Safest (or preferred) driving route from Luxembourg to Bastogne (War Museum)?

Posted by on

Hi all!
I saw that there Google maps seems give three main routes as choices to drive from Luxembourg airport to Bastogne. Does anyone feel that one is better than the other for someone driving first the first time in Europe? Is one a safer, easier, or less confusing to drive? My apologies in advance if these motorways go by different names! Thanks so much, everyone!

1st: A7 to the E421 to the 7 to the 15 to the 12 back to the 15 and then to the N84

2nd: A1 to the A6 to the E25 to the N84

3rd: A1 to the A6 to the E25 to the N82 to the N4 to the N84

Usually Google Maps recommends the fastest, most direct route as its primary choice. In this case it (the A7) avoids driving through the city, which is usually preferred.

The 2nd one is the easiest, safest and less confusing one.
As soon as you are driving on the A 1 you will ALWAYS follow direction BRUXELLES (blue panels) https://maps.app.goo.gl/Naw8hrSyWdix4o1i6

until arriving at this point from where you follow BASTOGNE (no longer Brussels) https://maps.app.goo.gl/4wYTDkMd5kTYu6ZB9

To join the N85, you exit here (Villeroux) https://maps.app.goo.gl/f7GQyrQQKKJBa7CT6

and immediately after that follow Bastogne https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZYyuHMutVfkPVzLg9

I don't understand CJean's comment since none of your three routes go through the city center.

PS: Use a navigation app on your phone to direct you through Bastogne to reach the War Museum. If you have no data plan for your phone, don't forget to download a map in advance for offline navigation.
