Lucerne Mini Guide
Lucerne, or Luzern as it is locally known, is a beautiful city set in a wonderful location. On the shores of Lake Lucerne, it has the Swiss Alps as a background. Lucerne city itself has many sights worth seeing including the world-famous Chapel Bridge, dating from the 14th century, and restored 25 years ago after a fire. If you have hired a car in Lucerne, then a tour around the lake or up into the mountains makes for a great day trip.
