Old Town Lucerne

Introduction

Lucerne's Old Town sits on the north bank of the Reuss, among the best-preserved and most charming medieval quarters in Switzerland. Almost car-free, its winding cobbled lanes, flower-decked squares and colorful historic buildings delight—most distinctive are the many old houses whose facades are covered with fine murals of history, guilds and legends, like an open-air gallery. On ancient squares like Wine Market and Deer Square, fountains, open-air seats and markets brim with life. Behind the town rises a nearly intact medieval wall (Musegg Wall) with nine towers, climbable for views of the old town and Lake Lucerne. Strolling this old town of painted houses and flower squares, visiting murals and climbing the wall, is the best way to feel Lucerne's medieval charm and Swiss small-town flavor.
