Lucerne means “City of Lights” and, according to legend, was established by an angel’s request. On the shores of Lake Lucerne with heartbreaking views of the Alps, Lucerne has been attracting tourists for centuries, prompting Mark Twain to observe that “the shops are packed with Alpine crystals. Photographs of scenery, and wooden and ivory carvings...Millions of them.” Stroll across the historic wooden Chapel Bridge, one of Lucerne’s landmarks, and if possible visit during the city’s carnival season, which features extravagant parades in which you march “where you like.”
E25***38The Chapel Bridge was built in 1333 and was originally built for the defense of Lucerne. The bridge body is brown, and the top of the bridge is painted red. Inside the covered bridge are about 120 paintings about the history of Lucerne painted in the 17th century. Unfortunately, most of the Cabel Bridge was destroyed in a fire in 1993 due to a ship collision accident. It was quickly rebuilt and restored to its original appearance. There is a 140-foot-high octagonal water tower (Wasserturm) in the middle of the bridge, built of bricks. This water tower was originally used as a prison, torture, observation deck and vault. Now every early summer, geraniums are planted outside the wooden bridge.

It’s overlooking alphachersee. The wind on the mountain is unpredictable. The train to the base of Pilatus is covered by the swiss travel pass, but the cog wheel train and gondola are not (but you get a discount). Both up and down are great rides in themselves, and there is some super hiking at the top (the flower trail is the best), and half way down the east (?) side is a summer toboggan run. I highly recommend

Luzern is one of popular cities in Switzerland. So many landmarks and places of interest to be explored. The Chapel Bridge with the Water Tower is the landmark of Lucern. Lake Luzern Cruise is a must try. The smallest Renaissance Hotel in the world also located in Luzern, where we stayed. The closest hotel to main station is Monopol (very beautiful facade indeed)

Lake Luzern Cruise. I would advise you to buy Swiss Travel Pass to enjoy this excursion complimentary. Board the cruise at Luzern-Bahnhofquai (in front of Luzern Main Station). Cruise will sail from Luzern Terminal to Beckenried and back to Luzern. You can also board this cruise to go to Rigi via Vitznau.
