What makes Lucerne special
Lucerne sits where the Reuss river leaves Lake Lucerne, surrounded by mountains. Its covered wooden bridges, medieval walls and painted houses make the Old Town one of the most picturesque in Switzerland.
It is also the starting point for excursions on the lake and to mountains such as Pilatus and Rigi. A local guide explains how the city's story is tied to the founding of Switzerland.
