Events: Luxembourg may experience varied demonstration activity over the weekend (February 26-27, 2022). On Saturday, February 26th, demonstrators will protest anti-COVID restrictions beginning at 1400.
In addition, authorities expect multiple demonstrations in support of Ukraine at various embassies throughout the day on Saturday.
The demonstration zone that had previously been established by the Government of Luxembourg in December 2021 has been lifted and protesters can now move through the city as designated by their permits.
Luxembourg Police do not expect the demonstrations to be violent, though they may disrupt traffic. Police will be present to monitor the demonstrations.
As of 14:00 on Friday, February 25th, there are no street closures in effect, but that could change. The demonstrations could cause traffic congestion in the area of the Glacis, Kirchberg, and greater downtown Luxembourg City. Please check with local media sources, and Luxembourg Government site VDL.lu for the latest on traffic closures or public transit changes. Please check your route prior to departure and plan your travel accordingly.
