Lake Lucerne Boat Trip

Welcome to Lucerne, often hailed as one of Switzerland's most picturesque cities, beckoning visitors with a wealth of tourist attractions and activities to explore. Situated centrally on the shores of Lake Lucerne, with the majestic Mounts Pilatus and Rigi framing its skyline, Your adventure begins as you're greeted by a local professional guide in the lobby of your hotel, embarking on a two-hour walking tour to uncover the city's highlights.
As you stroll past the station, you'll encounter the enchanting Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke) and Water Tower, dating back to the 14th century, making it Europe's oldest covered wooden footbridge. Admire the interior paintings dating back to the 17th century, though many were tragically lost in a fire in 1993 and subsequently restored. The Chapel Bridge stands as an enduring symbol of Lucerne and a must-see for tourists visiting Switzerland. Along the Reuss River promenade, discover the Jesuit Church (Jesuitenkirche), an impressive baroque-style church steeped in history. Continuing your exploration through the well-preserved lanes of the Old Town, be captivated by the Rathaus, a town hall boasting Renaissance architecture topped with an Emmentaler-style roof, captivating visitors from around the globe. Your guided tour culminates at Lucerne's poignant Dying Lion monument, a somber sculpture paying tribute to the Swiss Guards who perished during the French Revolution in Paris in 1792. The engraving above the sculpture bears the Latin inscription "Helvetiorum Fidei ac Virtuti," honoring the loyalty and bravery of the Swiss. Perhaps enjoy a leisurely afternoon at one of the lakeside cafes or embark on a scenic one-hour boat trip across Lake Lucerne.
