Custom Tour of Lucerne
At a time that suits you best, we will gather at your accommodation in Lucerne or a centrally located venue in the city.
The journey begins as we stroll through the city's historic area, where the renowned Kapellbrücke, or Chapel Bridge, stands proudly. This remarkable structure, considered one of the oldest wooden bridges in Europe, spans the River Reuss and dates back to the 14th century, earning its place as one of the city's most photographed sites.
Adjacent to this bridge is the notable Wasserturm or Water Tower, another emblem of the old town's charm. We will then proceed across the Kapellbrücke to the opposite bank of the River Reuss, arriving at the Altes Rathaus: Lucerne’s ancient Town Hall, constructed in the 16th century and showcasing the elegance of the Florentine Renaissance architectural style.
Our exploration continues with the impressive Lion Monument. This poignant sculpture, created by artist Bertel Thorvaldsen, commemorates the over 700 members of the Swiss Guard who sacrificed their lives during the French Revolution while defending the Tuileries Palace.
Adjacent to this artistry lies the Lucerne Glacier Garden, an intriguing ancient cave, rich in history and secrets. Following our insights into its past, we will take a peaceful walk along the picturesque shores of the Lake of the Four Cantons.
After around two hours of exploration, we will wrap up the tour in the heart of the city.
