Why carry an IDP while driving in Luxembourg?
Your IDP is a valid form of identification in more than 150 countries worldwide and contains your name, photo and driver information in the 12 most widely spoken languages in the world – it is understandable to most of the local officials and authorities of the countries you visit.
It translates your identification information into 12 languages — so it speaks the language even if you don’t. Luxembourg highly recommends an International Driving Permit.

Driving in Luxembourg in the Winter
Driving during the winter season can be challenging. Black ice or ice sheets are present on the road when it’s frosty. Thus, you are required to have winter tires. Be sure that your tires are either “M&S”, “M. S.”, or “M+S” to indicate “Mud and Snow”. This is a requirement in Luxembourg. Keep your emergency kit at all times. As long as you’re prepared, you’re good to go.
Enjoy your stay and have a safe travel.
