What to do and see in Lucerne, Canton of Lucerne: The Best Things to do Good for Kids
Lucerne is an ancient town with strikingly modern sensibilities. One of Europe’s oldest covered bridges serves as its centerpiece, and fresco-adorned historic houses line the streets, but it’s also home to the cutting-edge KKL, a concert hall and art gallery. Take the cableways up the Pilatus, Stanserhorn or Rigi mountains for breathtaking views, or see Lake Lucerne on a steamship cruise.

Even if you are travelling without children, there are a lot of fun things to do. Coming from an edutainment background, we really appreciate a museum with lots of hands on activities. The place is segmented into different transportation types, starting with locomotives. In each sections, there aren't just panels to read and buttons to press. There were simulators - the air craft simulator looks fun, it turned 360 degrees, games - there was one screen where you have to try to load a container onto a train, slides! Many other science museums can learn a lot from here. If you're bringing children, half a day may not be enough but fret not as there are restaurants inside.

We have traveled a bit on Switzerland’s lake steamers and love the relaxing, scenic hour or two on the way to a walk, lift, or village. Lucern’s lake is beautiful and varied. Take a picnic.

Reviewed By KatherineB2011 - Melbourne, Australia
Unlike the better-known Chapel Bridge, the Spreuer Bridge, further down the river, holds scenes showing Death interacting with human beings throughout history. The bridge is usually less busy so there's more opportunity to take your time and enjoy the details. It is possible to understand how people have experienced and used this bridge since its construction in 1408.

Old Town Lucerne is beautiful, with lovely architecture, the serene River Reuss, great shops and restaurants, a tasty craft brewery in Bierliebe & Friends, Europe's oldest covered bridge in Chapel Bridge, and more. Definitely worth spending a day and/or night strolling around--especially close to Christmas when the town is decorated accordingly and there are Christmas markets to enjoy.
