Best Luxury Hotels in Lucerne

Described as the Heart of the Country, Lucern is a Swiss city of two parts. These are connected by a long – and picture-perfect – wooden bridge dating back to the 14th century and decorated with pictures representing Lucerne’s past. And there are many other photo opportunities to be taken here; the aquamarine lake, a glacier garden, the pedestrianised Old Town with its painted murals, pretty squares, churches and the Lion Monument statue carved out of natural rock. A boat trip is a must, as you gain a closer look at the alpine peaks rising from the city’s perimeter.
