Located in the heart of Switzerland, Luzerne fascinates by its maze of charming alleys, its little squares and its wooden bridges. Beyond its dreamlike atmosphere, Luzerne as vivid cultural life thanks to its International Music Festival created in 1938 when A. Toscanini directed a Gala Concert in front of R. Wagner’s house.


As soon as the summer festival draws to a close, Lucerne returns to a state of calm – but not silence. In addition to concerts in the modern ‘shoebox’ hall of the KKL, home of the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra and renowned for its acoustics, the Lucerne Theatre has been staging opera, dance and theatre in an intimate setting for over 180 years: the auditorium seats fewer than 500 people.
Experience the special charm of picturesque Lucerne, especially in winter, when the illuminated old town, with a little luck under a white winter blanket, invites you to stroll around.
