Best spot to see in Lucerne!
Jun 2020 • Family
I actually visited in May 2019, however I’m unable to write a review for a date so far back.
Beautiful, breathtaking and a very peaceful experience. Loved this place and the serenity of just walking through the bridge and taking in the views. This is also a great spot to take pictures. I could go there every day and just by myself, read a book, grab a bite. Definitely a must see in Lucerne.

My guess is it’s all been said and written here already. We had fun walking over and the best views of it are actually from off the bridge on the sides of the river. Must do? Yes, of course it is!

Just a bridge
Aug 2020 • Solo
Just a bridge across the lake , nothing special at all , except it’s a must photo opportunity for tourists coming to e Switzerland and Luzern . In my view it’s a nice bridge but nothing to write hint about or indeed waste too much time writing reviews

A must walk
May 2021
This is an old bridge which crosses the river which flow through the city from the lake. It is one of the highlights in Lucern. It had been burnt in certain part years ago but now entirely redone but maintaining its old texture. Great for photos.

The beautiful Chapel Bridge is located directly
Oct 2020
The beautiful Chapel Bridge is located directly in the heart of Lucerne and it is nearby everything (close to the main train station as well). The scenery is absolutely is magical and at the back you can see the mountains! It is highly recommended to visit Lucerne, also as short trip or day trip.

This bridge really does give you a sense of history as you cross from the new side of the city to the old side.
Built originally in the 1300s and burnt down and rebuilt since, it is still spectacular. If you understand Swiss German you can read text and see paintings of old Swiss historical incidents along the bridge.
Great spot for a photo opportunity.

Iconic monument in the heart of Lucerne
Sep 2020 • Solo
An amazing icon of Lucerne with an interesting history—part of it tragic with the fire that destroyed half of the bridge in the 90s. Don’t forget to look upwards as you walk the length of the bridge to appreciate the original paintings.

Wonderful, scenic, lovely

In my personal opinion, one of the most scenic and lovely places in Europe, and, I would say, in the world. I felt in love with the Kappelbruecke !!!

Amazing architecture
Aug 2020 • Couples
The Chapel Bridge is an amazing place considering how old it is (despite the fact it had to be restored in part due to a fire). It offers spectacular views from all sides and has old paintings inside (so keep your head up as you walk through).

Traveling solo will be reaching Luzern on Friday at 20:30. Can I check in to hostel and come back around 21:30 to visit Chapel bridge or should I first visit Chapel bridge and then check in? How much time is required around the bridge?

sunset around the Chapel bridge is the best time to visit it, i think.
sunset is around 9 .15 pm in July. the ducks ans swans are on the lake having a beer on the far side of the bridge at a lake side "restaurant" looking back at the "new city" is simply marvelous!!

Hi BigHugh51,
I read you have visited the Kappel Bridge and would like to ask you a question. Hope you won't mind. how far is the bridge for train station? Do I need to take bus or other train to get there or it is a walking distance. Your response is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
HF
