About this experience
You will stroll through cozy old streets, discover interesting details in the architecture of houses and admire amazing bridges, churches and sculptures. You will also follow in the footsteps of famous writers, artists and composers, and learn about the modern traditions of the city.
What to expect
The very best of Lucerne
I will show you the city's top attractions: Europe's oldest covered wooden bridge Kapellbrücke, the fortified wall with a row of nine towers, and houses of different guilds. Also, the Mill bridge with chilling frescoes 'Dance of Death', the alchemists' workshop, and the sculptural composition of Dying Lion. Furthermore, you will hear about how Lucerne inspired Leo Tolstoy, Goethe, Chagall, Turner, and Rachmaninoff, and find the church where Wagner got married.
History and modernity of Lucerne
Walking through the Old Town, you will decipher paintings and ornaments on the facades of 15th-century houses, enjoy the harmony of Lucerne, and learn about who left their mark on a time-blackened bench many hundreds of years ago. I will also share information about modern locals: their traditions, shopping habits, food choices, and leisure activities.
Organizational details
If desired, we can briefly stop at a cozy cafe, pastry shop, or restaurant. Food and drinks are paid for separately.
