Neudorf
Old village strung along the Alzette east of Clausen — quiet, wooded, and a favourite starting point for city-edge hikes.

Why people stay in Neudorf
Neudorf runs along the Alzette valley east of Clausen, a strung-out village of stone houses, small workshops and one long main street (Rue de Neudorf). It's residential and quiet, with maybe three or four restaurants, a bakery and a scattered cafe scene. The appeal is the walking — from Neudorf you access the forested trails along the Alzette that eventually connect to Cents and Sandweiler, all inside the city boundary but feeling entirely rural.
By 9pm the village is silent. There's no nightlife, no shopping. Stay here if you want a walking-focused base within the city — early morning trail runs directly from your door — and can accept a 15-minute bus into anywhere lively. Prices are low ($90-$140). Skip if you want the classic Luxembourg city sights on your doorstep. Rives de Clausen is a 20-minute walk downriver for weekend nights.
Two small hotels and a handful of guesthouses along Rue de Neudorf. Expect $95-$140. The best rooms overlook the Alzette or the wooded slopes. Avoid anything on the main through-road (Rue Emile Metz) for morning traffic noise. This is one of the areas where a rural-feeling B&B works better than a hotel — several period farmhouses have been converted.
