The Vël'Ok are available around the clock, seven days a week. There are currently several hundreds of bikes spread over more than 100 stations in 9 municipalities in the south of Luxembourg. Take advantage, Vël'Ok is completely free! The Vël'Ok service functions with a VëlOK NFC-card and the mKaart: All you have to do is insert this card in the electronic terminal of the station, and a Vël'Ok bicycle is released. When you borrow a Vël'OK bicycle, the period of use is limited to 2 hours, so that everyone can find a bike available when s/he needs one. Please comply with this principle, and share in the Vël'OK spirit!

Formerly a furniture store, the city acquired this building in 2020 to transform it into Konschthal Esch – a Space for Contemporary Art. The transformation of the building lasted until mid-2022. With a full surface area of nearly 2400 m2, the Konschthal enjoys the benefits of exceptional spaces on 4 levels. A far cry from the classic White Cube, with its spaces stripped down, weight-bearing elements and rough-hewn structures such as concrete slabs and metal beams give it its unique appearance. Initially, the Konschthal will also play an important role in a socio-cultural and local context, promoting dialogue between generations and becoming a place of exchanges where history, the present and the future are part of the programme.

Having opened in 1956, the National Museum of Resistance and Human Rights of Esch shows how the population of Luxembourg resisted the Nazi occupation during the second world war, what life was like in the concentration camps and the fate of Jews in Luxembourg. More recently, following a sensitive restoration of the building, the museum has expanded its remit to include exhibitions and events which explore the notion of human rights, citizenship, and the importance of historical memory.
