Learn more about hotels in Zug

As the largest town in the canton that shares its name, Zug provides visitors with a rich cultural experience. Its intriguing title, translating to "pull" or "tug" in the local Swiss-German language, takes its roots from the area's fishing heritage. Zug's history stretches back to 14,000 BC, with evidence of nomadic hunter-gatherer societies and lakeshore settlements from the Neolithic period, which reached their zenith between 3800 and 2450 BC.

In medieval times, the town played pivotal roles in significant historical movements, such as joining the Swiss Confederation in 1352, and the Swabian city league against Leopold III of Austria in 1385. Zug has seamlessly transitioned into the modern era, establishing itself as a global business hub with its low taxes and winning the title of the highest-ranked city in the 2019 Expat City Ranking.

When to visit Zug

For weather seekers, Zug’s offerings are subtle and varied. While Zurich and Lucerne soak up the status as tourist hotspots, Zug is a quieter delight with its mix of gently changing climates.
