Willisau is located west of Sursee in the canton of Lucerne and is well connected in terms of transport. The town is surrounded by gentle hills, meadows, and agricultural land. Its well-preserved historic town centre, featuring ring walls, towers, and fountains, defines its character. The Obertor gate and city walls recall its medieval history. Willisau developed early on into a regional market and administrative centre and continues to play an important role for the surrounding area today.
