getting here

Walking

From Lucerne train station, it is approximately a 25-minute walk to the Richard Wagner Museum. Follow the path along the lake. Once you reach the marina, continue along the path through a small wooded area. The route becomes somewhat steep for a few minutes, but the museum is just a short distance away.

By public transportation

From Lucerne train station, take bus 6, 7, or 8 to the Wartegg stop. Follow the signs toward the lake. The museum is a five- to ten-minute walk from the bus stop. Timetable: www.vbl.ch

By car

From Bundesplatz, follow Tribschenstrasse out of the city and follow the signs. After passing the ice sports centre (the large red building), you will see St. Anton Church on your left. Turn left into Warteggstrasse. Parking spaces are available at the end of Warteggstrasse. From there, a footpath leads to the museum in just a few minutes. Due to construction work, the walking route is currently slightly longer, so please allow a few extra minutes.

By boat

From the Lucerne pier at the KKL, the boat ride to the Tribschen stop takes approximately 10 minutes.

Accessibility

General
information

We warmly welcome visitors with different accessibility needs. As the Richard Wagner Museum is located in a historic building, accessibility is limited in some areas. We are happy to assist you in planning your visit.

Getting here and access

The route from Lucerne train station to the Richard Wagner Museum is generally accessible for wheelchair users. Please note, however, that there is a noticeable incline at the end of the route.

Alternatively, you can take bus 7 or 8 to the Wartegg stop. From there, a mostly accessible path with no major inclines leads to the museum.

Access to the museum itself is limited: nine steps lead to the entrance area. A sturdy handrail is available.

The area in front of the museum has a gravel surface. The accessible exhibition rooms have parquet flooring, stone tiles, or low-pile carpet suitable for wheelchair access.

Restroom

An accessible outdoor restroom is available.

Access to the exhibitions

The permanent exhibition on the ground floor is wheelchair accessible. Seating is available throughout the exhibition rooms.


The special exhibition on the first floor is accessible only by stairs. Access requires climbing approximately 20 steps.
