Lucerne is Central Switzerland's largest town, located on the western shore of Lake Lucerne where the lake meets the Reuss River. The serene lakeside setting, the green rolling hills backed by snow-covered mountains, and the beautiful old town, combine to make Lucerne one of Switzerland's most charming and picturesque cities.
Lucerne's most famous landmark: the Chapel Bridge, a 14th century covered footbridge that was once a part of the town's fortifications. It is the oldest wooden bridge in Europe. The Wasserturm, the octagonal water tower in the center of the bridge, served as a lighthouse, prison and treasury.
