We went one week after the opening after renovation. Very modern and pleasant way of interactions and interesting information! In the ticket is also a visit included to the boat where the schengen agreement was signed. Would recommend!
This was my first stop on my vacation in Europe after arriving in Luxembourg. -I came in the morning before the museum opened to explore the area. The museum was not busy when it did open at 10 am, only 2 other people. -There is a shop with books and tourist things, and you buy your access card for the museum. -Its a physical card, you first put the card into a machine outside the entrance to museum, and it loads your language onto the card. then you use the card to enter the museum. -The museum is not large, its a room with a video room in the middle. around the outside is a few different interactive info displays to learn about the history. -Some make you move a slider to see different time periods, or listen to a TV commercial or radio announcement from back then. and the impact the treaty had on everyone involved. -At the end you get a printed "European passport" paper with your picture as a souvenir. -Also included in entrance is access to the boat that the treaty was signed on, which is about a 2 min walk away on the other side of the bridge. If you show the ticket they let you on. There was school tour groups there when i was there. Overall it was a great learning experience and nice to explore the area.
Due to the weather, I recommend bringing an umbrella and a sweatshirt, even in summer. There's not much to see here except for a museum and a small shopping mall.
Phenomenal museum, wholly digital so it also doesn't take too much space. You're given a card to "check-in" with your name, country of origin and preferred language which you will then use to activate everything in the museum. We stayed no less than two hours at least, trying to read and watch everything that was available. A big focus was (of course) the Schengen agreement, how the borders in Europe "changed" throughout the years and showing all the positives, negatives and challenges that this agreement caused. Unfortunately the boat that was supposed to be accessible had to be moved due to possible floodings, but otherwise the visit went perfectly. I cannot recommend this museum enough!
I was surprised , it is a small but very interesting and modern museum. There are all interactive exhibits , and + you can visit a small ship. The stuff was friendly and the price is just 5€. I can recommend everyone to visit it.
Amazing experience! Digital, innovative and a lot of things to see, it is so worthy! At the end you can get a fancy document as a Schengen visa, haha
Very interesting place! The museum is small, but everything was so interactive that my family and I really liked it! At the end, you can even print yourself a Schengen passport! There is also a very nice souvenir store there. They used to have free entry, now it's a small fee, but it's worth it!
A wonderful multimedia museum, entrance fee only 3€ and it is worth much more. You get a card that allows you to use all the contents inside the museum, such as displaying the country you are from, playing games, reading and finally making a symbolic Scengen passport. Everything is clean, tidy, everyone speaks English very well. Possibility of buying souvenirs without buying an entry ticket. A must visit!

Beautiful vineyard located on top of the hill and stunning views from the terrace. Great food and wine. Service was very friendly and polite. I would recommend this place and I hope to back here with my family again.
We came here for a wine tasting and had a brilliant time. Our waitress (Sofie/Sophie) was friendly, attentive, and fantastically knowledgeable about the wine. She tailored the experience to our tastes and expertise, and made the visit special. The surroundings are delightful, with shady tables, a pool, and panoramic views across the Luxembourg countryside.
We caught a public bus from Luxembourg city to make this visit and it was absolutely worth it even though we had a bit of rain on the way there! The rieslings were incredible, and so were the views from the dining room. On a warmer day, I have no doubts the terrace would be amazing to have a few drinks on. We did the 6 wine tasting and the pours were in line with expectations (not disappointing). The flammkuchen was very tasty and the crust was thin (just perfect). The rieslings were so good we had to order additional by the glass and the price per glass was very reasonable.
Beautiful vineyard located on top of the hill, stunning views from the terrace. Service was very friendly and polite and everyone spoke English. My husband and I did 6 glass tasting and had some dips and cheeses and all was really good. I would recommend this place and we will definitely go back again 🥂
Very much enjoyed my time. Favorite wine was Cremànt de Schengen 💫
My favorite winery in Luxembourg, with a stunning terrace and beautiful views. It was Henry Ruppert who made me fall in love Riesling ! His Riesling is simply outstanding. What is more important and pleasant this domaine works till 21h ( most of wineries works only till 18 even on weekends which is absolutely awkward for me ) Highly recommend to visit !
Beautiful building with stunning views. Very kind and helpful staff who managed to squeeze us in without a reservation. The wines were delicious as was the sharing plater of local meats cheeses. I highly recommend trying this vineyard.
Very nice wines and an incredible view/atmosphere. Our waitress was super friendly and gave excellent wine recommendations. The only downside was that another one of the staff in the end when paying was a bit abrupt and rude.

