While my time in Lucerne was unfortunately limited to only one day, that didn’t stop it from being probably the most picturesque city I’ve ever laid eyes on. With towering mountains overhead and vast crystal blue lakes between them, there aren’t many places that showcase the world’s natural beauty like Lucerne. So, regardless of how…

Most of these spots are pretty close together and relatively easily walkable, so I recommend choosing which ones…
