The best bars and cafés Lucerne

Looking for a place to have fun in Lucerne? Head for Penthouse! This trendy rooftop bar offers one of the best views in town, in a lounge atmosphere with a touch of bling. Nestled on the eighth floor of the Hotel Astoria, it's the ideal place to admire the magic of Lucerne while sipping a cocktail. The panoramic view of Lucerne and the Alps from the roof terrace is well worth the detour. At weekends, DJ evenings are a must for young Lucerneans. Check the Internet for the program.

Parterre is a trendy, "boboized" café located behind the train station, in a rather residential area that is nonetheless bustling with young designer boutiques. The indus decor is designer, with a large table in the center ensuring a convivial atmosphere. Every lunchtime, a menu of the day is offered, systematically including a vegetarian version, as well as paninis for a quick bite. At weekends, the restaurant serves a delicious brunch. Culinary and musical events are organized throughout the year, attracting a rather uninvited crowd.
