With fantastic business infrastructure, all wrapped up in beautiful scenery and steeped in history, it’s no wonder this Swiss city is a popular corporate destination.
The largest population centre in German-speaking central Switzerland, Lucerne is a focus point for the region. Lying on Lake Lucerne and with a mountainous backdrop, business travellers coming to stay in serviced apartments in Lucerne will find an attractive and charming city with a colourful old town. Notable among its historic landmarks are the fourteenth century Chapel Bridge and the Musegg Wall, a medieval rampart which borders the north of the old town and sports nine towers along its almost nine-hundred metre length.
Lucerne is seen as one of Switzerland’s most business-friendly cities and is a popular place for seminars, congresses and similar events. As a compact city, it’s relatively easy to explore on foot, and both the Culture and Congress Centre (KKL) and the Exhibition Centre are close to the main railway station. The city also hosts a number of festivals, the yearly Fasnacht, or Carnival, which is held near the end of winter can last for up to four days, while the city also has separate classical music, jazz and blues festivals, as well as a number of folklore festivals.
