Lucerne overview

Built upon legendary origins and flourishing from its reputation as a timeless tourist gateway, Lucerne is the heart of Switzerland’s central region. This treasured town is easily reachable via train from most major Swiss centres, which is not altogether unusual in this part of the world. Lucerne’s bridges are the dominant tourist landmarks in the city, and have been for many decades. This sounds somewhat bizarre considering Lucerne is home to several intriguing museums, an enchanting and well-tendered to Old Town, and an eerily harmonious stone lion structure. But, these bridges are more than just a complex edifice of wood and nails. A simple stroll through the inspirational Chapel Bridge will place all doubts to rest. The 200 metre-long passageway exhibits not only brilliant historical art pieces, but an ageless exuberance of a way of life long since passed.
