Le Palais Arlon
For some years now, the Palais d'Arlon has been a major cultural centre for Arlon and the region. Today, this emblematic venue is part of the city's cultural wealth and bears witness to a desire to make Arlon shine culturally, both here and beyond its borders.
A veritable meeting place for all cultural styles (concerts, theatre, exhibitions, fashion shows, ephemeral boutiques, conferences, etc.), this space has found its place in the socio-cultural life of Arlon and its region through the events it organises. Shopkeepers, associations and businesses also make it their own from time to time, turning it into an extension of their business for an evening or a few days, in a different and prestigious setting.
