I was born and raised in Luzern. But once in a while I take the City Train with my students.

Even including a pair of headphones that you can keep at the end of the ride. Staff here always does an amazing job. Always very friendly, in good mood and providing some extra info and entertainment. The ride goes along many big sights of course. But also a part is in the "Neustadt" (the newer part of town). I found that very nice, also to show a bit lesser known and popular parts of the city. The ride takes 45mins. There were many seats empty, even though it was a picture perfect sunny day. You can just show up and hope for empty seats or pre-book on their website. For bigger groups surely a thing you should consider. Even if you make a reservation, you pay when you arrive - no payment needed in advance. The audio guide offers a big number of languages, also a kid-friendly guide in german. The train rides also on wet days, but of course it's a lot more fun on a sunny day. It's well worth the price. The guides do a great job here. We will definitely be back.

This is a great way to explore the city, especially if you're short on time or traveling Lucerne…read morefor the first time.

The train itself is clean and comfortable, and the ride feels smooth and well-organized. The audio commentary is informative and gives helpful background about the city's history and landmarks, making it more than just a sightseeing ride. Audio recording is available in many languages. Staff were friendly and efficient.
