Video Chat with People from Luxembourg
Luxembourg is one of Europe's smallest countries, yet it's packed with languages and nationalities. People you meet may be in Luxembourg City, with its Casemates tunnels, the deep Grund valley and the modern Kirchberg plateau, or in Esch-sur-Alzette, Differdange, Ettelbruck, the Moselle wine villages, or near Vianden's hilltop castle. Luxembourgish, French and German are all official, English is very common at work, and Portuguese is heard widely thanks to a large Portuguese community.
Luxembourg's clock matches Paris and Brussels, so evenings there arrive while it's mid-afternoon in New York. Interesting topics include the free public transport, cross-border life (many people commute in daily from France, Belgium and Germany), hiking in the rocky Mullerthal, and crémant sparkling wine from the Moselle. Food fans can ask about judd mat gaardebounen (smoked pork with broad beans), gromperekichelcher potato fritters or quetschentaart plum tart. With a small population, matching through the country filter may take longer than for bigger countries. Our French and German pages help you prepare.

How to say hello
A few words of German make a great first impression, even if you switch to English right after.

| French | Bonsoir ! | bohn-SWAHR | Good evening! |
Tips for chatting with people from Luxembourg
- Open with "Moien"; people notice and appreciate it, and you can move on to English, French or German a moment later.
- Ask which language they use where; many people speak one at home, another at work and a third with friends.
- France, Belgium and Germany are all a short drive away, so people often have weekend recommendations across three countries.
- The Schueberfouer funfair in Luxembourg City, from late August into September, is a fun seasonal topic.
Only meet people from Luxembourg
Omlet matches you Worldwide by default. To meet only people from Luxembourg, use the country filter, the only filter Omlet has:
- Open Omlet and press Country on the control panel.
- Search for Luxembourg and select it.
- Press Start. Press Next to meet someone else from Luxembourg, or switch back to Worldwide any time.
Your first day is free: you add a card through Stripe to start it, and nothing is charged that day. When the 24 hours end, the country filter costs $3 one time, charged to that card, unless you cancel before then in Settings (if you cancel, you can still pick a country until the day ends). It's not a subscription, and it stays unlocked on that device and browser. It doesn't carry over to other devices or browsers, and clearing your browser data removes it. There's one free day per device, home network and card. Payment goes through Stripe, so Omlet never sees your card number.
The filter works both ways, and matching can be slower when fewer people from Luxembourg are online. Chatting itself is free, and Worldwide matching never costs anything.
Your own country is detected automatically and shown to the people you meet as a flag.
