Von hier wurde jahrhundertelang der Schiffsverkehr auf dem Genfersee und der bedeutende Landweg zum St.Bernhard-Pass beherrscht. Vom 12. bis ins 16.

In the city of Lucerne alone, the concentration of top chefs is striking: 16 restaurants have 250 Gault- Millau points among them. More than two dozen other wellregarded restaurants are scattered throughout the region.
