We were traveling with a group of forty. Our guide took about 45 minutes to cross the bridge as he related many stories the pictures on the bridge illustrated. You would miss all of that if you just walked across. While we were doing it a young man about 25 sort of followed our group. He had a coat over... More

It is beautiful as it is very old, it has flowers on the sides, after we walked on it and took many pictures, we set at Starbucks and admire it for a bit.

this is where you have your picture taken to say 'Lucerne' - try to get there when bus tours are not hovering.

Before coming to Lucerne, tourists might all have seen the photos of this bridge. But it was still stunning to see the actual thing. It was beautiful! It’s close to the train station and cruise center. No matter what your plan is in Lucerne, it’s definitely worth of 20 minutes of your time, to take some photos and walk in... More

A picture perfect attraction across Lake Lucerne which is so charming especially the flowers along the side of the bridge, the mountains in the background and the swans swimming in the lake. A must see...

The title truly says it all. The Kapellbrucke is very pretty and definitely worth your time to stroll through. I would suggest however, if you can, try to go when there are not too many tour groups (typically in the evening around dinner time).

The wooden bridge was unique and beautifully built. Combined with its historical perspective it had become some sort of a landmark in Lucerne. For tourists, if you come to Lucerne, you must go and see this historic bridge for the compulsory photo session. The bridge was located close to the Bucherer building where busloads of tourists were dropped off to... More
