We were told Lucerne is Switzerland's most beautiful city. We would totally agree. It is amazingly beautiful and arguably the best place we have been on our travels to date. Again it is set on the side of a lake with a river through it. We took a 50 minute train west from Zurich and arrived mid afternoon. We followed the city map indicating important places to visit. The place has a lot of history, with the two old bridges across the river and the rampart wall/towers being the highlights. We enjoyed a good pizza sitting in the freezing cold but overlooking the river and mountains - it would have been wrong to sit inside! The following morning we awoke to snow! First time ever, quite exciting, until we had to finish our city walk and visit the dying lion of Lucerne in the snow!
