With its drinking water fountains, the city provides free drinking water to its population and guests (spring to autumn). The fountains are cleaned and disinfected several times a week to offer an impeccable water source.

The Kurplatz itself is a popular meeting point in the middle of Lucerne, surrounded by green trees and beautiful walking paths 🌳🚶‍♂️. In the summer, free or public concerts are often held here, where locals and guests come together to experience music and community 🎉🤝.
