Lucerne, switzerland - Oh was für ein schöner Tag

---

Lucerne has a population of around 82,000, making it one of the most populated areas in Central Switzerland.  Over 80% of the population speaks German. (But they speak English, too.)  Situated on the gorgeous Lake Lucerne, with the Ruess River running through it, Lucerne is known for its beauty.

Lucerne is a high-end city, everything is a bit pricey.  I come from a resort town so I wasn't suprised, but if you don't, plan to open your wallet.  We didn't spend much time here as it was really just a staging location for our Mt. Titlis adventure.  But by all accounts, this place is worth the trip, especially in warmer weather.

Lucerne is a great summer destination, with much to do around beautiful Lake Lucerne. I happened to go in December, so there weren't as many options but it was still a beautiful city.

1. Obviously, Mt. Titlis.  Whatever time of year you are guaranteed a majestic experience.

2. A panoramic sightseeing cruise on Lake Lucerne.

3. A walking tour to learn about the breathtaking architecture, the unique local traditions and rich history.

4. A Lucerne CH Experience - chesse, chocolate, chapel.

A well know monument is the wooden footbridge that dates back to 17th century that still has a few of its interior paintings (from the same era) after a fire in 1993 destroyed most.  This lady is the oldest wooden covered bridge in Europe, as well as the oldest truss bridge in the world.  She isn't going anywhere!
