My partner is in Switzerland (near Luzern), and I would like to get some electronics for her from there to avoid shipping delays and costs by ordering online.

In particular 360 cameras to take 360 pictures of the beautiful scenery. What electronic stores do you suggest?

Hi all! Short-notice offer: I have a spare ticket for tonight's WoW: 20 Years of Music concert at the KKL Luzern (starts 19:30). My partner can't make it, and I'd rather give the seat to a fellow WoW fan than leave it empty.

If you're free tonight, send me a DM. Payment is totally optional, a beer is more than enough. Happy to meet at the KKL entrance before the start.

Hello, I have one spare ticket for the WoW concert tonight (starts at 19:30). One of my friends could not come. I bought it for 112 CHF but I'm willing to give it for free or reduced price. It's a category 3 ticket.

Hello everyone,

I moved to Luzern 2 weeks ago and I’m just getting settled.

I’d love to attend any (free) events in the following fields:
- AI
- crypto
- startups

I already asked my colleague Claude for recommendations, but thought I’d ask here as well.

Thanks in advance for all the recommendations!

Happy to take it on short notice 😁

Hello everyone, please I would really appreciate it if anyone has any contact of a psychiatrist in Lucerne one I may visit as soon as possible
Thank you🙂

Hi everyone,

I'm a 23-year-old Italian who has completed a Bachelor's degree in Finance. I'm considering moving to the Lucerne area for the MSc in Real Estate at HSLU and I'd like to hear from people who actually live or study in the area.

My current situation:

23 years old, Italian/EU citizen

Bachelor's degree in International Business/Finance

Currently doing an internship at a fintech unicorn in Milan.

Internship ends around December

C1 English and C1 Spanish

Currently learning German and planning to reach B2 during the master's

I could provide around €10–15k to help with the master's/move.

The HSLU MSc Real Estate interests me because I'm interested in real estate investment, asset management, finance and development, rather than purely academic/quantitative finance.

My idea would be to study while working part-time, ideally in something related to finance or real estate. I'm not expecting to immediately get a great real-estate job, I'd mainly like to earn some money and build Swiss work experience, then move toward better roles later.

I'd really appreciate some local advice:

How realistic is it to find a part-time/working-student job around Lucerne/Zug without speaking German fluently at first?

Is English enough for some finance/real-estate jobs, or is German basically essential?

How much should I realistically budget per month for living around Lucerne if I live frugally?

Is €10–15k enough to get started if I'm also working part-time?

Is it realistic to find a WG/room for a reasonable price, or is accommodation extremely difficult?

How is HSLU's MSc Real Estate perceived by employers in Switzerland?

Would my existing fintech/operations experience be useful when applying for student jobs in finance/real estate?

Would you recommend living in Lucerne, Rotkreuz, or somewhere else nearby while studying?

I'm particularly interested in hearing from international students or young professionals who moved to the area.

Thanks! Dm me if needed

Bin ich der einzige der im Moment Schüsse irgendwo draussen hört? Hörbar aus der Stadt Luzern (Seeseite Tribschen), lässt sich jedoch schlecht lokalisieren.

Hey everyone!

I’m returning to Lucerne in mid-November for my 3rd year of studies and looking for a room until May 2027 (budget CHF 700–800/mo). I’ve applied to 30+ listings on Flatfox/WG-Zimmer, but no luck yet. I’ll be abroad for all of October, so I can only do Video Calls.

I speak English and German (B1/B2), study Hospitality, and have lived in 3 WGs before.

Is doing only online viewings a major dealbreaker in Lucerne? Any tips or alternative platforms for finding short-term sublets for 6 months? Thanks 🥹!

(Note: Already tried studentroom.ch, but they only take students staying for a full year).

I’m going to be visiting Switzerland by train in October. I’m planning on heading from Murren to Tirano via the Bernina Expess on regional trains. Looking for advice on breaking up the journey with one/two overnight stops. Where would you stop? I’m thinking Lucerne and Chur??

Hallo zusammen,

ich bin vor Kurzem in die Region Luzern/Kriens gezogen und muss noch ein paar gut erhaltene Möbel und Haushaltsgegenstände (u.a. Tische, Regale, kleinere Küchengeräte) loswerden, um etwas Platz zu schaffen.

