Fond-de-Gras in Luxembourg is a truly exceptional destination, and our visit left us thoroughly impressed! Exploring Fond-de-Gras is like stepping back in time to an era of industrial history and natural beauty. We had the opportunity to ride the charming train that traverses this picturesque region, and it was a journey filled with awe-inspiring landscapes and a sense of nostalgia. One of the highlights of our visit was the exploration of the mines. The guided tours provided a fascinating insight into the rich mining heritage of the area. Descending into the underground tunnels, we gained a deeper appreciation for the challenges and achievements of those who worked in the mines. The preservation and restoration efforts in Fond-de-Gras are truly commendable. The heritage railway and the well-preserved mining infrastructure pay homage to Luxembourg's industrial past while providing an immersive and educational experience for visitors. Moreover, the natural beauty of the surrounding landscapes adds to the charm of Fond-de-Gras. The lush greenery and serene atmosphere create a perfect setting for a day of exploration and discovery. In summary, Fond-de-Gras is a captivating destination that seamlessly blends history, nature, and education. Our visit, which included a scenic train ride and an exploration of the mines, was a remarkable experience that left us with a deep appreciation for this unique corner of Luxembourg.

Is a free open air museum that is free to wander around in. Every Sunday during summers volunteers man the cafe and restart the old trains. Two minor complaints, none of the displays are in English (just French and German), Secondly website is very basic with minimal information. I was not able to find out any information on when the trains run or where the other museums are located or when and if they are open. I managed to find one of the other ones but it was closed and nothing was posted about when it would open. Despite this it is worth an afternoon to visit especially if you enjoy old machinery Tip: if you walk to the very end of the park where the trains are there is a cafe and inside are some brochures in English. Note cafe is only open on Sunday.

We were here on a Thursday before noon. But nothing to do here at that time. Came back at 14.45 and that just in time for the train. It is the only that goes underground in the week and there was not enough places for everybody. And too bad you cant but tickets in advance. But we were lucky and got in the train. And got a tour underground, very nice. The explanation is only in French in German. The underground train is nice and recommended. Just be there early so you can get on the train.

During the steampunk festival, I was refused to enter by the guys that were selling bus tickets. They didn't let us in, just because my boyfriend expressed his dissatisfaction with lack of non-cash payments. The museum owners didn't put in social media ANY information that other payment methods aren't working anymore and we had to go to ATM to get the cash. Once we came back, these ticket guys refused taking our money and told us to leave and threatened that they are going to call guards...
