What to expect

1

Meeting Point

You will meet your guide under the arch of the old train station (called "Torbogen Luzern") right in front of the main train station of Lucerne.

2
Chapel Bridge

We will walk over Lucerne's most famous attraction. Not for nothing is the world-famous timber bridge Lucerne’s most photographed destination, it being held in high esteem by visitors and residents in equal measure. Together with the Water Tower, the bridge forms a landmark in the townscape like no other attraction.

Duration 5 minutes
3

Lion Monument

Carved in stone, yet deceptively alive – Lucerne’s world-famous Lion Monument has been impressing visitors from near and far for very many years. The imposing stone lion, however, is more than “just” a monument. Depending on your point of view, it can be seen as a commemoration, a work of art or a memorial. And as a proud landmark of the city of Lucerne.

Duration 5 minutes
4
Musegg Wall

Carved in stone, yet deceptively alive – Lucerne’s world-famous Lion Monument has been impressing visitors from near and far for very many years. The imposing stone lion, however, is more than “just” a monument. Depending on your point of view, it can be seen as a commemoration, a work of art or a memorial. And as a proud landmark of the city of Lucerne.

Duration 20 minutes
5
Jesuit Church Lucerne

Opening hours permitting, we will visit the Jesuit Church from inside. Radiant in its beauty, recognisable from afar: situated next to the River Reuss, it is a treat for the eyes.

Duration 5 minutes
6
Franciscan Church

The Church of St. Mary in the heart of the Franciscan Monastery was erected between 1270 and 1280 by Franciscan monks, who occupied the site in Lucerne until 1838. The building's medieval architecture is typical of that favoured by this mendicant order of monks.

Duration 5 minutes
7
Spreuer Bridge

We will walk over Spreuer Bridge built in 1408. Its name comes from the word «Spreu», meaning chaff: the town's flour mills were permitted to dump their waste into the River Reuss from this bridge.

Duration 5 minutes
8

Muhlenplatz

Mühlenplatz, which first emerged in the late Middle Ages following the demolition of a terrace of houses, is, at 1500 m2, Lucerne’s largest historic square.

Duration 3 minutes

Hirschenplatz

Admire the traditional houses on Hirschenplatz square that feature fascinating ornamented facades which are under historical monument protection.

Duration 3 minutes
