Lucerne
Lucerne Mountains — Pilatus, the Rigi, the Stanserhorn & the Golden Roundtrip
The mountains around Lake Lucerne define the Swiss mountain tourism experience — the Pilatus cogwheel railway, the Rigi sunrise, and the Titlis glacier each represent a different aspect of the Alpine environment accessible within 2 hours of the Lucerne waterfront.
Swiss History from Lucerne — the Rütli, the Federal Charter & the Wilhelm Tell Legend
The Lake Lucerne landscape is the stage of Swiss national history — the Rütli meadow where Switzerland was founded in 1291, the Wilhelm Tell legend, and the Bundesbrief in Schwyz are all accessible from Lucerne by lake steamer.
Lucerne Swiss Culture — Fondue, the Museggmauer, the Hofkirche & Swiss Traditions
Lucerne is the most accessible Swiss cultural experience — the medieval wall walk, the Renaissance cathedral, the Swiss cheese culture, and the Rosengart art collection within a 1km radius of the Chapel Bridge.
Lucerne — the Chapel Bridge, the Old Town & Lake Lucerne
Lucerne (Luzern in German, the capital of the Canton of Lucerne, population 82,000, the most visited city in Switzerland after Zurich and Geneva — the city at the western end of Lake Lucerne with the Alps rising directly from the lake shores, the city that defines the Swiss postcard image: the wooden bridge, the mountain backdrop, the medieval old town)
Lucerne Food & Nightlife — Swiss Fondue, the Old Town Restaurants & the Lake Bar Scene
Lucerne's food scene centres on the Swiss culinary traditions — the cheese fondue, the raclette, the rösti, and the Zürcher Geschnetzeltes — served in the Old Town restaurants with the lake view and the mountain backdrop that make the Swiss dining experience unique.
Lucerne Cultural Institutions — KKL, the Swiss Transport Museum, Wagner & the Art Scene
Lucerne's cultural landscape extends from Jean Nouvel's KKL concert hall to the Richard Wagner Villa, the Swiss Transport Museum, and the Rosengart collection — a circuit of the most distinctive museum experiences in central Switzerland.
