Rigi Mountain is a mountain located in central Switzerland and is known as the Queen of the mountains. So when it comes to beauty, Rigi Mountain is second to none in this country. With a height of 1,798 meters, you can see the Sahara, which surrounds the mountain in three lakes: Lake Lucerne, Lake Zug, and Lake Lauerz. #WinterMountainTravel #MountainTravel #TravelSwissByYourself

The Lion Monument is located in the city center, not far from the wooden bridge. The Lion Monument is carved into a cliff face. On the lion's head is a shield with a cross, the symbol of Switzerland. This lion monument was designed and carved by Thor Volsen. It took about 2 years to carve it, from 1819-1821. It was built to honor the Swiss soldiers for their bravery, loyalty and loyalty who died in France while defending the palace during the Great Revolution on August 10, 1792, during the reign of King Louis XVI. #Lucerne #TravelSwissOnYour Own

Kapelbruck Bridge is the oldest wooden bridge in the world. It is hundreds of years old and spans the Reuss River. It is a symbol and history of the city of Lucerne. This cathedral bridge is a very strong bridge with an ancient roof. It connects to the octagonal fortress in the middle of the water. Each gable of the bridge has a painting that tells the history of Switzerland. It is an old painting that is over 400 years old. However, this bridge was severely damaged by a fire in 1993. However, it has been repaired and is in good condition as before. #Travel to Switzerland by yourself #Kapelbruck Bridge #Lucerne #Winter mountain travel

Lucerne, Switzerland, is a breathtakingly beautiful Swiss town. Here are some photos I took in August, without any filters! [Thumbs up] 1. Two spired churches on the shore of Lake Lucerne, with the city's architecture in the background during the day. 2. A sailboat sails on the lake, with mountains and blue skies against the backdrop of white clouds. 3. A man relaxes on a lakeside bench during the day, with European-style architecture in the background. 4. A group of people stroll through Lucerne's Old Town during the day, with the Chapel Bridge and floral decorations in the background. 5. A meal and a glass of white wine on a table, with a lakeside restaurant where people are dining outdoors. Lucerne is a historic city with a rich cultural heritage and numerous historical sites. Here, you can visit Lucerne's Old Town and admire the beautiful scenery of the Chapel Bridge and floral decorations. You can also visit Lucerne's museums, art galleries, and other cultural venues to learn about local history and culture. Lucerne is also a treasure trove of natural beauty. You can stroll along the shores of Lake Lucerne, enjoying the beautiful lake and mountain views, or take a walk on the Chapel Bridge to admire the city's stunning scenery. Alternatively, you can soak up the sun and fresh air by the lake, or take a boat trip to explore its charm.

Summer in Switzerland is like God's secret garden on earth, and Lucerne is the most vibrant scenery within it. Known as Switzerland's most beautiful and ideal travel destination, even Tolstoy and Audrey Hepburn couldn't resist its charm. I absolutely adore its landscape - surrounded by majestic mountains🏔️ and accompanied by emerald lakes, the interplay of water💧 and mountains creates an exquisite vintage scene of paradise. Some say the dreamy hills are over-filtered and not worth visiting, but this might be due to wrong timing or personal preferences. 📸 Recommended summer photography times: ✅ Early morning: 6:30-7:30. An earlier time (5:30-6:00) can capture golden mountain sunrise, though the dreamy hills remain dark. Later, the magical light fades. This window offers perfect shadows, and right after sunrise, morning mist rises between the valleys. ✅ Evening: 19:00-20:00, when the sunset glow is warmest, and the play of light on cottages and peaks reaches its most dreamlike state. Any later, it gets too dark.

Lucerne, a city, lake, and mountain, is a place that shows various charms of Switzerland! The most famous Chapel Bridge in Lucerne is the oldest ‘roofed wooden bridge’ in Europe over the Reuss River and is said to be the symbol of Lucerne. The Chapel Bridge is long, so it has different charms depending on the angle you look at it! And when you go to Lucerne, most people also visit Mount Rigi. I’ll tell you how to get to Mount Rigi! 📍How to get to Mount Rigi from Lucerne Station: Walk from Lucerne Station to the cruise ship dock, take a cruise ship to Vitznau, and then take the red VRB mountain railway to the top of Mount Rigi! *The view on the left side of the red VRB is good* 📍How to return to Lucerne from Mount Rigi: Take the VRB mountain railway down to Rigi Kaltbad, From there, transfer to a small cable car to Weggis, and take a cruise ship to Lucerne. If you climb Mount Rigi, which is called the 'Queen of the Mountains', you can see the snow-capped mountains along with the wide open view! There are chairs installed everywhere, so you can come and take your time and enjoy the scenery🏔 #European travel #Overseas travel #Switzerland travel #Lucerne #Mount Rigi

I'm going to introduce a famous restaurant in Lucerne, "Rathaus Brauerei Restaurant"🍽 It's popular among tourists because it has a view of the Chapel Bridge:) I simply ordered a sausage and half a chicken! The sausage was juicy and the most chewy sausage I've ever had..👍🏻 The chicken was also baked golden brown in the oven, and it was nice from the outside! The epitome of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside..ㅎㅎ It was a satisfying meal because the taste was as good as the appearance✨ It was so hot that I ordered ice cream for dessert, but it was 7,000 won for one scoop..! I really got a feel for the cost of living in Switzerland..!ㅎㅎ Still, the staff was friendly, the food was delicious, and the view was so nice that I wanted to go again🫶 📍Unter der Egg 2, 6004 Luzern, Switzerland #European travel #Overseas travel #Swiss travel #Lucerne #View restaurant

Come here during May and you won’t be disappointed. The weather is great with spring flower. Daylight is longer and you have more time to explore the city. These photos were taken at 8pm and yet it was still so bright outside. Lucerne is a popular stop for most people visiting Switzerland. It is very easy to explore the town by foot. Come admiring this compact Swiss city for its preserved medieval architecture admist the snowcapped mountains on Lake Lucerne. Its colourful Old Town has many beautiful murals. Don’t forget to explore the Chapel Bridge-the wooden footbridge spanning diagonally in Lucerne. #eurotrip

📍Switzerland, Lucerne Switzerland, loved for its green nature! Among the many mountains, the one I liked the most was Mount Rigi, which surrounds Lake Lucerne. It is nicknamed the 'Queen of the Mountains' for its beautiful scenery. People who go to Mount Rigi usually take a cruise from Lucerne to Vitznau Station, then take a mountain train or cable car. You can go up to Kulm, the summit, and take a quick tour, or get off at the intermediate station or hike in a different direction from the summit! ✔️ There aren't many places selling food. Bring water and snacks! ✔️ This year, the Swiss Pass includes the Mount Rigi cruise, mountain train, and cable car! Don't miss it, as it's a great chance to see the city of Lucerne. ✔️ When going up, take the mountain train to the summit, and when coming down, take the cable car to Ricki Kaltbad Station, which is a little far from the summit, so you can enjoy various scenery and Mount Rigi by walking without much effort. #Hiking #Swiss travel #Switzerland #Overseas travel #Lucerne #Mt.Rigi #Europe travel
