  • Tip Rating:
  • I passed by this confectionary-shop and tea-room accidentally, when walking from Zunfthaus zu Pfistern to Spreuerbruecke. The have a great garden-cafe next to the river Reuss and I had some coffe and cake there and tasted one f these tempting "Lozaerner Raegetroepfli" - chocolate filled with liquid Kirsch (cherry brandy) and truffles-creme.
    Click at their web-page and see some other specialities of the house !

    Lozaerner Raegetroepfli is the expression for "Raindrops from Luzern" in Swiss german and it is a well known confect that would of course also make a perfect souvenir - it won a gold-medal in 2001

    Bucherer: Watches & Jewelry Galore
  • Tip Rating:
  • Bucherer is one of the ancient dealer in Lucerne when it comes to jewels and watches. It's located on Lowenplatz and can't be missed as you wander passed it. There 3 levels of store with the free spoon section (vouchers are given away by most tour guides) at the top level. Bucherer was the Rolex outlet when I was there last (in 2003) and they had items in this range over the $20K mark for those wanting something a little bit special...........

    Rolex Watches

    The sky is the limit here but there's also several ranges of lower priced items

    Market
  • Tip Rating:
  • Every Tuesday and Saturday morning, large and colourful food markets spill over both banks of the Reuss and under the arcades, with a supplementary fish market every Friday. There’s a flea market every Saturday (May–Oct) on the south bank, and a monthly crafts market (April–Dec, first Sat of month) on Weinmarkt. In the modern part of town, Moosstrasse hosts a relaxed Saturday morning farmers’ market of cheeses, organic vegetables, home-made jams and more.

    Gubelin: Lots of Watches
  • Tip Rating:
  • Gubelin is one of Lucerne's older watch sellers and they have an extensive range with Tag Heuer one of their flagships. The shop is set out over a couple of floors and you can spend as much as you like. The sales people are not too pushy though you wont find may locals behind the counter.

    The store is open in Summer (Apr to Oct) from 8.30 to 7.30 with Sunday opening at 4pm & Thursday not closing until 9pm. Winter has different hours so will pay you to check first.

    This is the place to shop if you want a more expensive watch as a memory of your big trip to this part of the world. The prices are better than in many other places around the world and often there are discounted ranges.

    Expect to pay from $500 to several thousand SFr for your watch

    Under the Train Station Shopping
  • Tip Rating:
  • Wandering the streets of Lucerne one night, I was trying to find a market or convenience store to get some food and drinks for myself. I ended up at the train station and took the escalator underground and into the shopping complex under the station.
    I didn't know this was there when I arrived and happily went into one of the market stores and stocked up for my time in town.
    Due to it's convenient location under the station, you may have to pay a little more for the products but if you are in a time pinch, it's worth it.
    There are numerous shops under the station with multiple escalators to the street above for easy access.
