A short hop along the lake from Vitznau, Weggis has its own easy, unhurried social scene, and Bar Alexander is where most of it happens. Known locally as the meeting place in Weggis, it’s set inside Hotel Alexander with comfortable bar seating, generous group areas and a fireplace lounge that makes it just as inviting on a cool evening as a warm one. Mountain and lake views come as standard, whether you drop in for a daytime coffee, an after-lunch drink, or a proper evening cocktail. It’s relaxed rather than exclusive, which makes it easy for a mixed group — a coffee stop for grandparents, a beer for the adults, a comfortable corner for anyone who just wants to sit somewhere pleasant for half an hour. Fridays bring a Dine and Swim evening if you’re looking for something a little different. Pair a visit with a stroll along the Weggis promenade or a boat trip in from Vitznau, and you’ve got a relaxed half-day without much planning required. Open long hours daily, so it’s flexible around whatever else is on the agenda.
