Visit Lucerne  Lucerne, capital of the Canton of Lucerne, is a main Swiss tourist destination in Central Switzerland and my hometown. Lucerne derives from an antique fishing village on the Lake of Lucerne, where was founded a Benedectine Monastery, Saint Leodegar. Following to the building of the railway through the St.Gotthard, the city of Lucerne grew in importance up to become what it is now, a favourite tourist destination. The city does regularly organize an important summer festival for classical music, at the end of every summer. Lucerne, which covers over 25 km2, is a lovely, lively, small city, rich of culture and past traditions, ideal based to explore other important sights in Switzerland. |
