You meet your guide and the rest of your group at the Tourist Information Gleis 3, Lucerne Train Station. Dress warmly according to the weather, so you won't get cold during the city tour.

The tour takes you through the city of Lucerne, along the Reuss River, past Christmas-decorated squares and through beautifully lit alleys. Along the way, you’ll learn the secrets of Samichlaus and the Christkind, discover how the Christmas tree makes its way into our living rooms, and find out since when light strings have been decorating our streets and buildings.
