Exclusive Lucerne Tour
We'll gather at a time that suits you, either at your accommodation in Lucerne or at another central point within the city.
Your exclusive tour of Lucerne will commence with a stroll through the city’s historic heart, featuring the renowned Kapellbrücke, known as Chapel Bridge. This remarkable structure is among the oldest wooden bridges found in Europe, elegantly spanning the River Reuss. Built in the 14th century, it remains one of the city's most photographed sites.
Adjacent to the bridge, you will find the Wasserturm, or Water Tower, another iconic landmark of the old town. We’ll then proceed across the Kapellbrücke to the opposite bank of the River Reuss, where you will encounter the Altes Rathaus, or the Old Town Hall, constructed in the 16th century and showcasing Florentine Renaissance architecture.
Our journey continues with a visit to the Lion Monument, a poignant tribute by artist Bertel Thorvaldsen. This sculpture represents a dying lion and commemorates the over 700 Swiss Guards who perished during the French Revolution while defending the Tuileries Palace.
Adjacent to this monument lies the Lucerne Glacier Garden, an ancient cavern rich in history and secrets. After exploring this site, we will enjoy a peaceful walk along the picturesque shores of the Lake of the Four Cantons.
After two hours of exploration, we will wrap up our tour in the city center.
