Most of the region is covered in railway tracks, most of which service(d) the mines. The bigger cities such as Dudelange, Esch-sur-Alzette, Differdange and Pétange can easily be accessed by rail.
While all of the cities can easily be explored on foot, getting from one city of town to another usually takes a long time and a lot of effort.
