Overview
Come discover Lucerne, a picture perfect town set against the backdrop of the majestic Alps and the glacial waters of Lake Lucerne! Your guide for this walk comes with extensive experience and hundreds of five star ratings. The tour loops through the old town and new town, visiting both sides of the Reuss River. Each site along the centuries old cobbled streets has a story to tell, from the Chapel Bridge's burning to the carnival celebrations. You'll pass by wine, grain and pig markets, each with its own unique character. You will see the guild houses, the other covered bridge, and find out about that castle on the hill. Along the way we will talk about the legends of Lucerne including the Ritter Palace, the Wild Man and others. And of course you will meet Lucerne’s famous Lion!
