Enjoy a relaxing, comfortable and rapid journey to Engelberg, an excellent day-trip destination. The newly-refurbished 1st class panorama coach of Luzern-Engelberg Express offers a particularly comfortable journey and spectacular views. The train will whisk you in just 47 minutes from the city, past Lake Lucerne and into the Engelberg valley, where you will pass through delightful villages nestling at the foot of increasingly steep and lofty mountains.

Voralpen-Express

The gentle side of Switzerland: It’s not all 4,000-metre mountains and deep ravines. On the Voralpen-Express, visitors discover a different kind of Switzerland – undulating hills, picturesque villages and lovely orchards.

Beromünster Radio Trail

The municipality of Beromünster is also known as the home of Swiss radio, because Radio Beromünster has ruled the airwaves of German-speaking Switzerland since the 1930s.. You can find out more about the radio’s history by hiking along the Beromünster Radio Trail.

Take a boat trip on the Saphir panorama yacht

The chic ambience, aqua terrace and gorgeous views of the lake, city and mountains all make for a relaxing and enjoyable trip. A boat trip on the Saphir panorama yacht around Lake Lucerne offers a feast for your senses.

Christmas in Lucerne

During the Advent season, Lucerne shines in a very special glow. Twinkling lights illuminate the picturesque alleyways and Lake Lucerne glistens serenely in all its beauty. A light scent of winter chill, mixed with cinnamon and mulled wine, wafts through the city. It's Christmas time in the city of lights.

Vögeligärtli Park

Where circus artists and people running stalls once entertained people, there is now what is without a doubt one of the most popular green spaces in the city of Lucerne: the Vögeligärtli. Its name – meaning the “bird garden” – comes from the aviary that was built in the park in 1901.
