium, then turn left and continue to the last set of turnstiles. We're in Sectors A and U.

We'll have Fans Embassy volunteers along with IFA staff to help direct people.

There are the usual security cordons at the stadium. A list of prohibited items will be circulated. Gates open two hours before kick-off. Bag storage is available at the stadium, ask at our entrance, and you'll be directed.

Tickets will be scanned, photo ID will NOT be required to enter the stadium. Some people may be selected to collect their tickets at the stadium entrance. 

The Irish FA will notify those people and will supply information to those selected, should they decide to do this. The IFA is still processing the tickets, so watch out for updates.

At the time of writing, matchday arrangements are to be confirmed, and we'll share these once we have them.

𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗗𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗗𝗜𝗨𝗠 

Alcohol is on sale at the stadium kiosks, along with soft drinks and hot food. Payment is by card only.

When you enter our sector, please use all available space and follow instructions from the stewards.

We've sold our allocation, so space is at a premium. Please find a seat and don't block the entrance for others coming into the stadium behind you.

There's plenty of space for flags, but again, please follow the stewards' instructions.
