Escher Theater

The Escher Theatre is located on Rue de l'Alzette, right next to the Resistance Museum. Since 1962, theatre performances and other cultural activities have been held continuously under the guidance of dedicated directors. The building has undergone a number of transformations over the years to ensure that visitors and staff alike can enjoy extraordinary experiences.
In addition to these changes, the theatre’s management has successfully adapted the building to meet the needs of people with disabilities.

Public transport is available to the site, and there is an underground car park 100 metres away.
For bus routes, please visit the website under ‘Practical Information’.

Apart from the car park described in the appendix, visitors can use the Adapto service; to park, please drive round the back of the building onto Rue Louis Pasteur
