Which area of Lucerne is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
Finding cheap hotels in Lucerne can be a bit challenging, as it's known for its higher price points, but areas slightly outside the immediate city centre, such as those across the river or a short bus ride away, often offer better value. Look towards neighbourhoods like Lucerne-Littau or areas just beyond the main train station for more affordable options.

For solo travellers, staying slightly further out can mean significant savings, often with good public transport links bringing you into the heart of the city within minutes. You might find smaller guesthouses or independent hotels that offer competitive rates compared to the more centrally located establishments. These areas tend to be quieter, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring.

Families looking to save money on accommodation might consider options a little further afield, perhaps even in nearby towns like Kriens or Horw, which are well-connected by bus to Lucerne. These locations often have hotels with larger rooms or family-friendly apartments at a fraction of the cost of those in the city centre.

You can often find better deals on hostels and guesthouses, and local cafes and restaurants are less crowded, providing a more authentic experience.

Winter, particularly January and February, can also be very budget-friendly, especially if you're not planning on skiing in the nearby mountains. Lucerne itself is beautiful under a blanket of snow, and while some mountain excursions might be more expensive, the city offers plenty of free or low-cost activities. Strolling along the lakefront, exploring the Christmas markets (if you visit in late November/early December), or simply enjoying the cosy atmosphere of a local cafe can be very rewarding.

Couples can save on dining by visiting local supermarkets for picnic supplies to enjoy by Lake Lucerne or along the Reuss River.
