Franziskanerplatz, Lucerne

It’s time for the Lucerne Christmas Market (Lozärner Wiehnachtsmärt)! This stunning Christmas market in Switzerland takes over the streets of Lucerne from December 5 to 22, and it is the perfect place to buy a great gift.

A stunning Christmas market in Lucerne

During the market, the area around Franziskanerplatz is decorated for the Christmas season, transforming it into a small village with an abundance of shops that resemble timber houses. The market takes place in Lucerne’s old town, and has a cosy, soft Christmas atmosphere; let's cross our fingers for the perfect Christmas weather!

The 70 or so market shops offer a variety of goods, especially gift items; also, there is a wealth of food and drinks to enjoy. If you are bringing your children, they are sure to enjoy the lively music and the carousels. While it can be handy to bring cash along with you, many of the stalls will also accept bank cards and Twint!

Lucerne Christmas Market is open from 11am-8pm every day, with the food stalls remaining open until 9pm. On the last day, it closes a little earlier at 7pm.

If you want to see this amazing market for yourself, then check out the Lucerne Christmas Market's official website, which offers deals on hotels, activities in Lucerne and other Swiss cities, public transportation, excursions to mountains and lakes, and all the information.
