In Luzern

The principal hub for group and Asian traffic: the city recorded 1.49 million overnights in 2025 on a small stock. The arrival of the Mandarin Oriental Palace in 2022 added a top step for the first time in decades, and the market is still adjusting to it.

Seasonality
Summer, May–October
Access
An hour from Bern, forty-five minutes from Zurich, a navigable lake inside the city. That is why Lucerne works as a day stop for groups and carries disproportionate traffic on a small stock.
From Bern by rail
1 h 00, fast intercity
