Vacation Rentals in Central Switzerland

It couldn't be more literal: Central Switzerland lies in the heart of the country and attracts visitors with its clear lakes, magnificent landscapes and romantic villages. Whether you want to spend your holidays in a vacation rental in the countryside or enjoy the charm of a vacation rental or apartment in Lucerne, Central Switzerland offers you countless possibilities for a relaxing or active holiday.

Central Switzerland is one of the seven major regions and is located north of the Alpine ridge. It includes the cantons of Lucerne - also the urban centre of Central Switzerland -, Uri and Schwyz.

Lake Lucerne lies in the middle of Central Switzerland and is thus the cultural and economic centre. With a shore length of around 150 kilometres, there is literally (almost) nothing here you can't do! The lake offers you a fine selection of outdoor swimming pools for swimming, various boat clubs where you can row, motorboat or sail and in the south of the lake you will find ideal conditions for windsurfing. Even diving is possible at different places of the lake!

The snow-covered mountain peaks at your back, Lake Lucerne at your feet and a unique medieval architecture - Lucerne is not regarded for nothing as an absolute must on your holiday in Central Switzerland. Above all, the beautiful old town with the legendary 14th century Chapel Bridge and the Musegg Wall are worth exploring during a long walk.

Jump from Lucerne onto one of the steamboats on Lake Lucerne and drive to the Meggenhorn Castle Residence. The beautiful complex is surrounded by extensive meadows and woods and appears almost like a fairy tale, with its stately 18th century castle, the castle chapel and the lovingly maintained castle gardens. Here you can even celebrate your wedding before going on your honeymoon in the holiday home!
