From the Station Market to Allmend

Why go

Choose this route to see everyday Lucerne beyond the busiest old-town sights. The Markthalle gives a quick look at regional food before the walk moves into Neustadt’s streets and the small Vögeligärtli park. Neubad’s former swimming pool shows how a familiar building can become a cultural meeting place; check what is open there on the day. Continue to Allmend for paths through varied meadow and pond habitats. The stops grow progressively quieter, and the final green space deserves an unhurried walk. This is a good day for visitors who prefer neighbourhood texture and open air to a sequence of major monuments.
