The American cemetery in Luxembourg is the final resting place of 5,070 soldiers, who lost their lives in the World War II. There is also the grave of General Patton. We visited here in mid-May this year (2024). The area is easily reachable by the local transportation (which is Free), and it takes about 30mins by the bus/shuttle from the city center (from "Gëlle Fra” memorial or Palais Grand-Ducal, or pont adolphe). Just stop at the LUX Hamm, Ronndréisch bus stop and walk 15mins using google maps. If you have a car, the Parking is Free. Yes, the Restrooms are free and the staff are friendly. I would highly recommend this place to visit if you are in Luxembourg.

I was impressed by the size of the cemetery. So many have died for our freedom. In the visitors center you can search names, get a booklet and sign the guestbook. Across the visitors center is a restroom which you can use for free. At this cemetery is the grave of General Patton. His grave faces the graves of the other soldiers. Lest we forget.

As a former US Soldier, this was a must stop. The grounds are kept up beautifully. Free parking with plenty of space. It started snowing as we arrived so we made our way into the visitor center before heading to the memorial. Staff are friendly and well informed. I highly recommend this stop as a reminder of those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation.

Visited General Patton's grave at Luxembourg American Cemetery in November 2023. Information regarding World War II is provided; you do not need to be an expert to appreciate this stop/visit. Parking is free and close to entrance. Would highly recommend visiting if given the opportunity.

This is a beautiful cemetery by the airport I'd recommend for anyone interested in world war history. You'll find Patton's grave and five paratroopers from the 'Band of Brothers' here. It was moving to be here in the winter - the same timeframe many died in the Battle of the Bulge. It's accessible by bus if you're staying in central Luxembourg, but be aware that it's about a 15-20 minute walk (see pic) from the stop to the site. Be sure to stop in the office when you enter as well as they have many details about the cemetery.
