What it is
The Verkehrshaus der Schweiz, the Swiss Museum of Transport, occupies a large site on the lakeshore, east of central Lucerne. It brings together trains, boats, planes, cars and cable cars: the story of how a country made of mountains and lakes gets around. It solves Lucerne's rainy-day problem, and is also a plan for a whole day out with children. It opens 365 days a year.
What is inside
The museum is explored by hall, according to the means of transport. It also has a planetarium, a big-screen cinema, the Swiss Chocolate Adventure, a tour about Swiss chocolate, and the Hans Erni Museum, dedicated to the Lucerne painter. There is a restaurant, the Mercato, and a café-brasserie.
