The quaint Swiss city of Lucerne is a major highlight on Rhine River cruises that generally start in Zurich then travel to Lucerne by land before boarding your luxury-class riverboat in Basel and sailing the length of the legendary Rhine River through Germany and France all the way to Amsterdam. This charming town boasts picture-postcard beauty, with an ancient covered wooden bridge, candy-colored houses, and that relaxing atmosphere characteristic of central Europe. As you travel between Switzerland's Zurich and Basel, you will spend just under two days exploring delightful Lucerne, including a trip to scenic Lake Lucerne.
A trip to Lucerne during the Christmas market season is magical. The Lucerne Christmas Market fills the city with lights, music, and festive stalls. You can check Lucerne Christmas Market dates before you go and plan your time around the best events. Stroll along the Lucerne river, enjoy the views, and taste local treats. We offer Lucerne trip packages and Lucerne vacation packages that make planning easy. Our Trip Planners can help you create a holiday you’ll never forget.”
