The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is divided into cantons, which group the communes (=municipalities). A dozen of the communes have official city status, and one, Luxembourg City, is further divided into quarters (unofficial subdivision).

Districts[]
Luxembourg was divided into three districts until October 2015:
Cantons[]
There are a total of 12 cantons, which were previously a subdivision of the districts but are now the first-level subdivision of Luxembourg.
Communes[]
The communes (municipalities) are the lowest administrative division in Luxembourg.
Cities[]
12 communes have legal city status, some since the early Middle Ages. The City of Luxembourg, the nation's capital, is the largest city in the country.
Quarters of Luxembourg City[]
Below the official administrative level of the commune, Luxembourg City has further unofficial administrative subdivisions, known as quarters. The twenty-four quarters of Luxembourg City are a de facto subdivision without legal basis used to simplify public administration.
