Lucerne/Luzern

The first city to join the Swiss Confederation, today Lucerne is a lovely small city with a thriving tourism industry, owing mainly to its status as a gateway to Central Switzerland. The city became a center of Swiss history and legend. Student travellers will find Lucerne a complete joy to get around on foot. The Old-Town is tiny, and most other interesting sites are within 20 minutes or so walk

Places of interest

Lake Lucerne: Encircled by popular excursion mountains, Lake Lucerne is the lake with the greatest scenic variety in the country. It is somewhat reminiscent of a fjord landscape, yet remains characterised by a mild lake climate.

Mount Pilatus: Mount Pilatus (2132m) has remained a much-loved destination for young and old alike. 2 cable cars, 7 restaurants, the steepest cogwheel railway in the world and the largest rope park in Central Switzerland promise a day out to remember!

Chapel Bridge: The Chapel Bridge, a landmark of Lucerne, is said to be the oldest woodbridge of Europe. The Bridge is made with wood and was built in 14th century as a protection for the city. Its amusing walking over it, as you can see about 100 pictures of 12th century city life and Swiss history. Join one of the walking tours going around! Unfortunately the bridge burned down on 18th August 1993. Within a few months it was rebuilt. The tower used as an oubliette (dungeon) is still in original condition.

Old Town Lucerne: The city is beautiful with great views of the mountains and a gorgeous lake, a scenic and historic old town, friendly people and excellent restaurants
