Transportation in Lucerne

Lucerne hosts the Swiss Museum of Transport, which is Switzerland's most popular museum. This being Switzerland, you can buy a ticket at a train station which includes your entry to the Swiss museum of transport as well as your transport to the museum of transport. The transport to the museum is on the kinds of transport exhibited at the museum. In fact, once you arrive by train in Lucerne you can take a boat across the lake to the museum, thus giving you two types of transport before you even get in the door. The museum includes more trains than you can poke a stick at, a big section on the new Gotthard Base Tunnel (obviously a source of pride here) and an aerospace section. Lucerne is also a very pretty town, even on a cold and grey day like when we were there!

Lucerne is pretty.

Waterworks.

The swans in Lucerne seemed to be this way up most of the time.

Parklands outside the museum of transport.

The museum's a bit down on this machine, but it's really not that boring.

The Lion of Lucerne - an unexpectedly moving sculpture.
