A modern, international district on the move
Belval offers a resolutely contemporary and urban atmosphere. The former industrial installations now stand alongside modern apartment buildings, offices, public spaces, shops and university buildings.
The former blast furnaces, preserved in the heart of the district, recall its important steelmaking past and give Belval an architecture and atmosphere found nowhere else in Luxembourg.
The district attracts a particularly diverse population: students, researchers, families, young professionals and people working in the south of the country. This diversity helps to create a dynamic and international atmosphere.
Schools, university and family life
Education is one of the key elements of Belval's identity.
The district is home to the main campus of the University of Luxembourg, including the Maison du Savoir, the Maison des Sciences Humaines, the Luxembourg Learning Centre, research buildings and student housing.
Belval and the neighbouring areas also benefit from the schools of Esch-sur-Alzette and the municipality of Sanem. A school bus line notably links Belval to the Generatiounscampus Wobrecken in Esch-sur-Alzette.
Recent housing, public spaces and many facilities are gradually strengthening the residential and family character of the district.
Shops and services
Belval offers a particularly comprehensive range of shops, restaurants, cafés and services.
The Belval Plaza area is one of the district's main retail hubs, with boutiques, restaurants and leisure. The avenues around the University and the Rockhal are also home to many restaurants, cafés and services within easy walking distance.
This layout makes it possible to combine living, working, studying, shopping and leisure in a relatively compact setting.
The immediate proximity of Esch-sur-Alzette and Belvaux further extends this offer and gives access to all the services available in the neighbouring municipalities.
Transport and mobility
Mobility is one of Belval's great assets.
Belval-Université station lies right in the heart of the district and provides easy connections to Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg City and the other municipalities in the south of the country. The station is just a few minutes' walk from the Rockhal.
Many TICE and RGTR lines also serve Belval, connecting it to Esch-sur-Alzette, Differdange, Schifflange and other localities in the south, as well as Luxembourg City.
The district also has a P+R, car parks, cycling infrastructure and the Vëlodukt, which makes getting around by bike easier.
Leisure, culture and setting
Belval has become one of the main cultural and leisure hubs of southern Luxembourg.
The Rockhal, the country's main concert venue, hosts international artists, festivals and events throughout the year.
The former blast furnaces are also an emblematic feature of the district and bear witness to its industrial past.
Added to this are the public spaces, restaurants, cafés, cinema and events organised around the University and Belval Plaza, giving the district a particularly dynamic life.
Property in Belval
The Belval property market is mainly characterised by a contemporary offer, made up of recent apartments, modern residences and new projects integrated into the urban development.
The district particularly attracts young professionals, investors and international buyers looking for a home close to the University, businesses and public transport.
The large student and professional population also helps to support the rental market.
Belval is thus a particularly interesting alternative for those who wish to invest or live in a modern and dynamic district in the south of Luxembourg.
Living in Belval
Choosing Belval means living in a modern district where housing, studies, work, culture, shops and transport come together in a single setting.
Its university, station, many restaurants and shops, cultural life and regenerated industrial architecture give it a particularly strong identity in Luxembourg.
Belval in a few words: modern, university, international, cultural, dynamic and extremely well connected.
