Luzern (Lucerne) itself
has many must-see sights, such as the world-famous Chapel
Bridge, built in the first half of the 14th century and with the
nearby octagonal water tower, Lucerne’s most photographed
landmark. But Lucerne is also an ideal departure point for
excursions to many scenic sights. The shores of lovely Lake
Lucerne are dotted with charming villages. No fewer than 20
passenger boats offer carefree cruising against a backdrop of
towering Alpine summits. A trip to the top of Mount Pilatus is
an experience not to be missed: the world’s steepest cogwheel
railway or an aerial cableway takes you to this breathtaking
vantage point at 2132 metres altitude.
