🇨🇭 Lucerne | I Prefer to Call It Luzern (Travel Guide)

📍 Lucerne, also known as Luzern (with a lake like a piece of jade and mountains like a lush forest), means "light" in Latin, symbolizing this place as a shining mountain lamp in 🇨🇭 Switzerland, warm and brilliant. 💡 💙 A city whose name is so beautiful it takes your breath away, with captivating lake and mountain scenery that is simply irreplaceable in its beauty. 🚞 Transport: Take a train from 🇨🇭 Zurich, and you can arrive in just over an hour. 🕑 (For sightseeing within the city, I recommend a 🚶🏻🚶🏻‍♀️ City walk, as the entire city is not very large.) 📝 Main Attractions: 1️⃣ Lake Lucerne 📍: It is said that Lake Lucerne is the birthplace of the Swiss Confederation. The color of the lake surface, under the ☀️ sunlight, displays an incredible 🟩 emerald green hue. ✅ Lake Cruise: You can choose to take a large 🚢 sightseeing boat or a 🛶 small blue boat to cruise around Lucerne. Looking up, you can see the majestic 🏔️ Swiss Alps in the distance. It's an absolutely wonderful experience! 🌟 2️⃣ Chapel Bridge 📍: ✅ The symbol of Lucerne, the world-famous 🌟🌟 Chapel Bridge, also known as 💐 the Water Tower Flower Bridge (I personally think photos really can't capture its grandeur). Built in 1933, it is the oldest covered 🪵 wooden bridge in Europe. The bridge is decorated with 17th-century paintings, and there is an octagonal water tower in the center, which was originally part of the city wall. 3️⃣ Musegg Wall 📍: ✅ The most surprising ✆ sightseeing spot!! None better!!! Climbing to the top allows you to overlook the entire city of Lucerne, with breathtaking views that are simply magical. 🤩 ⚠️ Make sure to navigate to the 📍 Männliturm tower. I highly recommend it. Although it involves a bit of a hike and some steep stairs, I strongly suggest you push through and climb up. It is definitely worth it! A hundred percent worth it! 🌟 4️⃣ St. Leodegar Church 📍: ✅ Located by Lake Lucerne, with its iconic twin spires, the church is particularly exquisite inside. 🕍 5️⃣ Lion Monument 📍: ✅ Described by Mark Twain as "the saddest and most moving stone figure in the world." 😋 Cuisine: For 🍫 chocolate shops, I recommend Bachmann, a local century-old dessert shop (opened since 1897) with very distinctive local packaging. There is also a 🤩 chocolate waterfall wall inside for photo opportunities. 🔚 Although Lucerne is not very large, there are plenty of interesting places to visit. 🎞️ I wish everyone a pleasant journey! 🎉 #Switzerland #SwissTravel #Lucerne #LakeLucerne #LucerneTown #LucerneTourism #EuropeanTravel #OutdoorsIsMySpiritualSanctuary
