    Luzern, Switzerland – We Love Surprises

    When we first started mapping out our itinerary for Switzerland we planned to spend time in bothInterlaken and Zermatt. Both destinations have a lot of similarities to Whistler BC (one of our favouriteplaces on the planet), surrounded by rugged snow-capped mountains and loaded with outdooradventure.

    We had visions of challenging hikes to jagged peaks followed by whitewater rafting and mountainbiking. Then we snapped out of it and heard Baby B crying for attention.

    Times have certainly changed!

    This trip to Europe was going to be different. We now have to consider Baby B’s needs and his dailyroutines. Long hikes and rafting trips need to be put on hold for the next year or two, so wecontinued our research and looked for a Plan B – a destination that would deliver the natural beautythat we had come to associate with Switzerland, yet offering “stroller friendly” activities andsightseeing opportunities.

  • So we “settled” on Luzern as an alternative. I use the word “settled” because we were somewhatbummed that both Interlaken and Zermatt were getting scratched from our itinerary. It had nothingto do with Luzern as a destination, it was just that we had heard such great things about Interlakenand Zermatt.

    We were traveling with our Rail Europe train pass, so we wanted a location that was centrally locatedand well connected by train. Luzern appeared to be a good fit and was less than an hour away fromZurich (did you see our photos from Zurich?).

    So we made our train reservations, booked our hotel and began researching the next city on our trip(Strasbourg, France). We didn’t give it any more thought after that – until we found ourselves on thetrain from Zurich to Luzern. We realized that we knew very little about the city – had we made theright decision to skip Interlaken and/or Zermatt for Luzern?

    We were pleasantly surprised.

    I think it took us about 5 minutes to fall in love with Luzern. It may have been sooner, but we werepretty focused on finding our hotel and didn’t notice our surroundings until we reached the infamousstone tower and wooden bridge.

    It has everything we look for in a European city – historical architecture, outdoor restaurants,cobblestone roads, red roofs, fresh flowers hanging from windows and pointy cathedrals thatdominate the skyline. We love surprises!

  • Our attraction to Luzern began when we witnessed its stunning architecture and colourful murals. Aswe wandered through the tight pedestrianized streets we couldn’t help but admire its creativity. TheOld City is a living and breathing outdoor art museum!

    The plan for our trip to Luzern was to reach the peak of Pilatus (more on that later), wander thestreets and check out the sites, sample locally crafted beer and enjoy traditional Swiss food.

    Like most cities in Europe, Luzern is filled with outdoor restaurants that spill onto cobblestone streets.We can’t think of a better place to spend an afternoon!

    That said, budget travelers beware – Luzern is not cheap. To put food and drink prices intoperspective, we’ll share the results from our typical “Big Mac” and “Beer” tests. We always use beer

  • and Big Mac’s to compare the prices of a travel destination – it’s not exactly scientific but it works!

    A 50 cl beer was approximately 8-10 Swiss Francs, equivalent to about $9-11 CDN. A Big Mac combowas 14 Swiss Francs, which is equivalent to approximately $15 CDN. So, a Big Mac combo followedby a beer will set you back about $25 CDN.

    Now, we are not suggesting that you eat at McDonald’s, far from it. After all, you didn’t travel all theway to Luzern to eat crappy food when there are so many wonderful restaurants to choose from.Just budget accordingly and the prices won’t sting as much.

    We loved the variety of restaurants that line the Reuss River in the Old Town. Initially we weresurprised by all of Italian restaurants in Luzern, but then we realized how close Luzern is to northernItaly. I think we just assumed that Swiss cuisine was identical to German cuisine (there are certainlysimilarities, but we also noticed a heavy Italian and French influence).

    We weren’t complaining though, we LOVE Italian food. We enjoyed a fantastic baked cannelloni withsmoked salmon, spinach and cream cheese while catching some sun on a riverfront patio.

  • The iconic Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke) with its stone water tower (Wasserturm). Originally built in1333 as part of Lucerne’s fortifications, it is the oldest wooden covered bridge in Europe and is theoldest surviving truss bridge in the world.

    It’s without question the most photographed and top tourist attraction in Luzern.

    looks gorgeous! I also really want to see some places in the Swiss Alps (like Zermatt) – I’ve been to

    many places in the Austrian Alps, but haven’t been to any in Switzerland.. I have to admit that the

    prices put me off – the weekend I spent in Zurich was one of my most expensive trips ever

    We were just in Lucerne last week. I loved the city, the scenery, the architechture, but the prices of

    everything were outrageous. We spent $30 on two coffees and two pastries…come on. Then we

    ate dinner at the Brauerei by the water and it was terrible food and service for another absurd

    price. I want to love Lucerne but because of the bad value for everything, it’s not my favorite city!

    The prices of Switzerland seem to be a common complaint by travelers. We also ate at the

    Brauerei on the river but our experience was different – we had great service and the beer was

    delicious (but the bill was steep). I guess it really comes down to expectations. We just paid with

    our credit card and didn’t think about.

    the wonderful Switzerland has become close to unaffordable since the Swiss Franc gained so much

    I was surprised too after seeing your photos. The city looks amazing especially the views near the

    river. I want to stroll around and simply be transported to a new beautiful place. Thanks for sharing

    these!

    Happy to stumble upon this post! I just got back from a long weekend in Zurich and Luzern. My

    cousin has been living in the area so she took me sightseeing. I also was surprised by this area and

    had a great time enjoying the mountainous scenery, beautiful architecture and the clear waters.

    Wonderful photos too!

    Reading this post brings back all beautiful memories about Switzerland. I lived in Luzern for 1 year

    for study. It’s such a charming city. I love all your pictures, very pretty
