What Is Lucerne, Switzerland Known For?
With its stunning lakeside location and mountain sceneries on its doorstep, Lucerne is one of Europe's most charming cities. Once a simple fishermen's village, Lucerne is now a charmingly pleasant small city with a thriving tourism industry, thanks to its status as the scenic gateway to Central Switzerland. A city of bridges, picturesque mountains, placid lakes, chiming cowbells, quaint Alpine villages, and verdant meadows full of Edelweiss, Lucerne looks exactly like what one would imagine Switzerland to be.
Places to Visit in Lucerne, Switzerland
- Mount Pilatus: When one is in Lucerne, it’s impossible not to be mesmerized by this 2,128-meter mountain to the south. Looming over the city and offering fantastic opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, Mount Pilatus is steeped in folklore and glorious alpine beauty. Named the “Dragon Mountain,” Mount Pilatus is said to have been the home of dragons imbued with healing powers. From hiking and climbing to summer tobogganing and railway tours, no matter who you are, all are blessed with the opportunity to admire the spectacular mountainous scenery of Mount Pilatus.
- Lion Monument:Designed as a memorial for the mercenary soldiers from central Switzerland who died while serving the French King Louis XVI during the French Revolution, the Lion Monument is an imposingly grand statue depicting a dying lion backed by the shields painted with the French fleur-de-lis and Swiss coat of arms. Symbolizing the grace, strength, and majesty of the soldiers who gave their lives, the Lion Monument is a point where one can not only admire the beauty and power of its craftsmanship but also admire and remember those who are honored by the monument.
- Lake Lucerne: Known as the “Lake of the Four Cantons,” Lake Lucerne is a spectacularly stunning, irregularly shaped lake that seduces all to explore. With four arms extending from the main body at sharp angles, Lake Lucerne is surrounded by gloriously epic limestone mountains on all sides. Soak in the bountiful beauty of nature as you walk around the pretty promenades or sail on the placid waters.
