What that means for planning
In Luxembourg, daylight swings by 8h 06min across the year. A schedule built around 16h 16min in June has only 8h 10min left in December — with the same setup count.
Concretely: in December, the sun in Luxembourg sets at 16:36, with golden hour starting as early as 15:40. Put the exterior at the end of the day and you shoot it in the dark, or not at all.
TillyGen folds each location's sun position straight into the schedule. An exterior that no longer fits before sunset in December is flagged in the plan, not discovered on the day. The same calculation sits behind every location page for this country.
Permits and local requirements
Filming permits are granted locally almost everywhere, not nationally: the city or district you shoot in is the responsible body, and processing times differ considerably within the same country. Public space, traffic areas and drone flights each run through separate procedures.
File early enough that a refusal still leaves room for a cover location — not so late that the permit becomes the condition for the only possible shoot day. Only the responsible local authority gives binding information.
Frequently asked
How many locations in Luxembourg are covered here?
1. Locations are included when there is an evidenced production landscape — not every town in the country.
Which location in Luxembourg has the longest shooting days?
In June, Luxembourg with 16h 16min of daylight. In December that drops to 8h 10min.
When is the best time to shoot in Luxembourg?
On daylight length alone, June. Whether that also means the steadiest weather depends on the location — the individual location pages carry rain days and sunshine hours per month.
Do I need a separate permit for every location?
As a rule yes, as soon as public ground is involved. Private locations run through the owner; traffic areas and drones add further procedures. The local authority is always the binding source.
