Lucerne

Lucerne sits where the River Reuss leaves the lake, with covered wooden bridges, painted old-town façades and mountain views close together. Cross Chapel Bridge, spend an afternoon with Picasso and Klee at the Rosengart Collection, or hear a concert at the KKL. Boats connect the city with lakeside villages and mountain railways. Beyond the centre, Vitznau and the Bürgenstock offer quieter resort stays, while Pilatus and Rigi make rewarding day trips when the weather is clear.
