The Kapellbrücke is gorgeous. Lake Lucerne is stunning. And the crowds? Very real.

Lucerne pulls more tourists per square kilometer than almost any other Swiss city. And when you're walking the Old Town at midday, the public toilet situation requires a plan, not a prayer.

You've probably found this blog post because, well, you gotta go. Perfect! I wrote this guide out of pure necessity after hunting down a public toilet in Lucerne last summer.

My guide lists current fast food codes at Burger King and McDonald's, every free public toilet from the official city dataset, plus all 19 Nette Toilette ("friendly toilet") venues and opening hours.

McDonald's (Station)	Bahnhofplatz	2587	February 2026

Codes rotate, so check your receipt first. If it fails, ask the cashier who will give the current code freely.
