I have been offered a position at ou Zug ooffice, and my husband and I will be moving to Switzerland in January. We are starting the consider our options of where to live, and I would appreciate some advice on firstly living in Zug. It would be most convenient and obviously comes with a tax benefit, but I've read many reviews on it being quiet, "boaring", with fog for 3 months of the year.

Even though we are in our 40's, we don't fancy living in "suburbia". We enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city. Would Luzern be a better option? Or even Zurich?

Hello
welcome to Switzerland!

If you come from a lively and busy place and you liked this lifestyle , if you do not have children and you don`t mind a commute of about 30-40 minutes (depending where you live in Zurich and where the office is in Zug) I would go for Zürich.
Luzern is nice and busy during the day (with tourists) but also more quiet in the evening.
Zurich has much more to offer re cultural events, cinemas, restaurants, bars, nice districts, etc.

with warm regards
Roswitha
