Lucerne, Switzerland
If you’re flying from Dubai International Airport, it will take you nearly 7 hours to reach Zurich
Airport. You’ll spend another 40 minutes to reach Lucerne. But with this destination’s majestic
beauty, the travel is worthwhile.
The picturesque city is your gateway to central Switzerland. Meaning, if you choose this as your
destination, you can take advantage of several excursions that will take you to Switzerland’s finest.
Whether you’re heading to the Pilatus or Rigi mountains, taking a steamship cruise on Lake
Lucerne, or exploring other scenic locations like Stanserhorn and Bürgenstock, Lucerne is a perfect
base.
However, you mustn’t miss exploring what the city itself has to offer.
Lucerne is famous for its well-preserved architecture, and one of the most instantly recognizable
landmarks here is the Chapel Bridge. It’s also one of Europe’s oldest wooden bridges. Another
highlight is the Museggmauer. This ancient wall is almost entirely preserved in its original fortified
form. Another iconic structure is the Lion Monument, a rock relief commemorating the Swiss
guards who died in 1792 during the French Revolution.
If you’re an art enthusiast, the Sammlung Rosengart is an intimate paradise. It primarily features
Pablo Picasso’s works, but it also houses pieces from Paul Klee, Paul Cézanne, and Claude Monet.
If you’re into transport systems, the Swiss Museum of Transport is a must-visit. It provides you with
a comprehensive look at the history of Swiss transport — complete with interactive exhibits and a
vast collection of vehicles.
Lucerne also offers modern marvels, including the Culture and Convention Center (KKL). Known
for its cutting-edge design, it hosts major classical music events, including the prestigious Lucerne
Festival.
