Overview

You’ll explore the most important landmarks of Lucerne’s Old Town at a calm, comfortable pace, with time to notice the details and ask questions. Whether you're a solo traveller, a couple, or a family, this private walking tour adapts to your interests and curiosity, giving you space to enjoy the experience your way.

With a focus on quality, authenticity, and meaningful moments this tour is perfect for those who appreciate cultural depth, beautiful architecture, and a deeper understanding of the places they visit.

From November to April, the iconic Musegg Wall and Clock Tower are closed to visitors, but we'll still walk up the hill for panoramic views and a close look at the exterior of the wall. Please note that this specific part of the route is not wheelchair accessible, while the rest of the tour can generally be enjoyed by wheelchair users.

The tour starts at a central meeting point, but I’m happy to meet you at your hotel in Lucerne upon request—just let me know!

Activity itinerary

Torbogen Luzern
  • 5m
Your journey begins at the iconic Torbogen. This majestic arch is a historical gateway into the heart of Lucerne, a perfect place to introduce the city’s past and present. Here, you’ll meet your local guide for a brief introduction and overview of the tour.
KKL Luzern - Lucerne Culture and Convention Centre
  • 10m
From the viewing terrace near the KKL (Culture and Congress Centre Lucerne), enjoy stunning views of Lake Lucerne and the surrounding Alps. There your guide will share a short introduction to Lucerne’s history and highlight the modern architecture of the KKL as a symbol of the city’s cultural life today.
Chapel Bridge
  • 10m
Step onto the Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke), the oldest surviving wooden covered bridge in Europe. Admire the painted panels under the roof depicting scenes from Lucerne’s history and mythology. Your guide will explain the bridge’s role and history.
Jesuitenkirche
  • 10m
Admire the striking facade of the Jesuit Church, the first large baroque-style church built in Switzerland north of the Alps. There your guide will share a storey or two that shaped the city’s religious and cultural landscape.
Pont Spreuer
  • 10m
Visit Lucerne’s second covered wooden bridge, often overlooked but full of character. As you walk across the Spreuer Bridge, you’ll notice a series of vivid 17th-century paintings overhead. Your guide will introduce you to the unique artwork and the unexpected theme behind these dramatic scenes.
Weinmarkt
  • 10m
Step into one of Lucerne’s most charming Old Town squares, surrounded by beautifully frescoed buildings and centuries of tradition. Once a bustling market and gathering place for local guilds, Weinmarkt offers a glimpse into Lucerne’s civic and commercial life in the Middle Ages. Your guide will point out architectural details and share how the space has evolved through the centuries.
Musegg Wall
  • 15m
Visit the well-preserved Musegg Wall, part of Lucerne’s original medieval fortifications. Several of its towers still stand proudly today, including the Zyt Tower (Clock Tower)—home to the city’s oldest clock, which still rings out before all the others.
Lion Monument
  • 10m
Pause at the Lion Monument, a striking rock carving often described as one of the most moving sculptures in Europe. It honours the Swiss Guards who died during the French Revolution, and your guide will share the storey behind this national symbol of bravery, loyalty, and sacrifice.
Hofkirche
  • 10m
Your tour ends at the Church of St. Leodegar, one of Lucerne’s most significant religious landmarks. With its twin towers and historic interior, it offers a peaceful and meaningful conclusion to your walk through the city’s past.
