Intro

During the Advent season, Lucerne shines in a very special glow. Twinkling lights illuminate the picturesque alleyways and Lake Lucerne glistens serenely in all its beauty. A light scent of winter chill, mixed with cinnamon and mulled wine, wafts through the city. It's Christmas time in the city of lights.

The shores of Lake Lucerne reflect the festively decorated houses and the majestic mountains, and the snow-covered peaks lend the scenery a particularly fairytale-like atmosphere. Skiing, sledging, ice skating, cross-country skiing or a winter hike: countless winter adventures await you in the Lucerne-Lake Lucerne Region.

In magical Lucerne, a magic awakens during the Advent season that casts a spell over everyone. Twinkling lights and Christmas music lead visitors from Christmas market to Christmas market, where they are spoiled with regional and international delicacies. Local producers showcase their handicrafts - the perfect opportunity to buy those last-minute Christmas presents.

During the city tour "Tannengrün und Lichterglanz", a guide reveals the secrets of Santa Claus and the Christ Child and explains how the Christmas tree finds its way into the warm living room, how the lights find their place and much more. Advent in Lucerne is a time of wonder and contemplation, when people come together to enjoy the warmth and magic of this special time of year.
