Sleep in Trier or another town over the border and visit on day trips to avoid high hotel prices.
Getting around inside the country is free; you only pay for cross-border trips or first class.
Fuel, alcohol and cigarettes cost less in Luxembourg than in the neighbouring countries.
Regional trains from Metz, Brussels or Trier have no early-booking discount, so buying ahead gains nothing.
