Meet your private guide in central Lucerne for your 2-hour morning walking tour. Start with an overview of Lucerne, a beautiful lakeside city in the German-speaking part of Switzerland that boasts a fascinating history, scenic Alpine views and a vibrant local culture.
Visit several top Lucerne attractions including the famous the wooden Chapel Bridge (Kapellbr□cke), a symbol of Lucerne, spanning the Reuss River. Built in the 14th century, it’s Europe’s oldest covered wooden bridge and the oldest surviving truss bridge in the world. On one side of the bridge you’ll see the Water Tower, a site that served as a dungeon during the Middle Ages.
Amble hidden roads and popular public squares full of locals for a glimpse of daily local life in Lucerne. Learn about Switzerland’s Jesuit and Protestant religious heritage at historical Jesuit Church, and then witness the pristine acoustics in the concert hall of the Culture and Congress Centre (known simply as the KKL). Your route also includes a sight of the imposing Musegg Wall, that marks the remains of Lucerne’s medieval ramparts.
Along the way, hear stories about the city’s history and culture, and let your guide know if there are any other sights you’d like to see ─ as this is a private tour, you can customize your itinerary. End your walk near the start point.
