The most popular day trips from Lucerne include visiting the capital city of Bern with charming Thun, exploring the dramatic Alpine scenery of Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen valley, discovering Basel and the Rhine Falls at Schaffhausen, and journeying to the Italian-speaking Ticino region.
Switzerland has four official languages: German, French, Italian, and Romansh. In the Lucerne area, Swiss German is predominantly spoken, though standard German is understood. English is widely spoken in tourist areas, hotels, and restaurants, making communication easy for international visitors.
Switzerland uses the Swiss Franc (CHF) as its currency. While not part of the Eurozone, Euros are sometimes accepted in tourist areas, though change is given in Swiss Francs. Credit cards are widely accepted, and ATMs are abundant. Switzerland can be expensive, so budget accordingly.
The best time to visit Lucerne is during late spring through early autumn (May-September) for the warmest weather and best mountain views. Summer offers hiking and outdoor activities, while winter provides Christmas markets and winter sports. Weather can change quickly in mountain regions.
Pack layers for changing mountain weather, comfortable walking shoes with good grip, waterproof jacket for potential rain, warm clothing even in summer for high altitudes, and sun protection. Bring a camera for stunning Alpine scenery, water, and Swiss Francs for purchases.
Interlaken is approximately 31 miles (50 km) from Lucerne through scenic mountain routes.
Lucerne and Switzerland overall are extremely safe for travelers with very low crime rates and excellent infrastructure. The country has political stability and high safety standards.
