This morning we moved out of Italy towards Switzerland - took a train trip from Venice to Milano to Lugano to Luzern (Lucerne). On the way was the enchanting Swiss countryside – green meadows and hills, serene lakes and quaint cottages.
In the evening in Luzern, we took a leisurely walk through the streets to go to the Lion Monument. The Lion Monument is located in a cozy park surrounded by a small pond, trees and flowers. The monument is in memory of Swiss guards who were killed in 1792 during the French Revolution.
The other place worth visiting in Luzern is the Chapel Bridge. This is the oldest surviving wooden bridge in the world and is over 600 years old. Inside the bridge are series of paintings that depict Luzern’s history. In the middle of the lake connected to the bridge is also the Water Tower, another 13th century construction.
