Attractions
Villette Park
The spacious and magnificent Villette Park with its impressive old trees is located directly on the Lorzen river. It was artistically created in 1865 in English style. With its 46,000 sq m, it is the most popular recreational area of the population. In the middle of the park is a villa built in 1866, which can be used as a cultural and meeting center with restaurant, banquet, concert and exhibition rooms.
Church of St. Jacob
The late Baroque building is the only monumental hall church in the canton of Zug from that time. The late Gothic tower on the lower floors, which is still present, dates from the second half of the 15th century. In recent years, the church has been renovated and now shines again in the new splendor of the old days.
City of Zug
The city of Zug is characterized mainly by the beautiful old town. The landmark of the historic center is the 52 m (170 ft) high Zytturm towering over the other old towers. Another attraction is the Lake Zug itself. Guests can enjoy cruises or enjoy the romantic sunset on the lakeside promenade.
