The KKL is perfectly positioned next to the central railway station. So, it is easily accessible even if you don't stay in Lucerne. The view from the building over the Lake of Lucerne and the town is just thrilling, especially when you attend an evening concert and you watch the town from the top floor. The layout emulates a ship.... More

The KKL (culture and convention center) occupies an idyllic setting on the Vierwaldstattersee (Lake Lucerne), just behind the train station in the center of Lucerne.
