All Hail Swiss Transportation at the 'Verkehrshaus'
More, more, more! We want more ways to play with and touch modes of transportation. Yes, we are that into planes, trains and automobiles, which is why the Verkehrshaus der Schweiz, or Swiss Transport Museum in Lucerne, Switzerland is our "kid in a candy store" place where we go bonkers for a bit.
You see, Switzerland is rife with more than just chocolate, ultra-safe banking and Alps; it's also got a soft spot for transportation with its abundance of cogwheel trains, Swissair planes, vintage paddlewheel lake steamer boats, ski gondolas and inter-city trains. The Verkehrshaus (pronounced like fair-cares-house) simply wallows in the splendor of the country's mobile history by displaying some of these awesome machines and adding an IMAX theatre and planetarium to boot.
