Lucerne is a city to fall in love with. The newcomer who visits Lucerne departs as a friend.
Due to its location on the shore of Lake Lucerne (Vierwaldstättersee) within sight of Mount Pilatus and Rigi in the Swiss Alps, Lucerne is traditionally considered first and foremost as a tourist destination.
