Lucerne: What Awaits You

Lucerne is one of Switzerland's most photographed cities — the medieval Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke), a 14th-century covered wooden footbridge adorned with centuries-old paintings, spans the Reuss River against a backdrop of snow-capped peaks. Mt. Pilatus and Mt. Rigi are reachable by cogwheel railway within 30–60 minutes, making Lucerne an ideal base for alpine excursions. The largely car-free old town features painted facades and compact cobblestone lanes.
