Author tip

Learn more about France's most famous contemporary architect with a visit to the Parisian's KKL (www.kkl-luzern.ch). Bigger than a football pitch with a sleek, protruding roof, unsupported for 40m (131ft), this arts and congress centre is a true feat. Come dusk, mingle with city trendies over an apéritif in The Lounge, then head to Bam Bou for East-meets-West cuisine in The Hotel's restaurant.

Curious fact

Jean Nouvel also designed the furniture in this seven-storey house: all horizontzal panels are wood (nature) and all vertical panels, stainless steel (technology).

How to get there

  Getting there. The airport's Swiss Federal Railways Station is located beneath terminal B. S2 and S16 trains run every 10 minutes to Zurich city centre at peak times. The journey time is about 10 minutes and single tickets cost 5.80 CHF. Trains run to Lucerne. The Hotel is located in the centre of Lucerne.
