Lucerne

With its spectacular lakeside location, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, Lucerne is one of the prettiest cities in Europe. There are plenty of things to see and do in Lucerne; yet it is a peaceful and quiet city, the perfect place for a relaxing holiday. Picture these scenic ingredients … swans gracefully gliding by, willow trees swaying in the breeze, colourfully decorated ancient buildings and boats bobbing on the lake. Take a stroll around the lake, explore the charming Old Town or be adventurous and make your way up to the summit of the spectacular Mount Pilatus. When hunger calls, pop into one of the characterful restaurants for some hearty Swiss fare and gaze out at the spectacular views that seem to greet you from wherever you are in this picturesque city.
