The Pavilion Concerts take place annually from May to the end of September.
Tradition since 1908
The pavilion was built in a geometric Jugendstil style in 1908 to plans by the German architect Bruno Schmitz: the idea was to have a 60-strong spa orchestra perform there twice a day. So pavilion concerts have been a tradition on Kurplatz for over 100 years.
LED lighting located within the mosaic-decorated stage shell provides an atmospheric ambience in the evening.
A leisurely stroll along the lakeside promenade
After Kurplatz, you can stroll past the Grand Hotel National and Casino Luzern to the Seebad Luzern, then past the Hotel Palace via Carl-Spitteler-Quai and Luzernquai to the Swiss Museum of Transport. Keep following the promenade alongside the lake to the Lido, then take Churchill-Quai to Seeburgstrasse. You can catch the bus for the return leg, or the boat from the nearby «Verkehrshaus-Lido» landing stage.
