Beautiful
Enjoyed the hour trip around the lake. Beautiful views, absolutely breathtaking. Clean yacht. I suggest going 10min before boarding time as it gets very very busy and crowded

Frequently Asked Questions
People Also Ask
Q:Is Lucerne, Switzerland worth visiting?
A:Yes, Lucerne is worth visiting, especially if you’re looking to experience a smaller Swiss city instead of a bigger city like Zurich and Bern. Some things worth seeing include Lake Lucerne, the city’s medieval architecture, and its picturesque mountain vistas. Plus, the city center is compact, making it perfect for car-free visitors.
Q:How many days in Lucerne is enough?
A:Two days in Lucerne is enough to cover old-town sightseeing, plus a Lake Lucerne cruise followed by a mountain adventure at nearby Mt. Pilatus or Mt. Rigi; however, a third day offers extra time to linger by Lucerne landmarks such as the Lion Monument and Chapel Bridge.
Q:What is the best month to visit Lucerne, Switzerland?
A:The best month to visit Lucerne really depends—June through September is when sunny days are common and outdoor adventure beckons, but Lucerne’s winter season still offers plenty of things to do, from skiing in the snowy mountains to its Christmas markets in December and its wild Fasnacht carnival in February.
Q:Is Lucerne a walkable city?
A:Yes, Lucerne is a walkable city with its key sightseeing areas around the old town and new town that straddle the Reuss River. Wear comfy shoes to conquer the cobblestone streets with ease, and if you have extra time, schedule a walk around the city’s Musegg Wall, too.
Q:How expensive is Lucerne?
A:Like every city in Switzerland, Lucerne is expensive when compared to other cities in Europe. Budget-conscious travelers can consider self-catering apartments with kitchens away from the old town area to save money. Also, Swiss supermarkets like Coop, Migros, or Aldi are all worth browsing for picnic-style fare for lunches out.
Q:Can I speak English in Lucerne?
A:Yes, you can speak English in Lucene. While the official language in Lucerne is German, most Swiss people speak English well, too. You won’t have any problems communicating in English in this tourist-friendly town, although making the effort to speak a few words in German always is greatly appreciated by locals.
