What to see in Lucerne

Lucerne is one of the most charming cities in Central Switzerland, located on the shores of Lake Lucerne. Its history goes back to the Middle Ages: the narrow streets of the old city coexist with promenades and modern museums, creating an amazing atmosphere of both a cozy provincial city and an important cultural center. Here you can hear the ringing of bells, mountain peaks are reflected in the water, and each walk gives you a sense of belonging to European legends and history.

Manufactures and facilities

Man-made attractions of Lucerne are the heart of the walk around the city. Kapellbrücke is a legendary wooden bridge about 204 meters long and the ancient Sproerbrücke, built in 1408. In the Old Town it is worth seeing the Old Town Hall, the fountain "Guardians" on Wine Square and the cozy Swan Square Schwanenplatz. It is impossible to ignore the monument to the Dying Lion, dedicated to the tragic events of the French Revolution, the magnificent Jesuit Cathedral and museums, including the Ice Garden with unique geological exhibitions.

Natural attractions and places

Natural attractions and surroundings make Lucerne a real gateway to the Alps. Lake Lucerne (Firvaldstättskoye) washes the embankments and offers views of the mountains and the calm water surface, while the Royce River flows through the city, being one of the largest rivers in Switzerland (164.4 km, basin 3,425 km2). In the vicinity rises the Pilatus mountain range, located on the border of the cantons of Nidwalden, Lucerne and Obwalden - an ideal place for walking, trekking and panoramic views. Parks and coastal walking areas invite leisurely walks and picnics overlooking the Alps.

Guides will tell little-known stories, discover hidden corners and help to make a thematic route of interests - from architecture and history to natural species and gastronomy.
