In their city at the heart of the country, residents are remarkably self-assured. They are convinced.
Lucerne is the essence of Switzerland. A picturesque city beside a deep blue lake, surrounded by spectacular mountains – what more could one wish for? The cosmopolitan little city on Lake Lucerne, so rich in tradition, not only boasts centuries-old sights but modern marvels too – such as the futuristic KKL (Culture and Convention Centre Lucerne) by the celebrated architect Jean Nouvel. It also has world-class museums, several theatres and internationally famous festivals such as the Lucerne Festival. Together, these make for a culture-filled city that discreetly offers its own unique and elegant blend of tradition and modernity – all with a captivating charm that is hard to resist.
