Lucerne Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

Inside the town hall, a gruesome story with many paintings is recorded. Here you can see how death picks people up and how death used to be dealt with.

The tower was built in 1442. The clock in the tower has the right to strike first in Lucerne and therefore strikes one minute earlier than all other clocks in Lucerne.
The tower is freely accessible from April 1st to November 1st.

Männliturm, Musegg Wall

Highlight • Monument

Probably the most imposing tower of the Musegg Wall, with its spire including the armed military man, the most figuratively photographed tower. It is also the only one of the 9 defense towers that has an open top. From here you can shoot fantastic pictures of the city and its surroundings.

Nationalquai

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Nationalquai is the promenade on the shores of Lake Lucerne. The view of the Alps is enormous. Here you will meet all kinds of folk. Also the rich and famous who live in the luxury hotels parallel to the quay. Numerous cafés and restaurants of the not-so-cheap variety adorn its appearance. A walk along the Nationalquai is part of every visit to Lucerne.

Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke), Lucerne

Highlight • Bridge

It is the oldest and second longest covered wooden bridge in Europe. Unfortunately, a large part of the bridge was destroyed in a fire in 1993, as a result of which many pictures in the gables of the bridge can no longer be seen.

Water tower Lucerne

Highlight • Monument

Near the left bank is the octagonal water tower, which was built around 1300, before the Chapel Bridge, and can be reached from it via a short cross-passage. The tower was used alternately as a watchtower and cornerstone of the fortifications, as a city archive and treasury and as a dungeon and torture chamber. Today it houses a souvenir shop as well as the clubhouse of the artillery association Lucerne.
