Lucerne, Switzerland

Photography Tour in Lucerne

The best photos of Lucerne aren't at the obvious landmarks. The real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot.

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 Photography Tour Spots

•Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrucke) — Europe's oldest covered wooden bridge, adorned with 17th-century paintings and guarded by an octagonal stone water tower
•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
