Is Luxembourg Safe? A Guide for Visitors and Residents
Luxembourg is one of Europe's safest countries: the US and UK both place it at their lowest advisory level, and violent crime is rare. The main risk is petty theft and pickpocketing, concentrated around the central station (Gare) district and on buses and trams. Police data for 2025 show a rise in robberies (+30.8%) and theft (+11.9%) from a low base. Save 112 (fire/ambulance) and 113 (police) and watch your belongings in crowds.

Emergency Numbers in Luxembourg: 112, 113 and What to Do in an Emergency
In Luxembourg, dial 112 for fire, ambulance and medical emergencies (run by the CGDIS) and 113 for the police. Both are free and answered 24/7, and 112 works anywhere in the EU. For non-urgent police matters call 244 244 244. Out-of-hours care goes through the médecin de garde (Maison Médicale, 20 333 111) and the pharmacie de garde. For poisoning, call the free 8002-5500. Give the operator your exact location and what happened.
