Lucerne
Lucerne is a small city in central Switzerland. It sits along Lake Lucerne, with sights of the Swiss Alps.
Bourbaki Panorama, a 360 degree painting depicting Red Cross humanitarian efforts during the Franco-Prussian War. One of the volunteers in the Red Cross, Edouard Castres, painted the panorama.
Near the Bourbaki Panorama is the Lion monument, as well as the Glacier and Garden Museum which has great information about the history of glaciers in Switzerland plus a tree house (great views) and a mirror maze.
The Musegg Wall and its towers form a crown around northern Lucerne. The wall was built in the 1300s to protect the city. Today, the wall serves as a walking trail with great views. Another landmark is the Chapel Bridge, the oldest wooden covered bridge in Europe.
Mt Titlis
Titlis has a ski resort as well as a large glacier at the top. The world's first rotating cable car takes visitors to the top of the mountain. At the peak, visitors can hike across the glacier and walk the Titlis Cliff Walk which is Europe's highest elevation suspension bridge. Being in Switzerland, one of the buildings has a big Swiss style watch.
Glacier cave.
Mt Rigi
Mt Rigi is also known as the Queen of Mountains. Being surrounded by Lake Lucerne, Lake Zug and Lake Lauerz, Mt Rigi provides visitors spectacular views, especially on sunny days. Trains running along a cog railway - first mountain rail in Europe - transport visitors to the peak of Mt Rigi.
Mt Rigi is also a perfect spot to watch the sunset.
