The canton of Zug is in a central position. Short distances to work, to schools, to shops, to restaurants and to sports and leisure facili-ties all add up to an excellent quality of life.
The central location is also a benefit when it comes to railway, bus and road connections. The commercial metropolis of Zurich and the popular tourist destination of Lucerne are just half an hour away and the trip to or from Zurich airport takes only 45 minutes by train or car.

The service providers in the transpor-tation sector include Zugerland Verkehrsbetriebe AG (ZVB) for public buses and Schweizerische Bundesbah-nen AG (Swiss federal railways – SBB) for the urban railway.
