About Hotel Wilden Mann

Located in the centre of Lucerne, this Swiss Historic Hotel is steeped in tradition and packed with character. From the winding corridors and creaking floorboards to the furniture and decoration, every inch is a nod to its storied past - the building has been welcoming guests for around 500 years, first as a bar, then a tavern, and since 1860, a hotel.

It's the perfect base for exploring, with the train station and ferry quay just a short walk away. There are plenty of places to explore nearby, such as the Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke), the old town, and the Lion Monument - all within an easy walk. The hotel is less than 100 metres from the river, where you'll find street-side cafes, shops to browse, and a promenade for gentle strolls.

The friendly and helpful staff at the hotel make sure you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. Meals are hearty and delicious, offering a taste of traditional Swiss cuisine. Each room is individually styled and lovingly furnished - somewhere not just to sleep, but to relax and enjoy at the end of the day.

Discover Lucerne

  • Stroll the frescoed streets of the historic Old Town and see Chapel Bridge
  • Make the Golden Round Trip to Mount Pilatus via panoramic cable-car, rack-railway and boat 
  • Embrace the lakeside setting with a scenic boat cruise to Weggis and trip up Mount Rigi

The picturesque city of Lucerne is poised on the banks of one of Switzerland’s largest lakes – the sprawling Lake Lucerne. It’s a locale that’s inspired royalty, poets and composers, who have all gathered here, leading to a boom in grand hotels and villas. Lucerne is an incredibly walkable city of barely 250,000 residents, with streets leading past frescoed cafés and museums in the car-free Old Town. Just don’t forget the world beyond while on your wanders. Polished paddle steamers leave Lucerne bound for villages like Weggis and Vitznau, and the local mountains of Rigi and Pilatus Kulm are adorned with exceptional hiking trails.

Lucerne Old Town (Copyright: Luzern Tourismus Tanja Müller)

Stroll down the cobbled streets in Lucerne's Old Town as you travel back in time along the beautiful facades. Book a guided city tour or visit the famous Lion monument, a popular landmark in one of the central parks. Pop into the churches to admire stunning interiors, or purchase a museum pass to immerse yourself in the local history and culture.

Along the River Reuss that joins Lake Lucerne, located between City Hall and Chapel Bridge stands the stunning waterfront row of local restaurants and cafés, perfect for daytime treats or evening cuisine - here foodies will be spoilt for choice with lots of restaurants and outdoor seating – ideal for sipping cocktails in the sun. This postcard-perfect strip has beautifully decorated buildings and flower covered balconies.

Lucerne is home to many markets and charming boutiques. The colourful Wochenmarkt is held once or twice a week and is full of fresh fruit, vegetables and local cheeses. Other fresh food and drink markets include the Markthalle Luzern and the fish market. And, once a month there is also a craft market and the Monatsmarkt, perfect for collecting memorable souvenirs.

Klewenalp Lakeside Volleyball

Take a visit to Ufschötti, a small swimming beach easily walkable from Lucerne main station. With a reasonable sized lawn you can enjoy a picnic, game of beach volleyball, or lay back and soak up the sun before taking a dip in the lake or tucking into an ice cream. There's plenty of other lakeside lidos to discover too.

Swim, sunbath, dive, play, dine and relax at the lido in Weggis. You have full access to changing rooms, equipment and toilets for a full day of lakeside living. With a beach and volleyball court, this Swiss lake instantly turns into a whole new atmosphere - it even has a 25-metre indoor pool with Finnish steam bath and sauna.

Lucerne Canoeing On Lake Lucerne

Glide over the mirrored waters on a kayak, make your way to a nearby village on a stand-up paddle board, sail across the waterway or challenge yourself to some intense wakeboarding. Lake Lucerne is fantastic for its water sport activities, so why not gear up and try something new.

In Weggis and Lucerne, there are several options to hire a variety of water sports equipment locally.

Lake swimming is said to have natural healing properties as well as combining summer fun. Whether you're looking to dip your toes in to cool off, or go for a full lake swim, Weggis and its surrounding villages have you covered. Sunbath on the sandy beach at Vitznau's Brougier Park for ultimate relaxation with stunning Swiss mountain views.

Lucerne Pilatus

Local people once believed that dragons lived in the caves and crannies of Mount Pilatus. And if you look closely, the set of peaks does look like a dragon spine reclining on the edge of Lucerne. The dragon theme continues on the mountaintop with scavenger hunts, storied trails and kid-friendly zip lines. There are also footpaths like the Flower Trail, and forest tracks and alpine moors, as well as climbs for experienced mountaineers. You can get to Pilatus by gondola and cable car, starting in Kriens – or from the village of Alpnachstad for a ride on the steepest rack railway in the world.

There's also plenty for children on Mount Pilatus - the PILU Rope Park is the place to go. Children aged four to eight can join the mountain mascot on a treetop adventure. For older children and teens, the higher ropes course has a range of courses, from easy to more demanding, great for adventure lovers.

Let off some steam in the dragon-themed playground at PILU-land. Kids can balance their way across beams, whizz down the tube slide, or climb across the wooden frames. Step inside the dragon's lair as you immerse yourself in an interactive and cinematic experience. Dragon World is perfect for days when the weather isn't so good, allowing the whole family to take part in skill-based games with amazing motion effects. Watch out, though, the floor may turn into lava.

Pre-book your Mt. Pilatus ticket

The Pilatus Golden Round Trip is a spectacular journey up to the summit of Lucerne’s impressive mountain for wonderful views over the lake. The ticket includes ascent and descent from Kriens or Alpnachstad. Travel to and from the starting point is not included.

Prices include a Swiss Half Fare Card discount.

Please note that the price of excursions will vary depending on the resort you are staying in. We act at all times as a selling agent for the suppliers. All excursions require minimum numbers to run and are subject to change. Some excursions may not be available to pre-book in the low season but may be available to book locally, subject to numbers.

Take a trip across the lake to the Hammetschwant Lift, the highest outdoor lift in Europe with breath-taking views from 1,132 metres.

Brave the mountain edge cliff walk at the bottom before you start your thrilling ascent up the Hammetschwant Lift. As you are taken up to 1,132 metres high, a whole new point of view is unlocked – so make sure to have your camera ready.

Have you ever thought of an open-air cable car? The CabriO Cableway from Stans to Stanserhorn is just that. Stand on top of the cable car in this unique seven-minute experience. At the top there's fantastic views and some lovely walks.
