This is the well known landmark of Lucerne: the Chapel Bridge (also known as "the tower and the bridge".
Constructed in first half of the 14th century as a part of the city's fortifications and named after St. Peter's Chapel, which is located nearby. The paintings that were added in the 17th century illustrate scenes of Swiss and local history, including the biographies of the city's patron saints, St. Leodegar and St. Maurice. It's absolutely easy to visit..because it's in the center of lucerne.. it's harder not to visit it, than to make the walk over the bridge :-)

So we got up pretty early so that we could catch the early train to Lucerene becasue we were so unimpressed by Basel.

Oh no!!! Steph got my bug!!! So after only a few hours of sightseeing together, I had to do most of Lucerne on my own.
