🇨🇭 Charming Lucerne's Old Town

#hiddengems Lucerne is a city in central Switzerland located on the shore of Lake Lucerne. Even if you only have a few hours in Lucerne, it's enough to explore its old town as it is compact and can be easily explored on foot. Lucerne's charming and well-preserved old town is rich in history and offers a picturesque setting along the shores of Lake Lucerne. Starting from Lucerne train station, walk along the waterfront towards Chapel Bridge, a 14th century wooden bridge which is also one of Lucerne's most iconic landmarks. Take a stroll across Chapel Bridge and you will reach the other side of the old town. You can continue walking uphill towards the Musegg Wall, a well-preserved medieval city wall with nine towers. Visitors can walk along a section of the Musegg Wall and enjoy panoramic views of Lucerne, Lake Lucerne, and the surrounding mountains. #Switzerland #swiss #lucerne #alps #mountainview #cityview #oldtown #musegg #bridge #panorama #lake #luzern #tripblazers

🇨🇭 Chapel Bridge @ Lucerne

#hiddengems Located in the heart of Lucerne's Old Town and spans the Reuss River, the Chapel Bridge is one of the most iconic landmarks in Lucerne. The bridge is one of the oldest wooden covered bridges in Europe and dates back to the 14th century. It has undergone several reconstructions over the centuries. In 1993, a large portion of the bridge was destroyed by a fire, but extensive restoration efforts were made to rebuild it to its former glory. We thoroughly enjoyed strolling across the Chapel Bridge, soaking up the beautiful views, and exploring the Old Town on both sides of the river. #Switzerland #swiss #promenade #luzern #lucerne #stroll #lake #bridge #lakeside #waterfront #citywalk #chapel #tripblazers

🇨🇭 Cruise across Lake Lucerne

#hiddengems After a brief visit to Mount Rigi, we took the cogwheel train to Vitznau, a lakeside town on the shores of Lake Lucerne. We checked the ferry schedule beforehand so that we could catch the ferry at the right timing. The view of Lake Lucerne from the dock was breathtaking. The journey from Vitznau to Luzern via a ferry on Lake Lucerne provides a relaxing and leisurely way to enjoy the beauty of the region. There are seating areas on the open deck and inside the ferry. As we cruised across Lake Lucerne, we were treated to panoramic views of the Swiss Alps, charming lakeside villages, and the serene waters of Lake Lucerne. #Switzerland #swiss #boat #luzern #lucerne #boattrip #lake #vitznau #ferry #rigi #alps #tripblazers

Best viewpoint in Lucerne 🇨🇭 during winter

One of the most iconic landmarks that you should not miss in Lucerne is the Musegg Wall built in the 14th century. It is about 15 minutes walk from Lucerne train station. As the wall is located on a hill so be prepared to climb stairs and slopes. There are 9 watchtowers along the 870-m long city wall, 4 of which are open to public (free admission) during non-winter months. We were not able to walk on the city wall as we visited during winter so we explored the area inside the city wall. A local that we met suggested that we walked along the outer wall to have a great view of the city. We were indeed greeted with panoramic views of Lucerne city with a backdrop of Lake Lucerne and Swiss Alps as we explored the area outside the wall. Make sure to climb the watch towers if you visit during summer as I'm sure the views from the watch towers will be even more spectacular! #Switzerland #swiss #lucerne #alps #mountainview #cityview #viewpoint #musegg #wall #panorama #lake #luzern #tripblazers

The Top Attractions In Luzern, Switzerland

If you ask me which part of Switzerland I love, I can outright say not Zurich for sure but its either interlaken or luzern. Interlaken is more towards the nature settings with glorious mountain backdrops. Luzern city itself is filled with many historical attractions with stories too! 1 of which is the Chapel Bridge, where the bridge had a major restoration due to a big fire in 1993 which is also written as part of the story in the Chapel bridge information. Not too far off there is also the lion monument where this is a carved stone dying lion to attribute the 1792 tuileries war. There is also the hofkirche st. leodegar Catholic Church which is a old 18th century Church that is beautifully built and still standing tall and gorgeous. #fallingforfall #switzerland #scenic #view #luzern #gorgeous #historical

🇨🇭 Luzern's lakeside promenade

Lake Lucerne is a beautiful lake in central Switzerland and the fourth largest in the country. Located near to Lucerne train station and ferry terminal, Luzern's lakeside promenade offers a beautiful setting for a leisurely stroll while exploring Lucerne on foot. Cross the iconic Chapel Bridge and turn right towards Grand Casino Luzern. It was definitely an enjoyable and serene experience to take a stroll along the promenade while enjoying the views of the iconic Chapel Bridge, Water Tower, and the surrounding mountains. The waterfront area is dotted with restaurants, cafes and hotels. #thingstodo #Switzerland #swiss #promenade #luzern #lucerne #stroll #lake #bridge #lakeside #waterfront #citywalk #tripblazers

🇨🇭 It's snowing in Mt Rigi! ❄️🌨️🏔️

We visited Mount Rigi, which is often referred to as the "Queen of the Mountains", while we were in Lucerne since the journey was included in Swiss Rail Travel Pass. We first took a train from Lucerne's main train station (Luzern Bahnhof) to Arth-Goldau. The train ride took approximately 30 minutes. From Arth-Goldau, we took a cogwheel train which offered a scenic ascent to the top of Mount Rigi. The summit of Mount Rigi offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Swiss Alps on a clear day. However, it was snowing on the day of our visit. Nonetheless, we had fun playing with snow too! #thingstodo #Switzerland #swiss #lucerne #alps #luzern #rigi #tripblazers #train #cogwheel

🇨🇭 Scenic Ride from Lucerne to Interlaken

There are a few scenic train rides that are included in the Swiss Rail Pass, one of which is the route between Lucerne and Interlaken which usually takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the type of train you choose. It is a scenic and picturesque route that takes you through the Swiss Alps, offering stunning views of lakes, mountains, and charming villages. We took the train from Lucerne to Interlaken and was mesmerized by the scenic landscapes along the way. The ride first started with stunning views of Lake Lucerne and the surrounding mountains. We were also greeted with panoramic views of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, two beautiful lakes surrounded by mountains, as the train approached Interlaken. #thingstodo #Switzerland #swiss #lucerne #alps #luzern #Interlaken #lake #train #scenictrain #tripblazers
