Yelp Review 2026 #101:…read more St. Leodegar Church is a historical Catholic church opened in the 1600s. It was linked to the Habsburgs and Benedictine monks. It's a very important church in Switzerland. It's been through war and fire. I suggest coming here either in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid tour groups and the occasional school field trip groups. It's quiet and empty. You can pray if you practice or just have a quiet moment. You can light a candle, grab a bottle of water for a little donation.

These towers were all that was left of the structure after the fire of 1633. The church was rebuilt on the original foundation in the Baroque style of architecture while retaining the medieval towers. I was more interested in the Assumption of the Virgin Mary Altar. I've never seen one like this before that visualizes the story of the Virgin Mary on her deathbed. I looked around for more information about it. It appears that this altar had also survived the fire. It dates back to some time in the early 1500s. It's definitely unique. The rest of the church is not as ornate. The vaulted white-stone ceilings and arches along with the dark wooden bench seats give it a nice contrast between light and dark. It's a beautiful church. One thing to note is that there are quite a few steps to climb if you want to visit the church. However, I did see a car at the top of the steps. Did someone drive it up the steps, or is there a path behind the church? I have no idea. It's worth looking into if you have limited mobility. There's a church cemetery garden as well as lovely fountain in the former abbey courtyard and square. It's a peaceful & breezy walk up there. It was a nice little visit on the way to the Lion Monument.

Amazingly beautiful church. Very close to the train station. If you think its facade is pretty, you…read morewill be blown away once you step inside. The architecture details, the ceiling paintings, totally worth it to visit. And even if you are not a religious person, and don't speak the language, try to go during the mass. The organ playing, the singing, quite the spectacle.

Yelp Review 2026 #88:…read more Located along Reuss River connecting old town and new town Luzern, Chapel Bridge or Kapellbrücke. It's iconic because when you look up "Lucerne" on Google, a picture of this bridge pops up. It was built in the 1300s and is the oldest covered wooden bridge in Europe. When you through the bridge, you'll see paintings of Swiss history. A fire in 1993 burnt the bridge but it was reconstructed and re-opened a year later. The Water Tower at the end of this bridge was once a prison. It serves other purposes since then. The water is so clean and clear so when you take pictures, you can capture reflections of the bridge and the buildings around it. There's a lot of places you can take pictures of this bridge from. It has no bad angles. Work it, girl! The best part? It's free to see and walk through. We got here before 7:15am and only 4 people were here. By 8am, annoying people with tripods and selfie sticks started showing up with their entitled you're-in-my-shot attitude. They're never cute!

It's the iconic wooden pedestrian bridge over the Reuss River in Lucerne. It connects Old Town to…read morethe transportation hub and the more modern parts of town. The hanging flowering plants that decorate the bridge make it the most photographed spot in Lucerne along with its 13th century water tower. The tower was once a prison in medieval times. The original bridge was built in the early 1300s. Unfortunately, most of the wooden structural parts of the bridge were destroyed in a fire in 1993 along with the triangular historical paintings. I believe some did survive and were restored. The other paintings are reproductions. It's still beautiful despite all of this. We found it to be very crowded but easy to find a space for pictures. The view of the painted buildings along the Rathausquai is priceless. It's a great place to be on a sunny day. It's also the perfect place to be on a rainy day to shield you from the elements. It's very close to the transportation hub (train, bus, and ferry). There are many awesome restaurants with great terrace views of the bridge. Depending on the season, there will be roasted chestnut kiosks along the river as well. It was probably the first place that we visited on the day we arrived. It just happened to be the perfect route to take on our way to visiting the historic Lion Monument. Make that crossing for the history and great views from the bridge. You won't be disappointed.
