Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Kriens
Choosing the best airport for your journey to Kriens depends largely on your balance of cost, transit complexity, and flight availability. For most travelers, EuroAirport Swiss Basel Mulhouse Freiburg (BSL) serves as the most practical international gateway; while it is not in Kriens, it offers the fastest and most seamless train connections via Basel SBB, which are significantly more convenient than the long-haul transit required from the Italian airports. The Milan-based hubs—Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP), Il Caravaggio International Airport (BGY), and Milan Linate Airport (LIN)—are all located in neighboring cities and require multi-leg journeys often involving high-speed trains or regional buses that can take over 4 hours. Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden Airport (FKB), also in a neighboring city, is a niche option often used for budget carriers, but the transit to Switzerland involves complex cross-border rail connections. Generally, if you are flying internationally, prioritize BSL for its proximity and transit efficiency, and only consider the Italian hubs if you have direct flight access or specifically require those destinations.

Had a wonderful stay at bellpark! The location is super nice, really close to one of the best tourist attractions in Luzeren, the Mount Pilatus. Also it's quite well connected to the central city, plus Having a Lidl right next to you and a few kisoks is always a charm..
But for me the highlight of the stay was the friendly host, Apple, she was super accommodating and gave good tips on how to proceed with my travels, if you have any questions about the city and the excursions you want to plan, don't hesitate asking her.
Wishing you a pleasant stay.. 😊FromUS$48