An extremely interesting place to spend your day in a beautiful sunny weather. There are many varieties of different species of birds and you can hear them singing all the time. The trail is well structured and maintained. There is also a small wooden cabin that you can watch birds silently.
The weather was a bit rainy so we didn't see many little critters, but birds galore! It's a great spot to get a nice walk in and if you have a camera bring it! The bird spots have shacks to protect you from the elements. It's peaceful and quit and near some good areas to eat
Cool place for a peaceful trek plus there is museum nearby.. have many photo points
Perfect place to come to piece and have serenity. Also perfect for birdwatchers and generally nature lovers.
Great and beautiful trail with uphill challenges!
Great easy walks to do with kids with the chance of seeing birds
Wonderful place to observe the local wildlife and nature. Interesting Biodiversum. Lovely view to the vineyards with delicious and sweet grapes. Beautiful golden october.

Excellent award winning family owned winery producing some of the finest Rieslings with great minerality, hints of apricots, apples and a very classic Moselle Riesling profile from the local Felsberg vineyards. Other wines produced are Pinots Gris, Pinot Noir, dessert wines (late harvests) and sparkling wines (Crémant), all of exceptional quality. Lovely tasting room, well worth a visit.
Great location and friendly staff. Lovely wines and fantastic tasting. Will be back soon.
Nice winery to visit. Did some wine tasting and received helpful recommendations.
This is a regular stop for me when visiting Schwebsange, Luxembourg. The family is very friendly, service perfect. And the Crémant is the only one of it's kind and I buy boxes to take back to Amsterdam. In fact, I'm on my way there right now, picking up a few boxes for the holidays.
(Translated by Google) We have already picked up wine here several times, each time we received a very hospitable welcome and were able to taste their top wines! (Original) We hebben hier al enkele keren wijn gaan afhalen elke keer zeer gastvrij ontvangen en kunnen proeven van hun topwijnen!
(Translated by Google) Visited today, a large tasting room with table and chair (around 10/12 tables). We were very well received and supported. A wide range of wines, some very good, and good advice. I highly recommend this domain. (Original) Visité ce jour, une grande salle de dégustation avec table et chaise (environ 10/12 tables). On a été très bien reçu et accompagné. Une grande palette de vins, des très bons, et de bons conseils. Je recommande fortement ce domaine.
(Translated by Google) Chic tasting room, very friendly service. Good Rivaner and Riesling. Very good value for money! (Original) Schicker Verkostungsraum, sehr netter Service. Gute Rivaner, Riesling. Preis-Leistung sehr gut!

I took an afternoon trip from Lux City for a beautiful wine tasting. Our host Marion provided great insights about the wine and area and even let us see her wine cathedral! As a solo traveler I made new friends, which was a bonus. Highly recommend stopping by for the afternoon!
Amazing experience beside the vineyards! The wine is delicious! Careful! It goes down so easily! Loved the service and the relax environment. The young lady who have us the tasting experience was so sweet, knowledgeable, and entertaining! We left with 2 bottles! Yes! That is a must!!!
My wife and I had such a wonderful experience at Domaines Vinsmoselles. We did a multiple varietal tasting and were hosted by Marion. She is super friendly and very knowledgeable about the wine, the harvest and the history of the domaine. We are from California, and she is a natural conversing in English and was so personable with us, we hope to run into her again. We came out by bus from Luxembourg, and the bus stop is right in front of the tasting room. We would recommend a visit to this winery.
Marion was an incredible host and extremely knowledgeable of the wine industry in Luxembourg. Amazing how this cooperative makes 2/3 of all of Luxembourg wine. It wouldn’t have been the same without her nice treatment of us. Thank you Marion, hope to see you in Portugal.
We had a fantastic wine tasting experience with our group of five at this wonderful wine house. Although none of us were wine experts, the hostess impressed us with her extensive knowledge and incredible sense of humor. She made the whole afternoon both informative and so much fun! We ended up taking home some amazing bottles. Thank you for the unforgettable experience!
Very nice winetasting. They have two kind of sets but you can ask for your individual set of wines.
I came here for a wine tasting and Morgane provided me with an excellent tasting plus local knowledge about the buses (as I was bikepacking at the time). Morgane has excellent English and the Domaines has a great selection of wine. Is right next to the bus stop too so you can get there from Luxembourg. Thank you.
We had a lovely tasting experience with Marion our host. She provided all the detail for someone that is new to the region, and I thought the quality of wine across the range of varietals was very good. Highly recommend.
