Can somebody explain where the three different Luxembourgs are located?
I was putting destination in kayak and came to know that there are three different Luxembourgs. According to kayak it is as below -
- Luxembourg - This is apparently the country with orage-white-blue shaded flag.
- Another Luxembourg is Luxembourg, Belgium
- The last one is Luxembourg, Mosel, Europe.
I am guessing these are 3 different places. I am looking for the one which is supposed to be near Schengen area, where the European agreement was signed. Does anybody have a clue which one is it?

"Luxembourg" refers to various parts of a former medieval Duchy of that name.
The namesake part of the Duchy is a country of that name. To the west is a former part of the country that was occupied by Belgium in 1839, and is the (Belgian) province of Luxembourg.
"Luxembourg" could refer to one (of three) districts in the country that goes by that name.
Finally, it could refer to the capital city (located in the district mentioned above).
