Top Rated Attractions in Lucerne

Kapellbrücke

Constructed in 1333, Kapellbrücke is the oldest covered wooden bridge in all of Europe. The truss-style landmark crosses the Reuss River and features a prominent water tower, which was originally constructed as part of the fortification for the city and used later as a treasury, prison, and torture chamber. Named after St. Peter's Chapel, the bridge also features paintings dating back to the 1600s. Unfortunately, several of its artworks have been destroyed over time. Today, Kapellbrücke is one of the most photographed landmarks in Lucerne and makes for a supremely pleasant addition to any itinerary.

Verkehrshaus der Schweiz

The Swiss Museum of Transport is one of the most popular museums in Lucerne. It showcases the evolution of transportation in Switzerland. Through various exhibits and displays, the museum depicts the modes of transportation in the country and the government's effort to improve these facilities further. If that's not enough, you can choose to visit the on-site movie theater or the planetarium.

Old Town Lucerne

Trace the history of Lucerne by exploring the Old Town which overlooks the River Reuss. The stretch between Kapellbrücke and the city hall is regarded as the Old Town. Several restaurants with patios dot the streets overlooking the River Reuss, giving this place a romantic charm.

Lake Lucerne

Surrounded by beautiful mountains, meadows, forests and valleys, Vierwaldstättersee (Lake Lucerne) is among the largest of its kind in the country. It has a complex shape with many bends and arms coming through the hillsides. It is also a popular tourist spot and has many steamers and passenger boats plying through the many towns on the lakeside. The meaning of its name is Lake of the Four Forested Cantons since Lucerne, Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden are all nestled on its shores.

Lion Monument

The Löwendenkmal, or the Lion Monument, was designed by the sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen. Also called the Lion of Lucerne, the monument was commissioned by an officer of the Guards, Karl Pfyffer von Altishofen. It would take a few years for the required funds to be amassed, delaying its construction until it was finally carved out by Lukas Ahorn in 1820-1821. Hewn into the face of a cliff, this stirring sandstone relief is further augmented by the emerald waters that twinkle beneath it. A moving testimony to the valor of the Swiss, the Lion Monument is dedicated to the hundreds of Swiss Guards who sacrificed their lives protecting the Tuileries Palace where King Louis XVI had been forced to take refuge in 1792 during the French Revolution. It depicts a wounded lion that has been speared, lying on a broken shield inscribed with the French fleur-de-lis while another bearing the Swiss coat of arms rests by its side. Below the sculpture, there is an inscription bearing the names of the officers who perished and a tribute to all the soldiers. In 1880, Mark Twain famously described the Lion Monument as the most moving stone image in the world, bolstering its reputation as an iconic landmark.

Museum of Art Lucerne (Kunstmuseum Luzern)
