  Luzerner Fasnacht

  1 feb – 12 mrt · meestalCarnavalDrukBoek vroeg

  It goes off with a bang at five in the morning on Schmutziger Donnerstag and runs to Tuesday: masked Guuggenmusigen playing deliberately out of tune, confetti a foot deep on Kapellbrücke. Rougher and louder than Basel's version. Bron ↗

  Coach and day-trip hours

  1 apr – 31 okt · meestalDrukte van dagjesmensenDruk

  Lucerne is the standard one-day stop on every Swiss coach tour, so the Chapel Bridge and the Lion Monument are a scrum from mid-morning to late afternoon. Before nine and after six it is a quiet lakeside town.

• Seizoen

  Paddle steamer season

  1 apr – 25 okt · meestalZomerseizoen opent

  Five Belle Époque paddle steamers work the lake in season and drop to a token winter service after. The boat to Alpnachstad or Vitznau is how you reach the mountain railways without a car. Bron ↗

  10 mei – 15 nov · meestalWandelseizoenSluitingen

  The steepest cogwheel railway in the world only runs when the track is clear of snow, roughly May to November; in winter the mountain is cable car only from the other side. Snow at the top can delay the opening by weeks. Bron ↗

  Advent on the lakefront

  25 nov – 24 dec · meestalKerst & nieuwjaar

  Small markets on Franziskanerplatz and by the station rather than a single big one, with a Christmas boat doing loops of the lake. Short days, lit bridges, and far fewer coaches than in summer. Bron ↗
