This attractive, small city is the cultural heart of Switzerland and is an hour's drive from Zurich. No fewer than eighty festivals take place throughout the year on the shores of Lake Lucerne against a backdrop of mountain scenery – the Kirker Concierge would be delighted to supply you with details of these and to acquire tickets for the city's symphony orchestra hall.

This delightful boutique hotel is located in the heart of Lucerne, on the banks of the Reuss River. The 56 rooms combine the historic elegance of the original building with contemporary design – our favourites are the junior suites which have views over the river.
This flight-free itinerary combines high-speed Eurostar and TGV to reach Basel in around 6 ½ hours via Paris. Visit one of the many art galleries before continuing to Lucerne, from where you may ascend mountains, cruise the crystal-clear waters or meander the mediaeval streets.
For the ultimate lakes and mountains experience we recommend combining Lucerne, Interlaken and Lausanne using Switzerland's efficient and scenic rail network.
