Nice place to visit. We took the train Basel to Lucerne for the short day trip. The lake is beautiful with lots of places to relax shop and many restaurants around with great views. We took the ferry lake Lucerne to Bürgenstock only an hour return journey which was sufficient having only a limited time here. Definitely recommend this place.

Amazing scenic lake - beautifully blue water. Lots of sections to the lake - not just oval in shape & edges are steep. Lots of boat activity on lake & loads to do water sports wise. Beautiful towns & villages surround the lake

We just returned from what I think was our 6th stay on Lake Lucerne. We just seem to be drawn back even though to different locations on the lake. We have stayed in Beckenreid, Hergiswil and in Hertenstein. We have stayed twice in each of these locations. Having a rental car makes it easy to drive around parts of the lake and visit some of the small towns like Brunnen, near by to Weggis. The mountain views are spectacular and the smaller villages are pristine. Always ready to return.

Take a cruise on the lake - it is stunning, with a backdrop of mountains and punctuated by little towns, villages and settlements along the coastline. The water is pristine and often changes colour. Better still, if you're heading to the Gotthard Panorama Express, catch the paddle steamer all the way to Fluelen, a trip of about 2.75 hours and the scenery just gets better and better (have your camera ready). If that is what you are doing, then you can book your luggage through to the train at the departure point in Luzern, so you don't have to worry about carrying it on board.

My partner and I were on a coach touring the area and had a day in Lucerne on Boxing Day. Few shops were open but the town was busy. We had coffee before doing a lake cruise which was very enjoyable with an interesting guide. Visit the wooden bridge. The town is well worth visiting.

Lake Lucerne was another beautiful lake that we saw in Switzerland. At Lucerne, the lake had mooring facilities for steamers and a broad pedestrian walkway to enjoy fair length of the beautiful water front that was close to the city. There were many species of wetland birds including Mute Swans, many types of Ducks, Gulls, Coots etc. The 19th century steamers were an added attraction with each steamer having its own character and elegance. Lake was a very convenient passage to travel to Beckenried, Brunnen, Fluelen, Vitznau and Weggis. Lake Lucerne’s beauty was enhanced by the bordering mountain ranges that were visible in its far side. To see its beautiful surroundings and feel the environment we did a boat tour which took us deeper to the interior. We were able to discover the hidden charm and tranquility. Awesome!

We were lucky to visit when the weather was sunny and clear and we were able to walk along both sides of the lake around the town. We also took a ferry trip and enjoyed the lake and villages surrounded by the beautiful mountains. Beautiful

We stayed in Lucerne for a week on our honeymoon. Lucerne is beautiful and gives you the lake, mountains, beautiful buildings, and restaurants to chill out in. It is not a budget break, but use the Co op and Migros stores to buy picnic food some days. We visited the Lido near the transport museum. Use your free city pass to travel on the buses. At the Lido it is £8 for adults to get in. £8 for an umbrella and £8 for a sunbed. Well worth it for the day. There is a beach, a swimming pool and the lake to swim in. There are lockers and changing facilities. 2 francs for a locker. Overall, it's a lovely holiday.
