Getting there

Walking

If you are starting from the Luxembourg City center (for example, near the Place d'Armes), begin by walking towards the Rue du Marché-aux-Herbes. Continue straight until you reach the Grand Rue. Turn left onto Grand Rue and follow it as it curves onto the Boulevard F. D. Roosevelt. Keep walking straight until you reach the Pont Adolphe, a prominent bridge. Cross the bridge and continue straight down the hill towards the Grund district. Once in Grund, follow the signs towards the Bock Casemates, which is located at Mnt de Clausen, 1343 Grund. The entrance is near the edge of the cliff with stunning views of the city.

Public Transport

From the main train station (Gare Centrale), take bus line 1 (direction 'Gare - Hamilius') or bus line 16 (direction 'Luxembourg - Hesperange'). Get off at the 'Hamilius' stop. From there, walk towards the Place d'Armes and follow the walking directions provided for pedestrians. Alternatively, from Hamilius, you can take bus line 9 (direction 'Porte de la Gare') to 'Rives de Clausen' stop, which is a short walk away from Bock Casemates.

Biking

If you are cycling, you can rent a bike from one of the many bike-sharing stations around the city. Start from the city center and take the bike path towards the riverside along the Alzette River. Follow the path that leads you to the Grund area. Once you reach the bottom of the hill, navigate towards Mnt de Clausen, where the Bock Casemates are located. The bike paths are well-marked, and the ride provides beautiful views along the way.
