Water Temperature in Luxembourg: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Luxembourg City is known for its unique position atop cliffs overlooking the Alzette River, which winds its way through the capital’s picturesque valleys. While the Alzette adds natural beauty to the city, its water temperature remains relatively cool throughout the year. During the summer, water temperatures in the Alzette typically range between 14°C and 18°C (57°F to 64°F), keeping the river fresh but not especially comfortable for swimming. As the Alzette flows through urban and industrial areas, water quality can sometimes vary, which further limits its suitability for swimming.

In Luxembourg City, swimming in the Alzette is generally not recommended. The river’s depth and flow rate can vary widely, and it is not maintained for recreational swimming. However, the river’s scenic banks are perfect for walking, cycling, and enjoying the city’s natural environment.
