Zug
Zug is the capital of one of the smallest cantons in Switzerland and is located directly on the beautiful Lake Zug. Lake Zug and its surroundings captivate with the famous sunsets and a variety of leisure activities on land and in the water. The Zugerberg is the canton's local mountain and offers popular hiking trails and a magnificent view of the town and lake. In winter it invites to sledding and cross-country skiing. As a bad-weather program, the Freiruum facility also offers exciting indoor activities.

“Some of the audio guides didn't work. A really lovely exhibition — it was well worth it.”
Chantal
on Ticket "VINCENT – Between Delusion and Wonder" immersive exhibition Lichthalle Maag Zurich“For me, it was a very good guided tour, even though, as a long-time resident of Einsiedeln (Matura 1964), I already knew quite a lot. On today's visit, I brought along a young man from the neighbourhood who had never been to Einsiedeln before. It was an interesting experience for both of us.”
