Short transfer Paris to Lucerne and Lucerne to Venice


are the 4mins transfers too short…is the station rlly big? 

Best answer by BrendanDB

No, it’s not big, rather small even.

In Switzerland short connections like this are made to work and trains are quite punctual, in case of a small delay they wait for each other. It’ll be very easy to do. No need to worry about this connection

No need to worry, as ​@BrendanDB says. Swiss rail is designed with short connections in mind.

But of course you can take an earlier train from Luzern if you prefer.

Switzerland trains are always in schedule, the station its not small but it doesn’t have many platforms and you can access them just walking (not need to go through stairs or anything like that). Another thing you have to consider its that it says you arrive at platform 2 and the other trains departs from platform 1, so they must be next to each other.
