Absolutely loved this! Was a highlight of our time in Lucerne. Self guided tour of the rampart wall and the towers that are open. You can safely explore at your leisure and the exhibits and information is understandable and interesting. We really enjoyed the walk up and around the area. Would recommend to anyone that can handle some stairs.

I really enjoyed the afternoon we walked the towered wall in Lucerne. The clock tower exhibit was very interesting as was the other towers that were open to explore and view the city from their heights. It is easy to find the entrance from the river but difficult to find the far north entrance.

Nine towers of the old medieval town fortifications spread along the northern town boundaries. They're dating back to 13 and 14 century, starting with Nolliturm which is down by the Reuss river, going uphill to Schirmerturm which is the last one. It's an easy hike going through a fairy tale residential area. Some towers you can climb offering terrific views of Lucern down. You'll need up to an hour to cover it with stops.
