A city where medieval charm meets nature – Experience the quintessential Swiss landscape in Lucerne.

A journey to Lucerne begins with a sense of "traveling back in time." The iconic landmarks of this experience are the Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke), built in the 14th century, and the vibrant frescoes adorning the Old Town. Among Switzerland's many picturesque destinations, Lucerne stands out as particularly photogenic. 🏰 Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke)|A living history adorned with paintings The Chapel Bridge, a wooden, roofed bridge spanning Lake Lucerne, is a masterpiece of historical art. Inside, over 110 triangular paintings depict Swiss history and the stories of saints, allowing visitors to feel the flow of time as they walk through. Nearby, the imposing **Water Tower (Wasserturm)**, once used as a prison and storage facility, adds a sense of gravitas to the scene. Walking across the bridge, you'll be greeted by a serene lake and a backdrop of the majestic Alps, creating a view that feels like stepping into a painting. 🧭 Old Town|Romantic streets of frescoes and cobblestones Just across the bridge lies the Old Town, where medieval architecture is beautifully preserved. The buildings, adorned with striking frescoes, line the cobblestone streets, creating a romantic atmosphere. The squares are lively with locals gathering, markets bustling, and the aroma of coffee wafting through the air, blending "past" and "present" into a unique ambiance. Especially at dusk, as streetlights illuminate the cobblestone paths, the tranquil scenery resonates deeply with travelers. 📍 When visiting Lucerne, start with the Chapel Bridge and the Old Town. Immerse yourself in the serene and beautiful flow of time, and you'll discover the essence of a Swiss journey. It's a city so captivating that you might find yourself staying an extra night 🌇
