The Majestic Lion Monument of Lucerne

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, head towards Lucerne (Luzern) city center. From the A2 motorway, take the exit for Lucerne and follow signs for Stadtzentrum (City Center). Once in the city, navigate to Denkmalstrasse 4, where the Lion Monument is located. Look for parking options nearby, such as the City Parking or the Altstadt parking garage, which may incur fees ranging from CHF 2 to CHF 5 per hour.

• Train

  For those using public transportation, take a train to Lucerne's main train station (Bahnhof Luzern), which is well-connected to other regions. Upon arrival, exit the train station and walk towards the lake. Follow the signs for the Lion Monument, which is about a 15-minute walk. You will head east along the lake promenade and then turn left onto Denkmalstrasse. The Lion Monument will be on your right. Ensure you check the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) website for train schedules and ticket prices, which typically range from CHF 10 to CHF 50 depending on your starting point.

• Bus

  If you prefer taking a bus, you can board one from various locations in Central Switzerland to Lucerne. Buses frequently run to Lucerne from nearby towns. Once you arrive at the main bus station, which is adjacent to the train station, follow the same walking instructions as above. The bus fares vary based on the distance, so be sure to check the local transport website for exact pricing.

• Walking

  For those staying in close proximity to the city center, walking is a pleasant option. If you are in the Old Town area, simply head towards the lake and follow the promenade to the Lion Monument. It’s a scenic route that will take about 10-20 minutes depending on your starting point.
