Known as the most beautiful and ideal tourist city in Switzerland, it is also the most popular Swiss resort. 🏞️🇨🇭 Lake Lucerne Lake Lucerne, also known as the Vierwaldstättersee, is the fourth largest lake in Switzerland and the first lake entirely located in Switzerland. The shoreline of Lake Lucerne twists and turns, giving rise to many forks that connect the city of Lucerne to the surrounding peaks. 🌊🏔️ Mount Rigi Known as the Queen of the Mountains, Mount Rigi offers a 360-degree view of the Swiss Alps, the idyllic landscape below, as well as 13 lakes, and even views of France and Germany. It's a great place to watch sunrises and sunsets, and in winter, you can often see breathtaking cloud formations. 🌅❄️ Chapel Bridge The Chapel Bridge, also known as the Kapellbrücke, is the symbol of Lucerne and the oldest covered wooden bridge in Europe.
