Discover Lucerne: The City of Music

It sounds fantastic.

The sounds of the city, the tones of the mountains and the melody of the lake merge in Lucerne into a harmonious symphony. This picturesque natural setting has already enchanted world-famous composers and artists – and continues to inspire a vibrant, creative music scene to this day. Feel music with all your senses and experience goosebump moments you will never forget. Lucerne impresses with a wide variety of venues and music genres: classical music, contemporary music, pop, jazz, folk music, customs, electronic music, blues and more. Diversity and excellence enrich one another. The city attracts talented musicians, offers accessible activities for children from the earliest age and, thanks to the Lucerne School of Music, is a hotspot for music education and research.

Dive in – not into the lake, but into the music!
