Discover Lucerne's Top Sights in One Hour

Start your 1-hour private walking tour with your native local guide, Ralf, at your hotel reception. After a quick introduction, you'll take a public bus to Löwenplatz, or if your hotel is nearby, you can walk there. You pass by the Bourbaki Museum for a brief history overview.

Just steps away, visit the iconic Lion Monument, dedicated to the Swiss Guards who perished during the French Revolution. Learn about Switzerland's mercenary service, once its most profitable export.

Next, explore the heart of the Old Town, admire the painted facades at Hirschenplatz and Weinmarkt, and drink from the city's oldest fountain, known for its unique water.

Continue to Kornmarkt, home to the 17th-century Town Hall, and stroll through the legendary Furrengasse. Cross the world-famous Chapel Bridge to reach the Ritter Palace for an inside visit including the presentation of the seven Panel Art Gallery "the Dance of Death" by Jakob von Wyl.
