The twelve towns of Luxembourg have special legal status and are appointed by law.
In general, these are larger settlements of a few thousand people and of regional importance.
They might be isolated hamlets or farms that are located outside of villages, but are often administered as part of the nearest locality.
In this list, settlements fitting none of the criteria of towns or villages are classified as "lieu-dit".
In Luxembourg, Lieux-dits are signposted by monolingual white streetsigns, showing only the luxembourgish name of the locality.
