Lucerne & surroundings

We promise that once you have arrived in Lucerne, you will be enchanted. By the breath-taking lake and mountain panorama. By Lucerne's major landmark, the Chapel Bridge, which is considered to be Europe's oldest covered wooden bridge. By the world-famous dying lion carved out of stone. By the Musegg Wall with its unmissable towers. By the historical main entrance to the old railway station. By the old town with its houses adorned with frescos. By the impressive KKL Luzern culture and convention centre, and by other architectural highlights. And by many other museums, places of cultural interest and sacred buildings. And that is not all!

Lucerne as a centre of culture offers a wide range of events and festivals throughout the year. Visit the Lucerne Festival, the Lucerne carnival (Fasnacht), the Blue Balls Festival, the Lucerne Blues Festival, Fumetto or the Lucerne Theatre.

Do you have a little more time? Then travel up to the top of one of Lucerne's local mountains: Pilatus, Rigi, Stanserhorn and Bürgenstock. Combine this with a nostalgic paddle steamer ride. Or go for a swim, e.g. in the historical lakeside pool in Lake Lucerne.
