Tourists from Germany, Austria and Europe use the unique opportunity to experience Lucerne and the surrounding area without the usual density stress at that time.
The small town of Lucerne – embedded in an impressive mountain panorama, is the gateway to Central Switzerland. Thanks to its many sightseeing’s, attractive shopping options, its unique location on Lake Lucerne and the nearby excursions on the mountains Rigi, Pilatus, Titlis and Stanserhorn, many guests visit Lucerne on their journey across Switzerland.
World famous Chapel Bridge
Lucerne’s cityscape is characterized by the covered, medieval Chapel Bridge, which is considered as one of the longest and oldest covered wooden bridges in Europe with its triangular gable paintings. Another landmark of the city is the 10 meter high and 870 meter long Musegg city wall, which has been preserved with 9 towers in its original defensive form.
Day 1: Golden round trip to the local mountain PILATUS 2’132 m
By boat it goes from Lucerne to Alpnachstad and then with the STEEPEST RACK RAILWAY IN THE WORLD to the local mountain Pilatus Kulm 2’132 m above sea level. A breathtaking panoramic view over the Central Swiss lakes and the Swiss Alps will inspire you.
With a fine glass of wine and a Central Swiss specialty, you can enjoy pure quality of life and pure joy on Lucerne’s local mountain. After a spectacular ride on the red cable car and the panoramic gondola lift, you will reach Kriens, where you can take bus number 1 to Lucerne, back to the Hotel MONOPOL and Hotel ALPINA.
