Sitting at the foot of “dragon mountain,” lakeside Lucerne is Swiss romance at its finest. With the medieval Chapel Bridge, decorated guildhall townscape, and an impressive alpine panorama as the backdrop, Lucerne is a cinematic dream!

Lucerne Highlights Tour
Amble across Chapel Bridge, past the octagonal water tower and over the river that bleeds into Lake Lucerne, stretching far into the mountains. Appreciate the frescoes and cobblestone paths lining the Old Town on your way to visit the remains of Musegg Wall and green spires of the Jesuit Church.
Mount Pilatus Tour
Travel by air, land, and water to scale Mount Pilatus, one of several peaks overlooking Lucerne with sweeping views of the jagged landscape. Soar to the top by cable car, ride the cogwheel train down, and cruise back to the city by boat, experiencing different panoramic angles as you go.
