Luxembourg has a lot of great places for you to capture your visit at. All from castles, museums to skateparks. It just depends on what you are looking for, the vibe you want. It is possible to find it all during your visit.
I have listed down a few photo spot suggestions for you, with all different vibes and esthetic. Personally I love castles and ruins, but I cannot deny the modern and clean pictures as well.

In Luxembourg City
Here are four suggestions for while you are in the city and just enjoying your time there. While walking around you might suddenly find a good spot, but if you want to walk while targeting a good photo spot, here are my suggestions.
Casemates du Bock
This previously was a subterranean defence system with many kilometers of tunnels. There are a lot of twist and turns here and is not made for wheelchair users. Sometime I would follow a tunnel for it to be a deadend and I would have to go back.
The holes let`s you look out at Luxembourg city, but it is also makes for a unique and gorgeous frame for your photos. Even the tunnels itself will give you a mysterious backdrop.
Even if this is not your idea of a photo spot, it is still worth a visit to see the history and experience the tunnels.
Neumünster Abbey
On this side of the small river is a pink mermaid you can take a picture with. Though I wanted to there was a guy taking a photo there from when I first saw it to I returned, about 20 minutes later. Since it was a heatwave I decided to keep exploring, but the other side of the river also makes for a beautiful background for your photos.
Mudam Museum of Modern Art
The museum was built in 2006 and supports all the creatives. The building itself is great for photos both inside and outside. While inside you will get the sun shining through the impossible large windows, while outside the eye captivating building will make a unique backdrop. This one I simply passed by and later I had regrets about not stopping for a photo here.
Skatepark Péitruss
Even if you do not skate, this place is a great photo spot as it lays right below La Passerelle, one of the bridges in Luxembourg city. The big arches of the bridge will make a gorgeous backdrop for your photos and will be able to frame you beautifully.
Outside of Luxembourg City
There are so many places that are beautiful photo spots outside of Luxembourg City as well. They are a bit more spread out and if you are traveling by public transportation it might take some time to travel between each of them. It is still a small country and very doable to visit more than one of these.
Vianden Castle
You can take a picture while you are walking to the castle or inside of it. I will say that the inside was my favorite as it had these big windows with big arches that you could sit in. A lady that was passing by was so lovely and helped me take a couple of photos in one of the windows. It is not just one window, so there is no line and the view from each window is a little bit different to the next. There are also windows on both sides of the room, making it plenty to chose from.
As for the outside you will need a bit of a distance, but while walking up to the castle you can get it nicely in the background or from the car park. If you are walking back down the hill towards the town, you will see some trees just as you turn left and start walking downwards. If you see a bench under the trees, go to it. The bench is placed in a perfect viewing of the castle. If you are two this is the spot where you can get the trees as a frame for your photo and Vianden Castle in the background.
The street beneath Viandend Castle
Just where the bus stops by Vianden Castle is a river which will make for a great spot alongside of it. On either side. You might not be able to get the castle in the background on both sides of the river, but no matter the side it will be a good picture. If you want a prop there are quite a few places that are selling ice cream where the bus stops that you can buy. If it is a heatwave like when I visited, the ice cream might not last the walk back to the spot you want to take a photo at. But this is anyway a beautiful location and it is also possible to take it from the bridge where I took my photo from.
The garden of Grand Chateau d’Ansembourg
This is about 50 minutes outside of Luxembourg City by bus, but with both public transportation and the entrance being free, this is a free trip. There is however a donation box at the entrance and it is always nice to support the gardeners that are responsible for the castle grounds.
The garden has so many spots for you to choose from, the different angles you can get and the vibe is just amazing. I would suggest putting on your prettiest dress or outfit and take as many pictures as possible here.
Larochette Castle
Larochette Castle is a charming castle, though it is mostly just ruins left standing. Though it has quite many good photo spots, my favorite is the little bench under the tree. There are a lot of possibilities with that one and it gives a bit of a romanticised vibe and visual. I am just picturing a lovely photo together with a book or a a couple sitting there together. The possibilities are endless, but it just gave an effortless and romantic vibe to me while I was looking at it.
Larochette Castle also has a cafe and bar, so maybe a picture with a nice glass of red wine would be more your style. Though I am not sure what kind of wines they have, I simply had a local soda while waiting for my bus. The bus does not stop here, so you will have to walk a bit between the castle and bus stop.
This was my short list of photo spots. There are so many more. Also some I have not been to, but I have seen while scrolling online. I do however only vouch for places I have seen or passed by and later thought of the missed opportunity.
