Discover Lucerne and Lake Lucerne
Lake Lucerne
Lake Lucerne, also known as Lake Lucerne, is one of Switzerland's most beautiful lakes. Located in the heart of the country, it is surrounded by the majestic mountains of the Swiss Alps, offering breathtaking views.
Pont de la Chapelle
Lucerne's Chapel Bridge is one of the city's most iconic attractions. Built in the 14th century, this covered wooden bridge is decorated with historical paintings depicting scenes from Swiss history. It crosses the River Reuss and links the old town to the Jesuit church. The Chapel Bridge is not only an architectural masterpiece, but also a symbol of Lucerne's history and beauty.
Jesuit Church of Lucerne
Located on the right bank of the River Reuss, the church is a 17th-century Baroque splendor. Its sober exterior contrasts with its sumptuously ornate interior, characterized by spectacular frescoes, richly decorated altars and impressive sculptures. One of the first Jesuit churches in Switzerland, it is an outstanding example of Baroque religious architecture and a place of peace and contemplation in the heart of Lucerne.
Lion monument
The Lion Monument is a moving work of art located in the city of Lucerne. Carved out of rock in tribute to the Swiss soldiers who died defending the French royal family during the French Revolution, it depicts a dying lion, pierced by a spear, with its paw resting on a shield bearing the French coat of arms. Created by Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen, this monument is a symbol of courage and sacrifice.
Old town Lucerne
Lucerne's Old Town is a historical and cultural treasure nestled in the heart of the Swiss city. With its cobbled streets, colorful houses and lively squares, it offers a charming medieval ambience. Stroll along the old city walls to enjoy breathtaking views of Lake Lucerne and the surrounding mountains.
Lucerne clock tower
Lucerne's Clock Tower, also known as the “Zyt Tower” in German, dates back to the 14th century and houses a 16th-century astronomical clock that puts on a lively show every hour. It is an emblematic symbol of the old town and offers panoramic views from its summit.
