Arrival

The giant railway station of Luzerne opened in 1991 and replaced the 19th century original which burned to the ground in n1971. It is located at the south bank of the Reuss, exactly opposite to the point where lakes narrows into the river. Broad Pilatusstrasse runs southwest from Bahnhofplatz into the main shopping and commercial districts of the modern city. From the busy bus stops outside the station, the main Seebrücke heads over the Reuss alongside the ancient Kapellbrücke, the latter marked by the distinctive stone Wasserturm (water tower). The pedestrian-only alleys of the Old Town occupy the northern bank, with the city walls ranged on the slopes above. In summer (June–Sept), at least seven boats daily make the full run from Luzern to Flüelen, with several more serving Brunnen, Vitznau and other intermediate points. In autumn (Oct) and spring (April–May), service is only slightly curtailed in the evenings. Winter (Nov–March) sees two boats a day as far as Brunnen, with Sunday services only running on to Flüelen.
