We will stop at various squares, learning about the history and traditions that make Lucerne unique. You will hear plenty of stories that will help you understand the culture of Switzerland better.

Jesuit Church Lucerne
Enter one of Switzerland's most beautiful Baroque churches and learn about the importance of religion for Lucerne.
Spreuerbrücke
Stroll across the historic Spreuerbrücke of Lucerne and learn about its importance for the city today and in the past. Here we will also get the chance to take a break and reflect on what we've seen so far.
Tradition is still alive in Lucerne today, especially at the "Nadelwehr," an old method used to control the water levels of Lake Lucerne. Your guide will explain how it works.
The walls of Lucerne are without a doubt a highlight of the tour. If the weather allows we will get the chance to climb the towers (optional) and get a fantastic view of the old town and all the mountains surrounding Lucerne.
Lion Monument
Have you ever seen a picture of the dying lion carved in stone? Mark Twain once called this rock relief "the most moving piece of stone I've ever seen". Now you'll get the chance to see it for yourself and learn about the meaning behind this piece of art.
Lake Lucerne
To end the tour, we will walk along the sparkling blue Lake Lucerne. Your guide will share stories about the founding of Switzerland and reveal the secret to being a "true local."
