Here we put up some infos for our guests from abroad. If you don’t find your answers on this page here, join our WhatsApp-Event-group or contact us via email.
Traveling by plane
Closest airports are Basel and Zurich. Please check out both options. From there, it takes around 1 hour 15 minutes to Lucerne. From Zurich airport there’s a direct connection, while from Basel you have to change once (from bus to train). You will find further information (pricing etc.) on sbb.ch.
Payment methods in the venues: At the Friday venue and Alldayer venue on Saturday, you will be able to pay via credit card. Please note: At the Allnighter venue on Saturday it’s cash only! (or Twint for the Swiss guests). We will also make sure that you will be able to pay via card on the Boat.
We do Swiss Francs in Switzerland. Some places take Euro notes and give you back coins in Swiss Francs.
Where to eat: We recommend to you our friends’ and sponsors’ places, namely Bistro Krienbrüggli, Disco Pizza, Restaurant El Rincón Argentino and Barbès.
Shops are open Monday to Friday until 6.30pm, Saturdays until 5pm. The shops at the mainstation are open longer and also on Sundays (until 8 or 9pm.).
Public transport in Lucerne
In general, you can reach any place in Lucerne easily by foot, let’s say it takes around 15 minutes to anywhere. Please check out if the hotel/ hostel you’re staying in is offering you a free voucher for public transport. If not you can consider to buy a multiple-trip-ticket for 6 bus stops. Further information about connections etc. on sbb.ch.
Taxi
Driving each direction with a taxi (e.g. venue to hotel) should cost you around 20 to 25 Swiss Francs. You can pay via credit card.
Bike
If you like to ride a bike maybe you’ll find something here: Rent a Bike, or here: NextBike
By the way, we have different plugs here in Switzerland. The German AC power plugs don’t work without an adapter nor those strange British ones. But the so called Europlugs are fine.
