The most Lake Lucerne The city of Lucerne has a population of about 80,000. Thanks to its picturesque location between Pilatus and Rigi, den Sehenswürdigkeiten und einem vielfältigen Angebot an Hotels, B&B, Wohnungen, Zimmern oder Privatunterkünften entwickelte sie sich seit 1840 zu einem beliebten Reiseziel, das jedes Jahr von Millionen Touristen aus aller Welt besucht wird.
Lucerne is an ideal starting point for Excursions to the surrounding mountain landscape or for pleasure cruises on Lake Lucerne, e.g. with one of the five nostalgic Paddle steamer. One of the most famous landmarks is the 14th century built Chapel Bridge, the oldest and second longest covered wooden bridge in Europe. In the gable of the bridge are triangular paintings depicting scenes from Swiss history.
After a fire destroyed a large part of the bridge in 1993, it was rebuilt and in less than a year reopened to the public. Unfortunately, only a few of the numerous wood panels were able to be restored. The octagonal water tower (built before the bridge at the beginning of the 14th century) served many functions, including as a treasury, archive, prison, and torture chamber.
Probably one of the most famous sights of Lucerne is the Lion Monumentwhich was carved directly out of the sandstone rock and is meant to commemorate the Swiss guardsmen who fell during the French Revolution in the allegory of a dying lion. Also worth mentioning is the Jesuit Church, a magnificent baroque building, in which not only church services but also musical events take place. Directly on the lake is the KKL (Culture + Congress Center Lucerne), an architecturally outstanding masterpiece that opened in 1998 with a concert by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. The concert hall is considered one of the best because of its top-class acoustics and attracts internationally renowned artists as well as music lovers from all over the world to Lucerne every year.
