Lucerne

The city of Lucerne is located directly on Lake Lucerne. More water in a city is almost impossible. The Reuss divides Lucerne and beautiful bridges unite the city again. The northwestern arm of Lake Lucerne is literally enclosed by the city area. Typical landmarks of the city of Lucerne are the Culture and Convention Center KKL with its imposing roof, the Glacier Garden with the Lion Monument and of course the medieval Chapel Bridge.
