| 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. |
