The most traditional of Lucerne's Christmas markets is located on the square next to the Franciscan Church (Franziskaner Kirche), a five-minute walk along the river from the main train station. The smell of gingerbread, spices and Glühwein (mulled wine), together with the bustling atmosphere will get you in the Christmas spirit. Here you'll find herbs, tea, traditional Christmas biscuits, homemade candles, sheepskin hats and gloves and much more. Also a popular meeting place for locals after work to catch up with friends over a mulled wine or two.
