    • To enjoy the Murten Light Festival in a more relaxed atmosphere, we recommend visiting on weekdays or Sunday evenings, when there are generally fewer visitors. The light installations are spread throughout the town. There is also plenty to discover beyond the old town, including the museum, where you can admire artworks in a warm indoor setting, and the lakeside, where the atmosphere is often more peaceful.
    • To avoid queues at the entrance, we recommend purchasing your tickets online in advance. Access to all light installations is included in the festival ticket. Only the performance in the German Church requires an additional ticket.
    • For further important information, please consult our General Terms and Conditions.
