Luzerner Altstadt

The historic shopping mall under the open sky

In Lucerne's old town, everything sits close together, almost like a shopping centre, just without the artificial light. Instead of escalators and a food court, historic façades, winding alleyways, squares, fountains and bridges await. You stroll from shop to shop and find almost everything your heart desires: fashion, shoes, jewellery, watches, books, design, delicacies, souvenirs, flowers, gift ideas and small favourite shops that you're more likely to stumble upon than search for.

You wander through Hertensteinstrasse, discover boutiques, look out over the lake and the Chapel Bridge, linger at shop windows, enjoy a coffee on one of the beautiful squares, and take home not just your purchases but a sense of architecture, culture and Lucerne itself. Ideal for anyone who doesn't just want to get shopping done, but wants to experience it.
