Schiffrestaurant Wilhelm Tell

Lucerne


The old paddle steamer Wilhelm Tell has been around for nearly 110 years, but doesn't leave its dock these days. It's now a lovely floating restaurant and bar. Come for lunch or dinner in its restaurant, or simply sit out on the deck and enjoy the surroundings with a coffee, cocktail or beer. This family-run business has an enthusiastic crew.
