travel europe switzerland lucerne around the city
Like any other city, Lucerne has it its old and new parts and both can be interesting.
With its face on Lake Lucerne, the city is quite enjoyable but, for some reason, it seems to lack an all-enveloping ambiance that would make it unique.
Still, when given the opportunity, I would not hesitate to return again and again.
