Swiss Museum of Transport
About This Museum
What truly sets the Swiss Museum of Transport apart is its brilliantly hands-on approach to history; it’s less a quiet hall of artifacts and more a giant playground for the curious mind. You don't just look at trains, planes, and cars—you climb into them, operate simulators, and feel the thrill of transport firsthand. Nestled on the shore of Lake Lucerne, its sprawling campus also features captivating works by Swiss artist Hans Erni and a state-of-the-art planetarium for cosmic exploration. It’s this dynamic mix of education and pure entertainment that makes it Switzerland's most visited museum.
Collection Highlights
Get behind the wheel in a driving simulator, walk through historic railway carriages, or marvel at vintage aircraft suspended from the ceiling. The expansive collection covers everything from early bicycles to futuristic mobility concepts, ensuring there's something to captivate every age.
