Naturism in Luxembourg: laws and customs
Updated October 24, 2026
In Luxembourg naturism is practised in private venues, which the tourist board itself promotes. There is no culture of nudity in public places, and the law on indecency is vague.

An increasingly secular country where naturism is accepted in private venues, but without a culture of nudity in public places.
What the law says
Article 385 of the Criminal Code punishes anyone who "aura publiquement outragé les mœurs par des actions qui blessent la pudeur", meaning anyone who publicly offends decency: 8 days to 3 years in prison and a fine of €251 to €25,000 (Legilux, Code pénal).
The law does not mention nudity. How judges treat simple nudity without sexual behaviour is unclear, and there is no record of the law being used against naturists.
Where you can be naked
- Beaches: we found no public naturist beaches.
- Naturist stays: naturism is practised in private venues. The national tourist board presents the De Reenert campsite, in Heiderscheid, as "le camping naturiste dans les Ardennes luxembourgeoises" (Visit Luxembourg). You'll find the venues in the list of naturist stays in Luxembourg.
The local mood
In Luxembourg naturism is accepted, and even promoted, in private venues, but there is no culture of nudity in public places. The country, small and wedged between Belgium, France and Germany, is increasingly secular: the share of people who identify with traditional religious beliefs fell from 75% to 48% between 2008 and 2021 (Statec, 2023).
Sources are scarce, though: we found no surveys or first-hand accounts about nudity.
Naturist associations
- FeLuNat, Luxembourgish Naturist Federation: the national federation, a member of the INF-FNI, the international federation.
Whether venues ask for a membership card has not been verified: it's best to ask beforehand.
LGBTQ+ travellers
No legal risk: same-sex relations have been legal since 1795 and since 2015 same-sex couples can adopt jointly (ILGA).
