A LITTLE CONTEXT BEFORE YOU GO
Lucerne’s old town and Chapel Bridge bring a historic cityscape to the shores of its lake. It makes a useful base for combining town exploration with excursions into the surrounding region.
Balance mountain outings with time in towns. A slower walk can reveal a different side of the trip from the major viewpoints.
