Here you can stroll comfortably along the water, enjoy the fresh sea air and let your gaze wander over the lake and the surrounding mountains 🏞️⛰️. The promenade connects the Transport Museum with the lake shore and invites you to linger – whether on a bench, during a picnic, or simply while watching the boats and swans 🦢🚤.

View over Lake Lucerne

Highlight • Viewpoint

The beautiful long promenade offers a similarly magnificent view for almost its entire length. The further away from the center, the quieter and more pleasant the experience.

Main entrance of Lucerne railway station

Highlight • Monument

The current station, inaugurated in 1991, is the third in an eventful history.
The first Lucerne station in 1856 was built from wood and used as the terminus of a main line of the Swiss Central Railway Company. This line carried rail traffic from France and Germany via Basel and Olten into Switzerland and as far as Lucerne. The station was served along what is now Pilatusstrasse. Designed as a terminus station, it was located directly on the lake at the landing stage of the Lake Lucerne Shipping Company.
The second Lucerne station in 1896 was completely rebuilt. A building with an impressive glass dome was created.
Fire
Unfortunately, the Lucerne station, inaugurated in 1896, fell victim to a fire on February 5, 1971. Only the iron structure of the platform hall could withstand the blazing embers. But the station's landmark, the striking glass dome from the 19th century, collapsed and disappeared from the cityscape. The cause of the fire is said to have been a blowtorch that was being used for roof work. Only a makeshift repair of the system was able to ensure continued operation.
New building
Reconstruction was not attempted and instead a comprehensive redesign of the station area began. In 1980, the SBB (Swiss Federal Railways) and the PTT (state authority for postal, telephone and fax services) together with the city and canton of Lucerne launched an architectural competition for a redesign of Lucerne station. The architects Hans-Peter Ammann and Peter Baumann were awarded the contract. The famous Spanish-Swiss architect, civil engineer and artist Santiago Calatrava, who was working for Ammann and Baumann at the time, is responsible for the bold and generously designed station hall made of glass and concrete.
Inauguration
The new Lucerne station was officially inaugurated in 1991. The historic entrance gate, which was rebuilt towards the lake, is reminiscent of the station that opened in 1896 with its 42-meter-high dome. This archway is crowned by the sculpture "Zeitgeist" by the most famous Swiss sculptor of the time, Richard Kissling.

View of Lucerne

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Nationalquai becomes the Luzernerquai here, but the proximity to the shore remains the same.

While the promenade is still very busy near the old town, it becomes quieter and quieter the further away you get.
