We transfer to Luzern, a picturesque city nestled between a lake and mountains, which has a lot to offer historically, culturally, and socially. Experience the unique landscape with the vibrant city and the calmness of Lake Vierwaldstatensee and after touring the fascinating glass factory we bike along the lake and cross-covered Kapellbrücke (Chapel Bridge), built in 1333, which links the Aldstadt to the Reuss River’s right bank with enough time to explore this great city.
