Lucerne is the most beautiful city in Switzerland

WALK THROUGH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CITY OF SWITZERLAND — ALUCERNE

The Grand Tour, as the final stage in the education and upbringing of young people from the aristocratic families of England, necessarily included a visit to Lucerne, from which the history of the independence of the Swiss Confederation began. They were attracted by the climb to Mount Pilatus and Rigi, pleasant boat trips on the lake to Bürgenstock and other attractions.

Thanks to tourism, the city has changed a lot. We will see wide streets and many buildings in the liberty style. But of course, much has been preserved here from the Middle Ages. The city is located on the shores of a lake of the same name with drinking water, surrounded by beautiful mountains, just 45 minutes from Zurich or 3 hours from Milan (Switzerland is part of the Schengen zone).
