Cantons of Luxembourg
Luxembourg is divided into three districts, which are subdivided into twelve cantons, which are subdivided into 118 communes. Each
canton has a level-4 NUTS code, and each commune, a level-5 code. Statec has also assigned each commune a numeric code, in which
the first segment identifies the canton.
