Lucerne

By ship

Lucerne sits at the north end of the Vierwaldstättersee, one of the busiest waterways in Switzerland, for travel information from Schwyz, Flüelen, Weggis, and outbound points see the schedule at the Schifffahrt Vierwaldstättersee (http://www.lakelucerne.ch...).

By train

Thanks to its central location Lucerne can be reached easily from nearly every other city in Switzerland using the Swiss Federal Railway (http://www.rail.ch). There are hourly trains from Olten and Zurich Airport and half-hourly trains from Zurich, and a direct train every hour from Berne.

The "Zentralbahn" branch of the Swiss Federal Railway provides also hourly trains between Interlaken and Luzern during daytime.
