The compact town makes venue-hopping easy, letting visitors catch several shows across a single evening.

Stanser Musiktage spreads an eclectic music program across the small town of Stans, the capital of Nidwalden, each spring, scattering performances across churches, theaters and halls throughout the historic center rather than concentrating everything on one stage.
