A comment about the noise part discussed by PG and Mert: before i moved to my current flat (which is about 80 m above the Zug Lake level, on the foothills of Blasenberg/Zugerberg), I exclaimed how quiet and tranquil it is. But the guy who was letting it out to me warned me that somewhat counter-intuitively, because it is so quiet, you get to hear each passing car/bus loudly, that used to bother him and could bother light sleepers. In a busier area, the constant drone of traffic makes the ear less sensitive to sporadic sounds.

Train is obviously a different level of sound, though.

Cycling is much nicer in and around Zug as compared to say Zurich, if you plan on doing that.

Cheers!
