Lucerne weekly market: Freshness. Tradition. Joy of life.

Immerse yourself in the authentic heart of Lucerne, where shopping is still an experience for all the senses. The Lucerne weekly market is not just a place of trade, but a lively, colorful spectacle that unfolds directly along the picturesque Reussquai and the historic squares of the old town.

 

What to expect:

Regionality & seasonality: Discover the abundance of Central Switzerland’s nature – from crisp vegetables and sun-ripened fruits to artisan cheeses and fresh farmhouse bread. Our vendors are predominantly small producers who grow or make their goods themselves with pride and passion.

The most beautiful backdrop: Stroll between the historic facades and the sparkling waters of the Reuss. The scent of fresh herbs, flowers, and Mediterranean delicacies fills the air.

Encounters: Here you can meet the people behind the products. Exchange ideas, get cooking tips, and learn more about the origin of your food.

 

Opening hours:

Every Tuesday and Saturday 8:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. (sometimes from 6:00 a.m.)

 

Locations: Rathausquai, Unter der Egg, Jesuitenplatz, and Bahnhofstrasse. (Additionally in Helvetiagärtli on Saturdays)

 

Visit us and enjoy the start of the week or Saturday morning with pleasure!
