Lucerne
Lucerne is Switzerland: The city, the lake, the mountains. Whatever you expect from a unique city, Lucerne will not disappoint you. The avant-garde, in the form of the futuristic KKL Culture and Convention Centre designed by Jean-Nouvel, is just as at home here as historic sites which have survived for centuries. The museums, theatres and festivals makes Lucerne a centre of culture, which elegantly holds its own amongst traditions and trends.
Lucerne is the gateway to a very special part of the world: Central Switzerland. And when we say central, we rally mean central. From the historic Rütli Meadow and the perpetual snow on Mt. Titlis to Lucerne’s landmark mountain, Mt. Pilatus, and the famous locations on the Lucerne Riviera, everything is within easy reach.
