One of the most popular tourist cities in Switzerland: Lucerne

Lucerne, also known as "Luzern," is the capital of the canton of Lucerne in central Switzerland, located at the confluence of the Reuss River and Lake Lucerne. It is known for its beautiful natural scenery and rich history and culture, making it one of the most popular tourist cities in Switzerland. You can check out the Chapel Bridge, the oldest covered wooden bridge in Europe and a symbol of Lucerne. The Chapel Bridge spans the Reuss River and features 120 religious history paintings on its crossbeams. The paintings on the top depict historical stories and legends of Switzerland, full of artistic charm. Next, visit the Lion Monument, also known as the "Dying Lion of Lucerne." It is carved from natural rock, measuring 10 meters long and 3 meters high. The lion has a pained expression, with an arrow in its back, its front paw on a shield and spear, and the Swiss coat of arms on the shield. The monument was built to commemorate the Swiss mercenaries who fought during the French Revolution, honoring their loyalty. Here, you can feel its tragic and artistic charm. Afterward, head to Swan Square to see the beautiful swans playing in the lake. There are many shops around, and whether you stroll along the cobblestone streets of the old town or take a boat tour of Lake Lucerne, you can feel the unique charm of this city.
