Tips

Hiking

Near the left bank is the octagonal water tower, which was built around 1300, before the Chapel Bridge, and can be reached from it via a short cross-passage. The tower was used alternately as a watchtower and cornerstone of the fortifications, as a city archive and treasury and as a dungeon and torture chamber. Today it houses a souvenir shop as well as the clubhouse of the artillery association Lucerne.

So much has been written and said about him that I want to hold back here. Only one. No visit to Lucerne without a visit to the water tower and the associated Kappelbrücke. If you missed that, you could have stayed at home right away.
