Nordstad
Diekirch, Ettelbruck and their four neighbours have been developing since 2006 as a single conurbation under a shared master plan: the state's answer to everything concentrating in the south. Ettelbruck's rail junction puts the capital about thirty minutes away, which makes it the gateway to the north.

These regions are not administrative units and they overlap — the Nordstad sits in both the Éislek and the Guttland. The split follows the tourist regions published by Visit Luxembourg, plus the Nordstad, which is a real six-commune grouping; where an edge is fuzzy, a commune is assigned on its canton.
