Car Hire Baar - Mini guide to Baar

The attractive town of Baar is 20kms to the south of Zurich in northern Switzerland in the canton of Zug and has cheap car hire in Baar and many excellent hotels. The town lies between lakes Zurich, to the north, and Zug, to the south, and is largely rural.

About a quarter of the Baar area is forested, meaning lots of nice driving to take in with car hire in Baar as well as many kilometres of walking paths. You can get to Baar direct by train from Zurich on the S-Bahn (SN9) and there are also buses here. The town is attractive with many nice buildings and walking areas.

Baar Cave is one of the main attractions in Baar, although Lake Zug to the south is the main reason most people pay a visit. You can drive right around the lake with car rental in Baar, where there are little hamlets all the way around and plenty of opportunity to stop and admire the lakeshore or go on a boat trip.

In addition, the even prettier Lucerne is just 30kms south-west of Baar with cheap car hire in Baar. It, too, presides over an attractive lake, Lake Lucerne. Lucerne is a beautiful town on the shores of the lake with an array of quality hotels and some of the most interesting shopping in Switzerland. Trips on Lake Lucerne are popular.

Driving around Lake Lucerne is hugely rewarding as the roads go up high in parts for fantastic views of the region and for good walking.
