The most famous landmark of Lucerne is the watertower, attached to the Chapel Bridge, but there are more old bridges in this lovely town.
The most famous landmark of Lucerne and probably one of the most famous of Switzerland as a whole is the Chapel Bridge or Kapellbrücke and its watertower. Indeed, as soon as you cross the river to enter the old town of Lucerne, you note the covered, wooden bridge spanning the Reuss river, and somehow you recognize the watertower; even though you have not been here before, you have seen it somewhere. The bridge unfortunately caught fire in 1993, but it was quickly rebuilt, and you can once again walk the more than 200 metres inside, while looking at the paintings depicting Swiss life in the 12th century attached to the ceiling.
