On account of the traffic and parking situation, it is recommended during Festival season that visitors use public transportation. Take advantage of a 40% discount on public transport to Lucerne.

We advise visitors arriving by auto to pay attention to the updated parking system information and to use buses to transfer from the parking garages to the KKL Luzern. The KKL Luzern is located right next to the main Lucerne train station.

Lucerne has a dynamic system to indicate parking availability that makes parking in the city easier for you. You can find a list of all parking garages in the City of Lucerne here.

Various train stations outside the City of Lucerne have a Park & Ride offer for those traveling by train to Lucerne. The following train stations, which have abundant parking spaces, are especially handy: Sursee, Rotkreuz, Zug, Wolhusen, Arth-Goldau, and Sarnen.

Reserve your flight directly with SWISS (Link www.swiss.com), the Official Airline of Lucerne Festival.

Concert visitors are kindly asked to dress for the occasion.
In the KKL Luzern use of the cloakroom is mandatory and costs nothing. Lockers are also available in the KKL.

Handbags up to a size of 42 x 29.7 x 29.7 cm (A3) may be taken into the hall. All larger bags and luggage as well as other bulky items must be handed in for an amount of CHF 5.00 per item. 

The main concert hall of the KKL Lucerne has wheelchair spaces available on special terms. Accompanying persons cannot be assured of obtaining a seat in the same price range or in the general vicinity. Wheelchair spaces are also available at the other event locations.

We kindly ask that guests who require a wheelchair select from among the wheelchair spaces indicated on the seating map when purchasing tickets. For safety reasons, we are not able to ensure accommodation within the regular seating areas.

If you require assistance at the event venue, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our local staff members are always available to help you with questions and problems that may arise.

To reserve wheelchair spaces please call our ticket sales office directly at +41 (0)41 226 4480. Wheelchair spaces are always made available as soon as online ticket sales begin but can only be reserved by telephone.

The main KKL Concert Hall opens 30 minutes before the beginning of the concert. For events in the KKL’s Lucerne Hall or at one of the venues outside the KKL, if applicable, access will start shortly before the beginning of the event. For the sake of the musicians and the audience, latecomers will not be admitted until intermission or at the discretion of the Concert Hall staff. In certain instances concerts will have no intermission and allow no latecomers.

If the concert is missed on account of tardy arrival, tickets will not be refunded.

In the mood for a cocktail at the Seebar? Coffee and fine pastries at the Le Piaf? Or would you prefer a multi-course menu in the Gault MiIlau-rated restaurant Lucide? The culinary possibilities in the KKL Luzern are many and varied.
Before the concert begins, you can reserve your drinks and snacks for intermission at the KKL information desk in the main lobby of the KKL Luzern.
