Lucerne. The most beautiful city in Switzerland.

Switzerland, for many of us, is:

Low taxes (and bank secrecy until 2018)

Excellent medicine (Paracels is Swiss!)

Direct democracy

Mountains, clocks, chocolate and neutrality. Well-armed neutrality.

All this makes the confederation one of the most desirable places to live in Europe.
¶
The bright city of Lucerne, which we will walk through, is the capital of the canton of the same name in the heart of the confederation, surrounded by beautiful mountains near a lake with drinking water.
¶
Lucerne is a secular salon in Switzerland, which annually hosts thousands of classical music fans, for whom virtuosos from around the world play in a hall for 1,800 people!
¶
It was in Lucerne that Wagner and Rachmaninoff worked. Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, the royal family, Eisenstein, Disney, Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn and many others visited here.
¶
Did you know that Lake Lucerne has the largest fleet of wheeled steamers in Europe? And the first jagged railroad from here. And the fastest elevator in Europe.
¶
Lucerne is:

• The city where the union with the forest cantons was formed in 1332.
• Liberty Style, adjacent to the oldest covered wooden bridge in Europe,
• One of the few remaining walls in Switzerland,
• The saddest and most touching lion in Europe.

Painted houses and stories from the past and modern life of the city and country await you.

We can continue exploring central Switzerland by boat to the town of Alpstadt, climb the symbol of central Switzerland on the steepest geared railway in the world, take a walk and return to earth by cable car.

See you later!
