Luzern, Railway station in Luzern, Switzerland
The central railway station features seven island platforms with fourteen tracks, serving domestic and international train services across Switzerland and neighboring countries.
The original wooden station from 1856 transformed into a major junction when architect Hans Wilhelm Auer designed a new building with a notable cupola in 1896.
The station functions as a gateway to Luzern's medieval landmarks, connecting travelers to the Chapel Bridge, Lion Monument, and numerous museums in the Old Town.
The station contains an underground shopping arcade, multiple ticket counters, information desks, and direct access to boats departing for Lake Luzern cruises.
The current station building, reconstructed after a fire in 1971, incorporates architectural elements designed by Santiago Calatrava, integrating modern style with functionality.
