Belair (Luxembourgish pronunciation: [bæˈlɛːɐ̯] ; formerly Neumerl) is a quarter in western Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg.
From 1931 to 2021, Belair was the location of Luxembourg's national stadium, rebuilt in 1990, the Stade Josy Barthel, named after Luxembourg's only Olympic gold medal winner.[3] In September 2021, it was officially replaced by the newly built Stade de Luxembourg and is due to be demolished and replaced with a new mixed use neighbourhood named "Wunnquartier Stade".[4]
Luxembourg City's main fire station and the Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg hospital are based within Belair.[citation needed]
As of 31 December 2022[update], Belair has a population of 12,613 inhabitants.[2]
