Pro tips to help you make a pick

If visiting with children, explore the dedicated children's area with interactive exhibits and educational activities tailored to younger visitors.

Enhance your visit by combining it with a scenic boat cruise on Lake Lucerne. The museum is located near the lake, making it easy to incorporate a cruise into your itinerary for a full day of exploration.

Consider purchasing a Lucerne City Card, which offers discounts on transportation, attractions, and dining in the city. This can provide additional savings during your visit to the Swiss Museum of Transport and other attractions in Lucerne.

If you're visiting during the winter months, be prepared for potentially cold and snowy weather, especially if you plan to explore the outdoor exhibits. Dress warmly and wear appropriate footwear for walking on potentially slippery surfaces.

Keep an eye out for any special exhibitions or temporary displays. These often showcase unique artifacts and themes related to transportation.