Gibt es hier lokale Alternativen oder Plattformen, die ihr empfehlen könnt? Kennt jemand aktive lokale Gruppen?

Danke!

Hi! I’m going to Lucerne on October 25th to visit the city with my boyfriend. We’re from Spain, so we have no idea where to find cheap restaurants in Luzern. Could anyone recommend some places for us? 😊

Hi everyone! I'm moving to Lucerne at the end of October to start a PhD at the University of Lucerne. I'm Portuguese and I'll be here for the next four years at least.

I'd love to find WhatsApp groups, Discord servers, meetup pages, or anything similar for expats, internationals, or just people in Lucerne who like getting together for activities. I'm into reading, arts and crafts, hiking/walking, meditation & wellness, so anything in that direction would be great, but honestly I'm open to anything social!

I'm also currently looking for a studio or one-bedroom apartment to rent, so happy to hear general tips on settling into Lucerne as a newcomer, housing, neighbourhoods, things people wish they'd known when they first arrived.

Thanks in advance!

Is there anywhere in or near Luzern that has good quality fresh Porcini or is walking for hours through the woods the only way?

I finally bought some at Migros and about 20% had to be thrown away...

I have a complete day for myself in Lucerne most likely on Oct 21. I know it's off seasons but wanted to know what can I do in and around to make the best experience possible?

I love nature, lakes, mountains and experiences like tobogon or anything around nature.

Thanks!

Hallo zusammen,

Wir ziehen arbeitsbedingt nach Luzern und haben einen Mietvertrag für eine schöne 5.5-Zimmer Wohnung in 6003 Luzern unterschrieben. Dabei haben wir gesehen, dass der Nettomietzins um 21% auf 2'800.- angehoben wurde im Vergleich des Vormieters von vor 3 Jahren, ohne dass irgendwelche Sanierungen vorgenommen wurden. Aus diesem Grund werden wir den Mietzins anfechten. Dabei wäre es hilfreich wenn ich ein paar Mietzinse aus der Umgebung als Vergleich habe.

Hier die Eckdaten unserer Wohnung:

- 5.5-Zimmer Wohnung
- Ca. 125 Quadratmeter
- Baujahr 2005
- CHF 2'800 Nettomietzins (ohne Nebenkosten)
- Umgebung Nähe Baselstrasse (6003)

Falls jemand eine ähnliche Wohnung hat und mir den Nettomietzins (ohne Nebenkosten) angeben würde zusammen mit ungefährem Quartier, Fläche und Anzahl Zimmer, oder auch einfach nur die Infos die ihr kundgeben möchtet, wäre ich sehr dankbar. Gerne als Kommentar oder als PM. Alle Angaben werden vertraulich behandelt und nur für die offizielle Schlichtung verwendet ohne identifizierbare Merkmale.

Guten Abend,
ich habe zwei Probeabos (jeweils für zwei Wochen) für das Fitnessstudio Update Fitness. Da es hier im Tessin leider nur einen Standort gibt, der weit von meinem Wohnort entfernt ist, möchte ich sie gerne verkaufen. Der Preis beträgt 10.– (der Wert des Abos liegt bei 27.–).
Bei Interesse bitte per Privatnachricht melden.

Any thoughts or feedback is much appreciate, thank you :).

Hello!

I am new to Luzern and looking for places to get some work done outside of the house. Does anyone have recommendations for good study spots? Places with free wifi would be especially nice

Hoi zäme, ich bin neu in Luzern und wollte mich erkundigen, wie man Getränkekartons hier am einfachsten entsorgt.

Meine Familie trinkt relativ viel Milch und Eistee, sodass bei uns etwa 10 Getränkekartons pro Woche anfallen. Wegen der Menge ist es mir wichtig, sie richtig zu entsorgen, also nicht einfach im Kehricht.

Ich kenne die Website getraenkekarton.ch, aber mir ist aufgefallen, dass die nächste Sammelstelle etwa 15 km von der Stadt entfernt ist. Soweit ich weiss, nehmen die Ökihöfe Tetra Paks ausdrücklich nicht an.

Gibt es eine bessere Lösung, als Kunststoffsammelsäcke zu kaufen und damit zur nächsten Sammelstelle zu fahren? Oder macht ihr, die ihr Getränkekartons sammelt, das auch so?

Danke im Voraus!
