    What you'll see and do

    1. Museum of Transport

      Head inside the Swiss Museum of Transport with your entrance ticket and explore at leisure. The museum charts the development of rail, air, space, road and water travel with hands-on exhibits, simulators and multimedia displays. Your ticket gives you access to its key exhibition halls and areas, filled with more than 3,000 displays, making for a fun day out for adults and kids. Visit the Aviation Hall to view historic aircraft and flying machines. The museum takes its exhibits to new heights with flight simulators that give you the rush of operating an airplane, helicopter, or hang glider. When it's time to get grounded, walk around the Rail Transport Hall to see steam locomotives and model railways, and try your hand at negotiating tunnels, signals and bridges in train simulators. Zoom over to the Road Transport Hall for the history of automobiles and to view 20 of the world’s most iconic cars. You can even turn into a crash-test dummy to experience a bruise-free collision in one interactive exhibit. Other attractions include the Navigation Hall with its fascinating seagoing displays; the i-factory covering information technology; and the Swissarena where you can walk across a one-of-a-kind aerial photo of Switzerland that takes up an entire room. Most people find two–three hours in the museum is sufficient, but your ticket lets you explore for as long as you like. For a supplement you can also visit the museum’s domed planetarium to witness its dazzling astronomical shows, and its Filmtheater to watch spectacular 3D and high-definition movies.

    Great place to appreciate all the modes of transportation!

    It is a good idea to plan in settting aside at least five to six hours for a visit if you purchase the Day Pass. Come early, once they open the doors as there's plenty to see and do here. We did not purchase our tickets in advance but the line to purchase was really not that long. We were able to apply our complimentary Lucerne Visitor Pass for a 10% discount to our Day Pass. You can choose the time when you would like to watch the Planetarium show and 3D show as well as the Chocolate Adventure Ride. It is a good idea to take the Chocolate Adventure ride before or after the 3D show as they are located close to each other. There are tons of exhibits here at the Transportation Museum broken down with plenty of props and exhibits that are detailed with many hands on experience. Most of the exhibits are translated in English. You can easily spend an hour or two alone in the Aviation and Space Travel Hall. Be sure to stop by the LIndt Chocolate Shop and the wonderful gift shops as there are many unique items of interest. Well worth to purchase a Day Pass for sure. Also, it is very convenient to take public transportation here from Lucerne train station -- Bus #24 stops directly in front of the Transportation Museum- only about a 10 minute bus ride at the maximum.

    An outstanding museum

    We just came for the museum rather than the add on attractions. We arrived at 0945 and stayed till 1800 and didn't see everything. We could do with another day! The layout is basically energy production, trains, cars, aircraft and boats plus an art exhibition that we saw last year but didn't get to today. The exhibits are very well described and almost all have an English translation. The stand out exhibits for us were the giant model railway, going into the aircraft, the vertical car garage with robot transporter and the automaton on the top floor of the boat display. There are some excellent and informative interactive displays. We ate in the cafe and restaurant and found the food, cake and drinks to be very good. This really is an outstanding museum. Consider an annual ticket if you live in Lucerne or come regularly.

    Fantastic museum of transportation

    A big, modern museum in multiple buildings featuring planes, trains, cars, and so much more. Very professionally presented. Very family/kid friendly (though we're just a couple in their 50s). We spent several hours there. We did not book a tour in advance-- just bought tickets at the door, and that was fine.

    Lucerne Swiss Museum of Transport Entrance Ticket: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lucerne.

    How much does Lucerne Swiss Museum of Transport Entrance Ticket cost?

    +

    Prices start at $46 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lucerne usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Lucerne Swiss Museum of Transport Entrance Ticket take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lucerne is not rushed.

    Is Lucerne Swiss Museum of Transport Entrance Ticket worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 219 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lucerne, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Lucerne Swiss Museum of Transport Entrance Ticket?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Lucerne Swiss Museum of Transport Entrance Ticket suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Lucerne Swiss Museum of Transport Entrance Ticket?

    +

    Around 77 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lucerne can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lucerne and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Lucerne Swiss Museum of Transport Entrance Ticket start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lucerne within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lucerne?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lucerne experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jungfraujoch Top of Europe Day Trip from Lucerne, Lucerne Walking & Boat Tour: The Best Swiss Experience, Lucerne's Hidden Secrets by Electric Cargo Bike (small groups). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lucerne?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lucerne?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Lucerne Swiss Museum of Transport Entrance Ticket?

    +

    Included: Access to permanent and temporary exhibitions. Not included: Food and drinks, unless specified; Transportation to and from the museum; and Other attractions: Filmtheatre, Planetarium, Swiss Chocolate Adventure. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Lucerne Swiss Museum of Transport Entrance Ticket?

    +
