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.
Lucerne lies on the northwestern corner of the Vierwaldstättersee, or Lake Lucerne, and is most famous for its wooden covered bridges. However, the city has much more to offer. I decided to start walking along the shore of the lake, with some nice views towards the higher mountains in a distance and lots of boats. I first came across the Leodegar cathedral, alternatively called Hofchurch, or Hofkirche, one of the remarkable sights of the city that can be seen from far away, thanks to its sharply pinned spires. Originally, there was a Benedictine monastery on this same spot, constructed in the early 8th century, which was destroyed by fire. The current building was built in the 17th century.
