Project Benelux Rework: Luxembourg City

[♕-SlawkA-♕]

As development on the Project Benelux Rework progresses, we are delighted to bring you a new preview from the heart of Europe. Today, we take a closer look at Luxembourg City, the compact yet remarkably multi-layered capital that will soon receive a significant overhaul in Euro Truck Simulator 2. Famous for its dramatic terrain, preserved fortifications, and striking modern districts, Luxembourg City offers some truly exceptional driving experiences that our team has worked hard to recreate.

Luxembourg City sits high above the winding Alzette River, its quarters arranged across clifftops, plateaus, and deep valleys. This unique geography makes the city a rewarding challenge for truck drivers, and nowhere is this more apparent than when approaching the Grand Duchess Charlotte Bridge. From here, players will enjoy a sweeping view towards the historic centre and the Casemates du Bock, the partially preserved medieval defence system carved into the rock face. It is a view that showcases the city’s layered history and the impressive verticality that sets Luxembourg apart.

“Luxembourg City is the capital of the small state of Luxembourg. It is nestled in a unique landscape above the meandering Alzette River. It offers beautiful views from the Grand Duchess Charlotte Bridge of the partially preserved medieval city walls. We will also take a look at the modern administrative district of Kirchberg (home to the philharmonic orchestra and congress centre, among other things) as we pass by a construction site,” says Jan Hrdina, Map Lead for Euro Truck Simulator 2.

As players continue across the bridge, the skyline of Kirchberg unfolds, a district known for its European institutions, cultural venues, and clean, contemporary architecture. The Kirchberg construction site, with the congress centre rising behind it, adds life and motion to the route, reminding drivers that Luxembourg is a city constantly evolving and expanding. Eventually, the road dips beneath the towering structure of the Grand Duchess Charlotte Bridge itself, offering a view from the underpass that highlights just how high the city’s upper quarters stand.

Descending into the northern valley, the atmosphere shifts as drivers enter Luxembourg’s industrial zone. Here, the steelworks factory serves as one of the central delivery hubs, accompanied by a supermarket, a truck dealer, and other depots that reflect the city’s working backbone. This area stands in vivid contrast to the elegant districts above, but it forms an essential part of Luxembourg’s character and economy. Further exploration will bring players near the iconic Three Towers, a landmark that adds yet another layer of architectural history to the map.

Luxembourg City may be one of Europe’s smallest capitals, but in terms of atmosphere, variety, and depth, it offers an experience that is anything but small. We are excited to bring this reworked city to ETS2 and raise it to the quality standard our players expect.

Hopefully, you enjoyed this preview of Luxembourg's capital, but please keep in mind that this project is still a work in progress. Until next time, be sure to keep up to date with the latest updates by following us on X/Twitter, Facebook, BlueSky, YouTube, and Instagram, and by subscribing to our newsletter. Safe travels and happy haulin'!
