Lucerne is a fairy-tale town and one of the most popular tourist destinations in Switzerland, nestled as it is between beautiful Lake Lucerne and the peaks of Mount Pilatus and Mount Rigi.

Lucerne thrives on tourism and is a very friendly town, both in the summer and the winter time. The town straddles the slow, meandering River Reuss, which is criss-crossed by ancient wooden bridges and fed by the mighty Lake Lucerne. Cobbled, pedestrianised streets characterise the picturesque Old Town, where medieval squares abound and jagged mountain peaks form the skyline.
