Lucerne
How to get to Lucerne
Direct fast trains link Lucerne to Zurich’s international airport and from
there KKL is just in front of the Lucerne train station.
Places of interest
The city was founded in 1178 and offers many interesting sites, such as the
Mill Bridge and Chapel Bridge with the 13th century octagonal Water Tower,
the Old Town Hall, the City Wall, the Rittersche Palace, Hof Church, Musegg
Wall, the Lion Monument, Hof, Jesuit and Franciscan churches, and the
Glacier Garden, a relic from the Ice Age and much more. Lucerne has also
many interesting museums, among them are the Transport Museum, the Hans Erni
Museum, the Museum of Art (on the top floor of the KKL), the Rosengart
Collection, the Nature Museum, the Museum of History, the Alpenium and the
Bellpark Museum
Touring Lucerne & Switzerland
Lucerne offers many walking tours of the city which are an excellent way to
discover the town’s history and landmarks.
Alternatively one can take the city stroll by the city train. A 40-minute
non-stop tour with audio guide (eight languages) drives the visitor though
the past of the most famous sights, and it gives an interesting overview of
the beautiful city.
Sightseeing tours to other parts of the country, such as Montreux, Geneva,
Zurich, etc. are also available.
Currency
The official currency is the Swiss Franc as Switzerland is not part
of the EU.
Weather
Lucerne’s weather in June is usually pleasant and is 22°C during the day.

Exhibition
The exhibition, which is designed for a limited number of stands, will be
open during all congress sessions. The exhibition hall is next to the main
congress hall and the coffee break area. Invitations to visit the exhibition
will be issued for members of the elevator industry in Switzerland. The
floor plan and the application form for space are available on:
www.elevcon.com.
For reservation of a stand please contact the exhibition secretariat:
