Lucern, Switzerland

GETTING THERE: about an hour via train from Zurich is the easiest way to go.  Check times and cost at the SBB site.

ATTRACTIONS:
  • Chapel Bridge - 14th century covered bridge
  • Water Tower - most photographed monument in Switzerland
  • Jesuit Church - dates to 1666
  • Markts/Platz - good people watching and food

SHOPPING:
  • Bucherer AG - one of the better watch shops in Switzerland.  They claim they have discounts on high end watches based on the volume they move.  You'll see tourists come by here in the busload.  It is on the opposite side of the water from the train station - about a 5 minute walk.
