Welcome to Zug. Visit the old town of Zug, founded around 1200, and stay here. The city on the lake is easy to distinguish from the city that was generously expanded in the 16th century. Four fortification towers of the last city wall are still preserved. The city is located on Lake Zug. Zug was an important freight transshipment point on the trade route between the cities of Zurich and Lucerne. The people of Zug learned the dangers of water twice, namely in 1435 and 1887, when parts of the city sank into the lake. Nevertheless, the lake is the most beautiful thing about Zug. Not only are the sunsets fascinating, but also the changing moods at any time of day throughout the year.

The old town of Zug is a true gem on the shores of Lake Zug. With its narrow, cobbled streets and historic buildings, it invites you to take a leisurely stroll. Here you can admire the well-preserved medieval structures that give the city its unique charm.

Zug's old town is probably one of the most impressive in Switzerland. And that's what someone who lives in Thun says. What's special about Zug's old town is its well-maintained infrastructure and its proximity to the lake. The hiker is offered an almost unbeatable mix of historical sightseeing and a relaxed stroll along the romantic lake promenade. It's worth studying the city map with all the sights before visiting Zug.
