Climate in Luxemburg and weather forecast - best seasons for visit
If you are a fan of a bright and extreme winter holiday, then you should probably plan your trip from the first days of December. However, it is worth considering that the ski season in the country lasts for only three months, until the end of February. To choose the exact date of your trip, a study of the specific weather conditions is required. This is because the excessively mild climate often does not allow fans of skis and sledges to enjoy all winter sports. Notwithstanding, you can also add variety to your vacation experience by attending some delightful theatrical performances as it is in the winter season that the major premieres, and various theatrical and film festivals are held in Luxembourg. And of course we cannot fail to mention the magnificent celebrations of Christmas and New Year.

Atmosphere of Luxemburg: religion and languages
As for the religious views of the local population in Luxembourg, Christianity dominates. About 70% of all citizens of the Duchy consider themselves Catholics. On the other hand, there are no more than 5,000 adherents of the Orthodox faith here. Protestants consider themselves to be about 3% of the population. With each year however, this figure is seen to reduce due to the unpopularity of this religious direction. All religious relations with the State began to be regulated 19 years ago. To this end, there are special conventions designed to regulate the relationship between existing religions and the State itself. At the same time, Luxembourg finances the maintenance of all Christian churches, houses of priests and clergymen, and the erection of new religious buildings. All that is spent annually to this regard is known to reach the sum of at least 60 million euros.
