+Fasnacht, the carnival, with colourful parades.
–Cold and loud during carnival.
February or early March brings Lucerne's Fasnacht, a lively carnival with masks, music and parades. It is quirky and loud.
Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
