What to do in Kriens

food and café

The food is very essential and is inevitably linked to the local culture. You save a lot of money with your accommodation, so you can spend a little more and eat locally. noodles, kebabs, rice and chai tea are everywhere. try something new, for heaven's sake! ;)
if you look for a barista coffee, check out "mezzo", only open on saturdays!

several take aways on the Ground Floor at the mainstation lucerne. for a small budget too. burger King, mc Donalds, Starbucks are as expensive as these alternatives. so skip them and give local Food a chance! switzerland and especially lucerne have more to offer and it less unhealty. also check out places nearby. stay away from touristy places for Food!
