Lucerne Christmas Market

The town is not very large and with a population of around 60,000 people the community is close and very friendly. The Lucerne Christmas market brings many visitors to the town, filling it with excitement and festivities at Christmas. The markets in Lucerne are much smaller than the Zurich Christmas markets but provide a uniquely traditional atmosphere.

From Thursday to Sunday, 20 stalls from 20 different countries present their own Christmas traditions at Kapellplatz with Lucerne's famous landmark, the Chapel Bridge, as a scenic background.
