The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is divided into cantons, which group the communes (= municipalities). A dozen of the communes have official city status, and one, Luxembourg City, is unofficially further divided into quarters.

Districts

Luxembourg was divided into three districts until their abolition in October 2015:

• Diekirch
• Grevenmacher
• Luxembourg

Cantons

There are a total of 12 cantons, which were previously a subdivision of the districts but are now the first-level subdivision of Luxembourg:

• Capellen
• Clervaux
• Diekirch
• Echternach
• Esch-sur-Alzette
• Grevenmacher
• Luxembourg
• Mersch
• Redange
• Remich
• Vianden
• Wiltz

Communes

The communes (municipalities) are the lowest administrative division in Luxembourg. They were first created during the French Revolution. As of 2020, there were 102 communes.

Cities

12 communes have legal city status. Luxembourg City, the nation's capital, is the largest city in the country.

Quarters of Luxembourg City

Below the official administrative level of the commune, Luxembourg City has further unofficial administrative subdivisions, known as quarters. The twenty-four quarters of Luxembourg City are a de facto subdivision without legal basis used to simplify public administration.

Constituencies

There are four electoral constituencies of Luxembourg: Centre, East, North, and South.
