Lucerne, Switzerland

Nature Walk in Lucerne

Even the most urban cities hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Lucerne's parks, gardens, and green corridors offer a breathing space between the landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find.

Lucerne is a fairy-tale Swiss city where a medieval covered bridge spans the Reuss River, pastel-colored buildings line the waterfront, and Alpine peaks frame every vista.

Top Nature Walk Spots

•Lion Monument — a dying lion carved into a cliff face, commemorating Swiss Guards killed during the French Revolution — Mark Twain called it the saddest stone in the world
•Musegg Wall and towers — a remarkably intact 14th-century fortification with nine towers along the hilltop, including the Zyt tower housing the city's oldest clock
•Old Town painted facades — medieval streets lined with frescoed buildings, half-timbered houses, and covered bridges dating to the 14th century
•Lake Lucerne waterfront — an alpine lake surrounded by mountains including Pilatus and Rigi, navigable by historic paddle steamers since the 1830s

Hidden Nature Walk Gems
