LUCERNE: Switzerland's Alpine tourism paradise

Christopher Lombardi, Special publications, Published on 12/07/2018

» A good way to start your Lucerne holiday is with a look from afar, and the best place for this is atop nearby <b>Mt Pilatus</b>, which offers spectacular panoramic views of the city and surrounding area. During summer months there are plenty of hiking and walking routes that lead to the top, or you can hop aboard the <b>Pilatus Bahn</b>, Europe's steepest functioning cog-wheel railway, with mountain valleys and Lake Lucerne providing picturesque backdrops.
