The famous city of Lucerne is located on the shores of Lake Vierwaldstattersee and the Reuss River.
It is surrounded by mountains, so in independence from the time of year you can admire the high snow-covered vertices, flashing in the sun. This is the pearl of the country, no less significant than the capital of Bern and the magnificent Geneva.
There is also a wonderful bridge, which is a local attraction, Spreourbrucke, or a mill bridge. Of course he is a little crazy, because he is also not quite ordinary. It is painted paintings on death. What is particularly interesting to connoisseurs.
There is a mill square, where to this day there are various fairs. We somehow came up with my husband here at the Fair of Vegetables. It was very fun and festive here, everyone had fun, they bought something, and I remember the original thematic idea of the event itself. Residents created a unique composition of vegetables in the form of a butterfly.
KappelBrucke, the second wooden bridge, whose length is about 170 meters also remembered among the attractions. He is rightfully considered the oldest in all of Europe. Throughout the length of the bridge, the bridge is indoor, and the pictures of the famous artist Henry Vagmann are located under the roof.
In Lucerne, there is a famous area of KaoellPlatz Square, on which annual carnivals are held. Be sure to visit the town hall Altes Rathaus, a very beautiful building of the Renaissance. The roof is made by a rectangle, which is quite unusual, and served as a watchtower.
Since 1872, in Lucerne, there is an ice garden-creation of the Mother of Nature itself. Scientists are convinced that many thousands of years ago there was a huge glacier. Children here particularly like it, the atmosphere of the fabulous ice castle simply fascinates them.
Near the Town Hall Altes Rathaus is the Picasso Museum, and the entrance to it is completely free. Well enjoy the rest in a nearby park with a fountain, there are located and a cafe with summer sites, which serves different Swiss delicacies, like racletta and fondue.
Passing along the Square is planned by the Lowendenkmal monument, or a monument to the dying lion. The lion itself is very large, and right before the monuments there is such a mini-pond, so it is not possible to come close to tourists. He is a symbol of the Swiss Guard and her courage and courage, carved in the cliff lion looks very beautiful and sad at the same time.
The museum of transport is also located in Lucerne, even the aircraft are presented here. The largest in Europe.
