Lucerne Switzerland

With the Alps and Lake Lucerne as its backdrop, the delightful and prosperous city of Lucerne is truly spectacular. Brightly coloured wall paintings, an art form that thrived in the late 16th century, adorn its narrow streets and vibrant squares. The city is perfect for boat trips and excursions to Mt. Rigi and Mt. Pilatus. A stroll along the river offers a fantastic view of the old city. Two ancient bridges span the river. The Chapel Bridge is decorated with scenes from Swiss history, and runs by the Water Tower, a symbol of the city. The shorter Spreuerbrücke is adorned with Kaspar Megliner’s eerie Dance of Death paintings. Take a walk by the Altes Rathaus, City Hall, and through the charming squares of Weinmarkt and Hirschenplatz for a taste of authentic Swiss wall painting. For a bird’s-eye view of Lucerne’s dozen or so churches and three mountains, Pilatus, Rigi and Titlus, climb the medieval fortifications with their numerous towers. Don’t miss Das Löwendenkmal, a massive sculpture of a lion carved into the face of a rock dedicated to the Swiss mercenaries of Versailles. Mark Twain dubbed it “the saddest and most compassionate piece of rock on earth”. In the Am Rhyn Haus, next to the Altes Rathaus, you can see an interesting collection of late Picasso works. The combination of the peaceful lake and breathtaking snow-capped mountains give Lucerne a special charm which is further enhanced by the medieval old town, famous wooden bridges and beautiful skyline.
