Not just a beautiful city because of its attractive old town, but also a city on a beautiful location, and a perfect stepping stone to exploring the Alps, just a little more to the south.
From here a short walk took me to the Lion Monument, erected in memory of the Swiss mercenaries who died during the French revolution, in defence of King Louis XVI. The design of the sculpture was made by Bertel Thorvaldsen, but Lucas Ahorn carved the lion out of the rock. The lion clearly invokes feelings of sadness in its onlookers, you can almost feel the pain in this rocky lion when you look it into its eyes. Next destination was the Musegg wall, rampart walls that have protected Lucerne against invaders from the 14th century. The wall is further fortified by nine towers, three of which can be climbed in summer. You can walk the wall between several towers which offers good views over the old town.
