YOUR DESTINATION, IN CONTEXT
Luxembourg has a published GLD Country Score of 85/100, in the High range.
Luxembourg combines strong legal recognition with a multilingual, internationally connected population. The capital contains most LGBTQ+ organisations and events, while the country’s small size makes dedicated venues limited but cross-border travel unusually easy.
