Praktické informácie
Lucerne's Verkehrshaus der Schweiz, or Swiss Museum of Transport, is an unexpectedly extensive dive into the country's transportation history, featuring everything from vintage steam locomotives to space travel exhibits. Located on Lidostrasse, it offers interactive displays that captivate both history buffs and families alike. A short walk away, the Richard Wagner Museum, housed in the composer's former villa, offers insight into the life and work of the legendary composer, with views over Lake Lucerne that are as compelling as the exhibits inside. In the heart of the city, the Spreuer Bridge offers a unique perspective on Lucerne's medieval past. Unlike the more famous Chapel Bridge, Spreuer Bridge features a series of 17th-century paintings depicting the Dance of Death, a theme that resonates with the city's rich history. Nearby, stop at the Rathaus Brauerei for a pint of local brew while enjoying views of the Reuss River. It's a perfect spot to unwind after exploring the lively squares and cobblestone streets of the Altstadt, or Old Town, where frescoed buildings narrate stories of yesteryear.
