Located on the shores of the enchanting Lake of the Four Cantons and dominated by the peaks of the Rigis and Pilatus Mountains, Lucerne offers everything you can desire for a relaxing autumn weekend. Do you love art? Then you can’t miss a visit to the Rosengart collection and the Museum of Art that boasts unpublished works of Picasso and Klee; or the giant marbles and finds of the Gleschergarten Ice Age or the technological discoveries of the Museum of Transport. But it is the entire city that will conquer you with its historical-artistic heritage of very high value, from the Kappellbrücke bridge with the water tower, to the walls of Musegg, the Jesuit church, the Spreuerbrücke bridge and the monument to the Lion.
The same charm of the city can be found in the surroundings where, thanks to the mild climate that favors the growth of Mediterranean plants, you can discover palms, orchids and chestnuts. In fact, the Wellness Destination award was awarded to the region, often called Riviera Lucernese.
The Biosphere of Entlebuch, a UNESCO heritage site, is located near Lucerne. Here unspoilt peat landscapes and karst formations characterize the only biosphere reserve in Switzerland. Many possible routes, ranging from energy path or fairy tales to Kneipp treatments or baths to peat, from mountain hikes with satellite navigators to guided trekking
Many are the emerging clubs that animate the nightlife of Lucernese, including the Blue where Asian design and elements contrast with the European splendor of the time of Louis XVI. Colorful drapes, black crystal candlesticks and transparent dividers, which favor the ‘flirt’ factor among the guests, attract the attention of those arriving.
Other meeting points for the Movida Lucernese are the Casineum, a dance temple that once served as a theatre within the Grand Casino Luzern and the Pravda Dance Club, from the glamorous atmosphere where the best national and international DJs perform.
To sleep, a classy choice is definitely the Palace Luzern hotel, elegant 5 stars overlooking the lakefront, with stunning views over the crown of mountains and an even more memorable gourmet restaurant.
