Lucerne is described as one of the most breathtaking and unique cities in Switzerland for a reason. It is the most densely populated town in the country due to the many opportunities it provides. Situated on both banks of the Reuss river, as well as on the western edge of Lake Lucerne, from which the town takes its name, it possesses all the advantages for which Switzerland is popular around the world – spectacular, one-of-a-kind views. You’ll find towering mountains as well as lakes, picturesque alpine villages, and meadows in the surrounding countryside where the famous Swiss cows graze undisrupted. Sounds more than idyllic, doesn’t it?
Lucerne is often referred to as the “City of Light” and this is one of its distinctive features. Locals tell of an old legend that refers to an angel pointing out with a light to the first settlers where they should build a chapel in honor of St Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors and fishermen. The covered medieval bridges and especially the Chapel Bridge, which was ranked as one of the most visited and popular tourist attractions in the world in 2010 are some of the most notable emblems of the city. It is the oldest and longest-covered wooden bridge in Europe. It reaches a length of 204 m. The construction dates back to 1365 and the Water Tower is located in the middle of the bridge. As you can see, there is no shortage of reasons to visit Lucerne.
Lucerne’s scenery is another completely valid reason to visit Lucerne. Glaciergarden or the Garden of Glaciers is a unique natural phenomenon that has become one of Lucerne’s pride spots. Here you can see exhibits from the last glacial period, shell fossils, and palm fronds that tell the story of the local land 20 million years ago. All that’s left to do is book your airport transfer to Lucerne and enjoy the show.
