Compare Lucerne PassesThe Lucerne Museum Card (CHF 39.00, valid 2 consecutive days) is confirmed to include free entry to the Swiss Museum of Transport's core museum-only ticket tier (CHF 37.00 value) — already close to paying for the card on this one museum alone. The Day Pass tier's added Filmtheater and Planetarium access is NOT confirmed as covered by the card; treat that as a separate paid add-on unless verified otherwise on-site.
Lucerne Museum Card
Conditional. Confirmed free for the Museum-only ticket tier — the Swiss Museum of Transport is named explicitly among the 8 museums covered on the card's own official shop.luzern.com listing ("Free admission to all mentioned museums"). The Day Pass tier's added Filmtheater/Planetarium access is NOT confirmed as covered by the card — treat that upgrade as a separate paid add-on unless verified otherwise on-site.
