Set on the shores of a glacial lake, medieval Lucerne is Switzerland´s prettiest city.

Located in central Switzerland, Lucerne is less than an hour´s hyper-efficient train ride from Zurich.

The azure Lake Lucerne is the city´s big blue heart; in the summer swimmers dive from public baths, lidos and the lakeside promenade into its Evian-fresh waters, while revellers soak up the view from paddle boats, yachts, lilos and small cruisers.
