Chapel Bridge Lucerne is a must-see in Europe, blending history, culture, and stunning scenery. This ancient covered wooden bridge crosses the Reuss River, connecting Lucerne’s old and new towns.
Chapel Bridge was built in 1332 as part of Lucerne’s defenses and has survived through the ages. It showcases 17th-century paintings that illustrate Swiss and Lucerne history, highlighting the city’s rich past. The nearby Water Tower, dating back to around 1300, enhances the area’s historical appeal.
Fly into Zurich and take a train to Lucerne, which takes about an hour. Once in Lucerne, the bridge is easily reachable on foot. While Lucerne’s public transport is reliable, the old town’s narrow streets are best explored by walking.
Visiting Chapel Bridge Lucerne is free, and it’s open all day, making it a cost-free highlight of your visit.
