The Luxembourg stamp
Every country in Globestamp has its own stamp, drawn after a real entry stamp. Its finish shows how few travelers get there. Luxembourg’s is Hologram: cracked ice, a mosaic of small mirrors, the finish for places with 500,000 to 2 million visitors a year. With 1 million international arrivals in 2019, Luxembourg is rarer than 66% of the 199 places with figures. See every stamp on the stamp wall, or the rarest on the least-visited countries.
What counts as a visit to Luxembourg
The common rule among travelers is that you set foot there: an airport layover usually doesn’t count, and a port where you went ashore does. Globestamp counts Luxembourg when one of your photos was taken on its ground, or just off its coast; a photo taken from a plane never counts. With a single airport with scheduled flights (Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, LUX), photos only at the airport make a transit stamp, counted only if you count layovers.

Places in Luxembourg you can collect
Under the country itself, Globestamp keeps layers of places on your globe, and a photo taken at one ticks it. These are the ones it knows in Luxembourg, from 1 World Heritage Site.

3 districts to fill in
Globestamp goes deeper than countries: its regions layer splits Luxembourg into 3 districts (Natural Earth’s first-level divisions), and each one fills in when a photo was taken there.
