The $200 day, laid out
Hotel: Simoncini or Parc Belair at $150-180. Breakfast in the hotel or at Konrad Cafe ($10-14). One paid attraction — MUDAM at $9, or the Casemates du Bock interior at $12. Lunch at a bistro like Bosso or Um Piquet, around $25 with a glass of wine. That still leaves $40-60 for a real dinner: try Chiggeri, Brasserie Bosso, or Um Dierfgen for regional plates around $35-50 including a drink.
Where to spend the extra $50
If you push to $250, you unlock a proper tasting menu at Mosconi (one Michelin star, around $110 lunch) or the terrace at Le Place d’Armes. You can also add a day-trip: train to Vianden is free but the chairlift up to the castle overlook is $7. Skip taxis entirely — they’re $25+ per short hop and public transport is free. The single best upgrade is a better hotel room with a valley view.
