Lucerne


The city of Lucerne.
A gem nestling between lake and mountains.

What makes Lucerne so unique? Of course there's Chapel Bridge, Musegg Wall and the wonderful old town. There's also the lake with its promenade. Not to mention Mount Pilatus and a breathtaking scenic panorama. And of course the city has a vibrant cultural life, with lively goings-on on mild summer evenings. But what really makes the city special is its charm - its friendly, inviting air. And of course its quiet, contemplative character: this is what sets it apart from other world-famous cities. It's certainly difficult not to love Lucerne.

Excursions

City, lake, mountains.
Outings galore.

Lucerne itself is a place that people come from everywhere to see. But there's lots to discover outside the city, too. Lake Lucerne and Mount Pilatus provide the city's natural backdrop. The Rigi, Titlis and Stanserhorn mountains are within easy reach, and there are numerous other scenic attractions. The possibilities are virtually unlimited. We'll be glad to show you in person how you might spend your holidays to get the most out of your time here: but whatever happens, you can rest assured it will be unique and unforgettable.
